I am going to NAMM tomorrow. I will make sure to drop into the Kurzweil booth as they have 2 new arranger keyboards that I haven't heard anyone mention. They are the KP300X and the KP150. http://kurzweil.com/product/kp300x/

Dexibel upgrades its Vivo S3 and S7 to a pro version.. I don't see many changes.. Its still the same sound engine as all their other stage piano's so far..
(Only S9 has a 2nd engine for organs)

Lots of software upgrades.. both for softsynths, ipad apps, but also for hardware instruments..
This is my favorite piece of software ever,..
Omnisphere/trillian/keyscape.. the later can be used inside Omnisphere Now there is hardware support for more instruemnts, like the nord stage 3
Many hardware companies keep adding new features..and content for years after the release of their instruments... actually the only high end pro instrument where we haven't really seen this yt is the Yamaha Genos.
Kurzweil for instance over time have changed the forte from a stage piano into a fullfledged synth workstation. Adding an FM engine for free in their latest update..

Look for a guitar playing kid from Lexington named Ben Lacy. Think Chet Atkins on acid. He sometimes just shows up at NAMM, starts playing and has 5 or more exhibitors throwing money at him to work their booths. He works Ampeg a lot, since his "one man" technique includes a very aggressive consecutive bass line.
He's a big guy with long red hair, and he generally has a spittoon (ugh)beside him, which he uses frequently. When playing, he draws as big a crowd as Victor Wooten.
Been wanting to get Rory and Ben together.
He's all over the net...just look him up. Proof that there's no shortage of really talented kids to replace us old timers.
I've used Ben to play recordings when I used to do it and I "ain't no slouch".That's how good he is.

Roland seems to be coasting along in neutral. They need to put it in gear and put on the gas or they'll continue to eat a lot of dust from the likes of Yamaha, Korg and yes Casio too as well.
By the way the new Casio Privia PX-s1000/s3000 appear to be arrangers from what I've read. They have hundreds of "rhythms" to play along with but I'm not sure if there are variations, intro's or endings. Maybe it would be better to call it a semi-arranger? Too soon to tell but hopefully Casio will clarify more on how the auto-accompaniment works.
All the best,
Mike
The 3000 is an arranger with 200 rythms and 700 sounds comes at €900 The 1000 is just a plane piano with 18 sounds and comes at €700
Does the 3000 have the new AIX soundchip?
