The Prelude and GW-8 are Roland's attempt to get the BOTL market. They don't have the capabilities of the E60 or G70. BOTL is dominated by the 61's, no reason for Roland, who are obviously struggling to find a reason to stay in the arranger business at all (and who can blame them, as young players are giving them a wide berth) to try to invent a new market segment. This point has always been about MOTL and TOTL arrangers. Yamaha already make 76 BOTL arrangers. You don't hear me crusading for one of THOSE... If I were, I can guarantee that I would be as critical as you of no 76 GW-8 or Prelude.

Whether Yamaha choose to fill in the gaping gaps in their product lineup to compete against Korg and Ketron, Wersi and Lionstracs (LOL to that last one!) is up to them. But as many PA2Xpro's and Audya's as get sold, for Yamaha to not want a piece of that is a bit strange.

The market DOES exist for a 76 PSR... For Yamaha, it would be players wanting to upscale from the DGX line or YPG's, etc.. Currently, they leave them NO option but to migrate to another manufacturer. I don't know about you, but that hardly seems good sense for any company, especially, as I keep saying, as LITTLE as Yamaha would have to do to make one. Simply place all the S910 electronics in a slightly larger case with a 76 (maybe even a DGX case) and voila! The DGX910...

You trying to tell me that you would have TROUBLE selling one of those, Ian? To existing DGX players?

REALLY...?
