Another thing that surprises me is, for those people that think Yamaha is the be all and end all of arrangers, why would you NOT want Yamaha to bring out a 76, and remove the ONE impediment to us ALL being devoted slavish fanboys of Yamaha?

Here's the deal... Korg manage to stay in business offering a 76 and a 60 of the same arranger. Ketron manage to stay in business offering a 76 and a 61 of their arrangers (remember, the 76 Audya is the ONLY arranger in their current lineup that's a 76, isn't it?). Roland, up to the final G series, offered basically a 76 and 61 of the same arranger, and only JUST left the arranger market (for reasons that had NOTHING to do with the G70 being a 76 - after all, if the vast majority of arranger players hate 76's, how come the G1000 was such a huge hit?).

And, let's not kid ourselves. Yamaha DO make 76 arrangers. JUST REALLY BAD ONES. Even the über-expensive, über-heavy CVP's have at LEAST one generation (more like three, in truth!) out of date arranger technology in them. So, once and for all, will you SHUT UP about the fact that Yamaha don't make 76's and 88's.

They do... They just SUCK!

Isn't it about time Yamaha made a GOOD 76 arranger? I mean, what's the point in making BAD ones?
