The last couple of threads have whet my appetite for redesigning the next generation of arrangers. As clearly and plainly as I can, I will describe what I want. Please do the same.

1. Instead of hassling with softsynths and PCs, make an arranger that accepts soundfonts, much like samples.
2. Create a new style creation interface that encourages me to write my own styles.
3. Integrate something like the Karma technology into style creation and control.
4. Always offer a 76-key version of a mid to top level arranger.
5. Make the internal software so that it can be displayed on a CRT or interfaced into a PC/Mac.
6. Allow for optional memory upgrades.
7. Software upgrades.


That's a start, and it's not earth shattering.
