Yes that's right...it is "arrangers with single finger chords"...very perceptive of you, considering your handicap.

That makes it very simple...simple enough for even you to understand, although I have a feeling it could possibly slip by you again.

So, here it is again...if an arranger has a single finger chord mode, it obviously is a home keyboard...beginners use one-finger chords, so that's why it's there.

Now, you can tack on all the features you want, but it is still a "home" keyboard.

Even more remarkable, is that they are marketed that way in stores...why?

Because they are regarded as instruments for fun and for the hobbyist.

Stenciling the word "Pro" on them, is an attempt to expand the market from "home" users to professionals....more money for the manufacturer...understandable.

Here in Canada, and the USA, I'm told, the few G-70's that were sold were displayed alongside other arrangers, Atelier organs, Casio keyboards...they were, and still are, regarded as "home" keyboards...for awhile no one knew how to categorize them...no speakers was an attempt at looking pro, but single finger chords, and auto accompaniment like the Casio's near-by, shouted "home" and "amateur"...so, guess what won out.

Now, I know you sometimes have rare moments of lucidity, so I'm hoping you are in one of them when you read this post, and you can not only understand my point, but you can cut out the insults to Canadians (and your revelations of your ignorance of them as well) and we can carry on with your futile attempts to call an arranger with single finger chording anything but what it is...a "home" instrument, for fun and for hobbyists, occasionally used by professionals.
