No one says you have to buy it....there are many other arranger KB options on the market....in this economy manufacturers need to make a profit in some way and will go with their R&D had dictated for their customer base to earn a profit.....it might not be what you need at this time but for others it could certainly work for them, Yamaha Music division knows what they are doing or they wouldn't be in business.....a release of a so called new MOTL arranger KB will not change anything.....
just think of what we had just a few short years ago in technology?.....I'd say we have come a long way in a few short years with more changes coming year by year....what we have today will be ancient in the near future also...enjoy the moment and enjoy your making music.
