I can't wait to buy a Genos in 2029
By then Arrangers will have evolved into what arranger players have always wanted them to be; an MP3 player with a transpose button. The TOTL model will also have pitch and timing correction for vocals OR a feature which will allow you to just type in the lyrics, choose from a selection of voices, and it will generate the vocals FOR you. We will no longer have to hear "here it is, mistakes and all" or "I did it in one shot". However, I have three predictions:
1. Fran will still figure out how to defeat the system, especially the pitch/timing feature
2. Bachus will declare the system PERFECT if only it would take selfies of you during your performance.
3. Donny will question when the new model will be released the day after the initial roll-out.
And finally.....
NO, I AIN'T DEAD YET!
