Ian, I don't need any reason to bend your words. This is the gist of your apologia for Yamaha's dismissal of legitimate customer needs. In fact, it is your general mantra when ANYTHING negative is said about Yamaha.

They are the market leader, so why should ANY notice be taken of our needs? You PREFER the shitty action of the S900, and Yamaha see no need to change it, so the numerous post about this issue MUST be mistaken. And so on, and so forth.

The OBVIOUS fact you continue to disregard is that Yamaha will STILL be the market leader, should they decide to improve the PSR action, make an inexpensive 76, or add a decent harmonizer to the line. It's not like any of these things will cause a LOSS of revenue. Far from it. But inertia makes them slow to respond (this is an ENORMOUS corporation compared to Roland or Korg), but your constant mantra is, this is all part of some magnificent design, rather than what is obvious to the rest of us... This is a corporation that JUST DOESN'T CARE. "We're #1, why should we improve?"

You have, in the past, mentioned things that you would like to see changed, yourself. Do you hold as low an opinion of you OWN needs when ignored by Yamaha?

Or, perhaps, does it rankle just a LITTLE bit...?

Join the club, mate...
