AJ. I concur with your thoughts. I mean just 'how many' keyboard performers have any of you seen on TV, or live in concert on stage (other than us here, of course
) who are actually using a Yamaha PSR2000/2100 in their act. In fact, how many 'arranger keyboards' in general has anyone here seen used when attending a paid stage concert (either solo or group) show? We professsional arranger keyboard performers here are definitely a rare breed here. Home amateur hobbyists have been the arranger keyboard's primary marketing audience for years. It's only in the last few years that arranger manufacterers have finally begun to respond to the needs of the professional keyboard player. I predict that arrangers will be seen more often on stage in the years to come, and even become respected by fellow so called legit keyboard players as well. Times change, and people's taste do as well. I think it's important that we all continue to 'push' for arranger features required of the professional working keyboard player. - Scott
