Perhaps it’s just me getting old, but does anyone else find it a bit incongruous to have two older geezers do the demo, but both the first two style examples are EDM?!

Rather the mixed message…

I think that there’s a definite market for less technical young players to use arrangers rather than loopstations for creating modern dance and pop music, but trying to think from a kid’s perspective, would I be interested in watching a couple of guys old enough to be my grandparents do the presentation? From what I remember of being a kid, probably not… 😂

If I were any arranger company looking to the future and wanting to get younger players to take the product seriously, I’d probably have two separate demo teams, one with these guys showing off the older styles and sounds, and a completely different bunch showing off the modern stuff comprised of twentysomethings…

I definitely remember that it was young players playing synths (Emerson, Wakeman, Banks etc.) that fired my desire to own my first ARP’s and Yamaha’s etc.. I’m not sure how I’d have reacted if I’d seen them played by an old geezer..! Now I am one 😂
