If they at the end manage to deliver hardware that stands up for years and is capable to swallow lots of softwareupdates, it's great.
But, it's probably poor business for both the companies and distributors?
And not to forget, it may be a nightmare for Donny that have to wait much longer for new arrangers to try out.

so what does this mean for arranger keyboards down the road...
OS updates only & many years in-between new models?

Donny, I've been to Havana and Gitmo City - those cars were junkers and the only thing holding them together was the paint, many of which were painted over with house paint. There was a black market created just after Castro took over and 3rd party parts were smuggled into Cuba from the US. Most of the cars burned as much oil as they did gas. And, I don't recall seeing any Model Ts or Model As there - mostly 1950s Cheveys and Fords, a few Cadillacs and Lincolns and lots of very old, converted, school busses. Nothing had AC.

All the best,

Gary

[Really 6K Aust dollars should mean updates like this and I thank Yamaha from the bottom of my heart. I love my Genos and it’s going to be unbelievably better after the 15th November!

Hi Robbo,
They’re very expensive here. Actually would make one more likely to spend that sort of money if they knew it had a longer shelf life than the 3 year cycle . You buy it , 3 years later , new model. You lose so much money on them when you sell them.

P.s small world. My S950 found a new home out your way.
