History tough has proven that as soon as companies stop being innovative this will be the beginning of the end ...
As i said in another post, i feel sorry for the company that once ruled inovation with products like DX7 and VL-1.
LOL No need to feel sorry for Yamaha...They have 47% of the professional workstation market. Korg ruled with the M1 and Triton for a long time and laid an egg with the M3. Roland hasn't had a marque stage unit since the Jupiter days and the D series for a short time. Fantom is the loopers favorite for trance and dance. The Motif X series will be the king of the hill for awhile longer. As well as their Arrangers in the US anyway. Yamaha is a very healthy company. I ride a Yamaha V Star 1300 in whose factory the chromed drum hardware is made.....Yamaha has it going on many fronts. Don't cry for them....LOL
