This invention is by a couple of Japanese dudes who have the backing of the largest piano and keyboard manufacturer in the world i.e. Yammie! So R&D should not be a problem in my opinion and which also leads me to believe that we may see this beast to the marketplace in a couple years or less.

Think about it?? If Yamaha is unwilling to bring a 76 key totl arranger to market their next best option would be to bring this all encompassing arranger technology to the masses in the form of a Rackmount or Tabletop arranger 'module'?!?!?

Food for thought anyway.

I would be the first in line to buy it so they will at least recoup some of their R&D back. I'm sure others will follow suit as well. In other words, it would no doubt be a hot seller from day one and Yamaha would again make beaucoup $$$$ on another arranger product, albeit, this time an arranger "module" product.

Best,
Mike

If Yamaha were to do that they would be able to recoup the R and D cost two times.

By putting it in a module, they would get sales from the initial hype of the new technology.

And for those who would not want to buy a module but like the 61 key keyboard, they would get it when Yamaha puts it in to the T4.
