Phil: Arranger Keyboards (and synthesizer cousins) are probably going to follow the curve to which most other hi-tech gizmos seem attached. Truth is, we probably have no idea what will spark the next spiral of change. My guess is that in five years, maybe more, maybe less, we will see equipment that will absolutely dazzle us.
No matter what, the spiral will not be fast enough for any of us tech-addicts. It is amazing to see the different frequencies to which each of us are tuned on this forum. Despite this, we each contribute in some way and we all benefit from the exchange and camaraderie. RICE
