Obviously, the arranger division is completely incapable of relating to younger players (or anyone that doesn't want EXACTLY what they currently make, for that matter!), and so it all goes down in history along with all the other 'Whatever happened to...?' products.

Relating to younger players?
How many "younger" players can afford a Tyros4, or even a PSR-S910?
Not many.
The low end Casio's and PSR deal with that market...you best examine their tactics, and draw your own conclusions.
BTW, Roland made a similar product to the DJX, the DJ-70...more expensive, but it had a sampler... but, it was dropped after only two generations.
Why did they drop it?
Companies do things we'll never understand...and even if we do, it ain't going to matter.
