If I were young enough and had the funds to pursue the arranger keyboard market as a business and manufacturing venture, you can bet your butt that I would be looking carefully at the wants and needs of everyone on this and several other forums. Then, that knowledge and priceless information would be compiled, analyzed and used to put out a product that would be very appealing to the vast majority of the pros. I can guarantee you that if the pros liked the features, the general public would as well. But alas, this will likely never happen--or at least that's the way it seems from my perspective.
Good Luck,

Gary, I think Ketron pretty much does what you are saying, although it takes them a long time to get around to it. And I don't know of any other company that would provide a TOTAL upgrade for an existing model as they did with the SD1 Plus. Not only did they start making the Plus, they provided the software free of charge for SD1 owners so they could bring their older keyboards up to date.
