if they can simplify the OS for the beginner thru the pro levels so that everyone can understand and operate the unit easily we will make strides beyond our wildest dreams for sure....I for one cant wait!!!

See that's where it gets tricky Dnj There are many arranger players who don't really dig into the synth editing on their units. The arrangers strive for that "out of the box" experience. The full synth is like a "Slutty Music Nympho" She's gonna give you some out the box bang, but she wants, she needs, to be tweeked. She's beggin for it

I think the market is already there. There should be more "in between keyboards".. More keyboards like the MM-6 for example. A basic synth that will get you into the concpet of what a full blown synth workstation will do.

It will be a lot of work to market a full synth to the beginner and pro. That manual alone would be as thick as a NYC phone book! This is the perfect spot for in between synths too. Arrangers can actually funtion as an in between (somewhat.. but, there are many players who don't use the synth function on their arrangers).

I get a lot of emails about editing sounds, and what does this "term" mean and what is it's function. These are some basic terms and fuctions that are on the PSR-1500/300, Korg PA's, and the Roland arrangers. Users of these arrangers just need to open their manual, read what the terms are, try to better understand what they do, and most importantly "tweek the sounds". Hands on is the best way to learn.
