I'm almost tempted to start throwing around the terms Home Arranger VS Pro Arranger and comparing. So, the Tyros doesn't work for you, Jim...you buy a Korg. The Korg doesn't work for many people as well...so they buy Yamaha. Not much good comparing, as they are designed for different markets, although, there is some overlap. No matter how you cut it, both companies are very successful at marketing their arrangers. You like Korg, some people don't. I like Yamaha, some people don't. Unless Korg takes off the Single Finger Chord setting, it is just another home arranger, albeit, one with a bit more depth to some of the functions. Of course, if you must start another pissing contest, I'm sure there are those who would like to contribute to it, even if it is, and always was, a big waste of time. I have better things to do. Ian

Originally posted by leeboy: James...it is true. The Yamaha arrangers are home keyboards. That is Yamaha's target market. You can not compare them to the PRO arrangers like Pa2Xpro, which has tons of PRO synth features as well as being an arrangher..
So, lt's don't try to compare them at all...they are different animals.
Both excellant at what they do.
Lee S. The only thing "pro" on the PA2XPro is the name. For goodness sakes, Lee, it has single finger chording What "pro" arranger would have single finger chording, which is for the rank beginner? Yes, the Korg has more editing in the sounds and sequencer...big deal...most, if not all pros, use software sequencers that give you much more power and a much larger screen with which to work. The PA2XPro, is just a gussied up home arranger...that's all...take off the single finger easy play chording, and it might have a better chance.Ha Ha. Mind you, it is a nice piece of kit, but, then , so is the Tyros4, when you judge them both on their own merits. And yes, both are excellent at what they do, and both are intended for slightly different markets. You might be better off comparing the PA2XPro to the Audya. Ian

Originally posted by spalding1968: thank God donny the thread has steered away from your topic. Its not about supposedly yamaha taking down anybody. Your initial topic is still nonsense. You nor anyone can demonstrate in anyway that yamaha's strategy has caused the demise of any other manufacturers sales or their decision not to compete in th arranger market. I agree, Spalding...Yamaha has had nothing (or, at least, very little) to do with the demise of other arrangers. Roland caused it's own demise...Technics was discontinued by the parent company Matsushita Electric for reasons unknown, but it certainly wasn't because the product wasn't marketed right, or that it had become unable to compete on a technological level...they were great instruments, and were very popular. GEM also had internal problems in the company...the products themselves weren't at fault. Yamaha is made up of many divisions, and each one supports the other. That may be one of the main reasons they are still doing very well. It's always sad to see a company stop producing arrangers, as we both know, competition is what keeps everyone on their toes, and it always benefits the buyer. Ian
