Diki.., the only arranger company in my opinion that's even showing the slightest interest in catering to the younger arranger player is Korg. Korg's approach is right on in that they give the arranger player all the tools you need, but go further and do a good job at integrating the synth/workstation along with the arranger.

The MS is also another good example... Concept itself is great..., styles are another story... However, Dom has even voiced his lack of interest in the US market.

I'm not shocked about GEM. When was the last time we really heard about anything from them??? I'm also not shocked in the least about Roland's position as well considering Roland US seems to go OUT OF THEIR WAY to show their lack of interest in the arranger department.

Thankfully Korg and Yamaha are still hangin in there with us.
