All that is saying is, because the styles and features best suit older music lovers, older music lovers buy them......
If they made them to suit younger musicians, younger musicians would buy them. They already buy Tritons and MotifES's like crazy because of the arpeggiators and little triggered loops, essentially crippled versions of what an arranger can do. The difference is the sounds and styles are cutting edge, NOT some older guy's re-interpretation of what might have been hip four years ago.....
Roland, Yamaha and Korg need to co-opt the voicing and loop teams from their workstations, and put them hard at work creating modern styles for modern arrangers, and the dissing will stop in its' track.....
