To get people to think and respond to these points, I will post it in this ridiculous and childish thread.

Is the reason why a few persons here on synthzone don’t want 76 keys on an arranger keyboard because they just don’t want and like 76 keys, or is it that they think 76 keys would make the arranger too too heavy, or that they have submitted to Yamaha’s brainwashing that we don need 76 keys and the 61 keys is enough for us arrangers.

If Yamaha made the PSR 3000 or the Tyros 2 with the same sounds and features but with 76 keys, 2lbs more than what they are respectively and $100 more than what they sell for, would they still by it or would they go and buy the Genesys pro (which is 61 keys)?

And how about the argument that the big three manufacturers use that arranger players are too dumb to use arranger modules? While synth players are superior so they make modules for synth players.

Look at Korg, they make a good keyboard in the Pa1x but refuse to make a module stating that there is no market for modules. But they now have a M3 keyboard and simultaneously, they release a M3 module. They really have a low impression of arranger users.

So we as arranger players are stuck with Gem and Ketron for modules.
But neither of them can get it right.

Ketron decided not to have some of the basic arranger features on the midijay like style creation.
And Gem forgot that they were making a module and made it too big and forgot to have midi implementation so you can control it from a controller keyboard.


So lets get down to some real arranger talk where people can “learn”.
