Not as bad as it seems, as providing you have a copy of the keyboards OS (Or a cloned drive) you are good to go now and into the future.

The reason for this is that apart from the keyboard OS, all the rest of the software is by 3rd party companies who made them for computers in general and not just the Media station, thus they are still being updated.

Hardware wise the only stumbling block is the interface board (In-Out) which is specifically for the Media station, the rest is just standard PC hardware which can be picked up from computer parts supplier.

Contrast the above with a hardware arranger as if the manufacture goes out of business your stuffed, and have to hope that nothing goes wrong and you are happy to stay as is. (Just ask Technics & Gem owners)
