Content... Isn't it about time that American music got the love and attention that even schlager gets?!

Country... Zydeco... Second Line... Cajun... Grunge... Classic Rock... New Wave... Ska-punk... Tejano... Americana...

Genre after genre with little to no styles available, and then the arranger companies wonder why arranger sales fall flat in the US? Imagine how few sales in the EU would happen if schlager and sing-along stuff were equally scarce?

And don't even get me started on how even LESS attention is paid to MODERN US based styles. Sure, yes, you are going to need those loop and arp features incorporated to do them REALLY well, but even with today's arrangers, something that players under 30 might want is scarce!

However, I still believe that the primary reason for all this boils down to how easy the arranger manufacturers have made style piracy. I am convinced that, were it possible to actually get PAID for each and every style that gets used, 3rd party style creators would fill ANY stylistic gap the manufacturers leave. But who wants to go through the hassle and time it takes to create a GREAT style when you can make but a small percentage from it compared to how many players are actually PLAYING your style?

Few.... from what I can see.
