What would it take to awaken US market as far as Arranger Workstation are concered...

hmmm... good thing some one brought it up,

very close to what I'm ALWAYS thinking all the time, exept that I don't have just arranger workstations concerd, but all kinds of keyboards pianos, Arrangers, Music Workstations, organs, synthesizers... etc,
cuz nowadays guitars(and Bass and Drums) are more popular than anything...
I'd rather fight to make all kinds of keyboards more popular not just arranger workstations... because... I don't know how to explain this to you...
ok, a Guitar player can play basicaly an Acoustic Guitar, Electric, 12-string... etc..
almost the same thing with keyboards, all keyboard players, or i should say all Arranger keyboard players i know around here where i live, we play piano, Arranger, Sequence/Record... we don't saparate that bad, Even some proffessionals played on my own VA-76(one of 'em even played with styles a little bit at my house)well there are some Pianists that only play piano... But still,
Another thing is, that Workstations have an arpegiator, and there is Karma, that are similiar to Arrangers but just fall more into "pro" category..
I hope You understand what I'm trying to get across.

And Some nagative thought:
Don't forget that whenever we're playing with styles(Auto Acoompaniment), those styles were made by some other musicians, and it's like we are using some one else's work.(Unless we are using self-made styles)Even if Arranger Workstations will make it to a pro level, probably of them Arranger Keyboards will be sold without styles, so that user can make them himself
