Answer 1 Question

Would you pay $1000 for the software Dongle or small module version of a Tyros, Kopg PA series, or high end Roland arrangers. Think how easy it would be to have your modules sent back to the manufacturers for new styles & sounds and other goodies. That my dear friends is the kind of business I think is king.
Residual income ??????????

Why did I say Dongle or attachement versus the Total software aproach. Protecting their investments and keep upgrading.

Keyboards are going to be around for a long time & so will some arrangers. For a lot of folks quality is very important. People will pay for the sounds & styles they want.

Just my 2 cents worth maybe someone from the big 3 might be thinking - Small up front cost got all the rest of the stuff all ready.

Styles & Sound

Diki "Your primary problem with a TOTL arranger module is that the physical buttons themselves are a LARGE part of how we play the thing, and they need to be as close to the keyboard as is humanly possible. No remote keyboard offers enough buttons or flexibility of programming them, and no arranger has remote codes for ALL the functions you are going to need

Really good point!!!!

What are your thoughts of a touch screen Laptop. you could make it jump through hoops.

Have fun Every one.

Been a great topic
