The bottom line still is that Yamaha aren't going to make a 76 note TOTL or MOTL arranger until they feel there is a decent market for one.

But I'm not ASKING for a 76 TOTL or MOTL arranger. Yamaha don't have to make one. I just want a better DGX piano

The DGX competes with Casio's instruments.

More dogma... The DGX competes with whatever Yamaha WANT it to compete with. Currently, though, Yamaha don't want the DGX line to compete with the PSR line. Which, of course, it could only do if it WERE actually an arranger. Which you have said it is NOT...

So where's the conflict?

You see the problem in painting yourself into a corner?

Yes, that might be true, and for the time being, they compete with Casio.

Really? I suppose anything is possible, but where did you get this information?

It's the first time I've heard of it.

However, when it's all said and done, the fact remains that they don't make TOTL or MOTL arrangers with 76 keys...the reason why they don't is actually irrelevant.

The DGX line competes with Casio.

Korg and/or Ketron are in another segment altogether, especially regarding price and features.

I thought you would have known that, Diki.

Circular logic, Ian.

No, I'm afraid I'm not as dumb as you look, my friend...circular logic only seems to apply to those unwilling to accept reality, and in this case, it's the fact that Yamaha isn't making a TOTL or MOTL arranger with 76 keys...the reasons are moot.

That's not to say they won't ever make one...maybe they will, but let's just say it's probably a good thing you bought an extra G-70.

Ian

PS...Doesn't the Korg PA2XPro interest you at all?
