Squeak the big problem Yamaha & other manufacturers is in educating the users of arrangers & synth programmers on HOW TOP USE THESE wonderful instruments via Demos, Videos, Live workshops etc etc .....with out that many people or potential buyers will stay clear of them because of the unknown & the separation of the musicians mindset, all styles of music must be addressed with these instruments that's what the world is made of ....If people dont understand them or see a need for them with THEIR Music they WILL NOT BUY THEM & the BIG DIVIDE will remain forever, for example out of all the patterns & arps etc on the Motif how many are Ballroom, related, or Latin, or Worship etc etc not many see my point... .....the arranger styles & synth patterns must be part of HYBRID.It is time for a meshing of the masses regarding Arrangers & Synths....we'll see in the future.
