And if it has taken Yamaha over 10 YEARS to respond to what seems significant customer demand, perhaps having the most sales isn't necessarily the best thing..? It has made them complacent and unresponsive.
Much like Roland's response to the chord sequencer...let's just hope the BK-9 sells enough to warrant another MOTL arranger, let alone a TOTL.
Sales and overall interest (including here on SZ) appear rather tepid at best. If Roland has a lot riding on the BK-9, you'd never think it due to the poor promotion, and, if it doesn't achieve some sort of reasonable success...well, a TOTL would be a stretch to say the least.
They used to have great marketing at one time...maybe there's still a bit of complacency hanging on?
Korg's new arrangers will be out soon...that should really make things interesting.
