DNJ its not about the music. Its about selling products and maximising profits. The manufacturers dont decide what music is cool, the market does. And the market that the XS and motif range is aimed at says that fox trots,waltzes and twosteps are not cool. You may not like it but all busineses operate under the same principles.If they dont pay attention to what the market wants they simply wont survive. Maybe some day the synth market may develope an interest in the older styles again but i doubt it. If korg were to design an instrument like what i have but replace fox trots merengue ,tangos with more contemporary styles that would just suit me fine. If there were enough people out there like me to make a profit for korg then they would make it so.

Anyway there is enough choice out there to satisfy everyone but not everyone wants the same packageing. Thats why there are so many products being sold that meet either real or percieved needs. Its not personal.Its just business.
