But the birthdate of most of the inmates is getting more and more modern..!
I just feel that it's time to put the 30's and 40's material to bed, especially when it comes to PROMOTING arranger sales.
I'm in my early 40's and as a music lover I appreciate almost all kinds of music, even the music that you've been describing and what the demo's have shown.
However, my primary genre is ambient / chillout, that's the area I play most of my music. I play covers using this type of sound. I was really happy that Yamaha started to develop this genre of music on the T4 however I was really disappointed to see that Yamaha have not taken this further or even added a single style for this section of music, that was the main reason why I waited before I decided to upgrade from the T3 to either T4 or T5. I chose the T4 as the T5 offered me nothing in this area. So yes I agree that maybe for the slightly younger guys like myself I would *prefer* if companies started to develop this area which is where I think would get a lot of younger players more interested in arrangers.
