You won't find a Yamaha or Korg employee doing this because Yamaha and Korg products don't NEED this doing to them. But if they did, I am pretty sure that quite a few of you would be happy they did...

I'm sorry, guys, but I simply see this as just one MORE indicator of how bad arranger sales are, today. The Audya is a hell of a good sounding, well styled product. But there's little or no distributorship, they can't afford to support it properly, they can't afford to fix it properly, they can't afford full-time staff, and they couldn't afford to wait until it worked well before they released it.

Sadly, I think that eventually, all that will be left is Yamaha (and maybe Casio) making bland toys for boys and girls of all ages. Let's face it, consolidation has never made anything BETTER... Just homogenized, bland, and indifferent to niche needs.

Glad I got my G70 before the rot set in!


I think you hit the nail on the head (for this you get a gold star).
He is only filling the void that some arranger products have.
It seems like others have sour grapes against AJ. Just because he is very talented and has the business sense to fill a void people are mad at him because they do not have the same talent and business sense to do what he does.
In order to get you have to give. You can not expect the home company to do every thing for you to help you sell the product.
