Hi Ian.
You must also take into consideration that Korg do not make entry level arrangers.
But does that not just make my point even more relevant as none of the kids keyboards from Yamaha come with styles suitable for the actual music they listen to?.
Just like the old trick with the type (make) of cars used in Driving Schools, the students quite often buy a car from the same manufacturer.
I'm a bit like that myself but the problem still remains. Even if the kids stick with the same brand, will it be a Tyros or a Motif they will want when they advance? What is there in a Tyros right now that even comes close to what the kids listen to?
I also believe the way things are set up with Korg and Yamaha, that it allows them both to co-exist in a similar market, and also enables each company to access areas in which the other doesn't tread
I fear there is more to this. Yamaha have zero interest in making a top end arranger for the younger generation, and KORG are trying to please everyone all at the same time.
Both are not ideal solutions but at least there's a future for what KORG are doing.
Regards
James
