I don't understand why Yamaha and Korg, can not instead of bringing out new models, offer hardware upgrades along with software.
It seems to me that the T5 and the new PA4X have plenty of room to expand both sample and feature data before having to release new models.
Also considering the IPAD, why on earth when you could develop an app to run things put a screen on the keyboard at all. much cheaper to make less complicated, and you could use mini ipad to ipad pro for your selections and so on.
Lastly i would be very happy to spend $1k to upgrade hardware in the arrangers rather than go out to procure a new one, and as the price of these machines keep going up it's getting harder to be able to do it. And they should be priced that same as flagship synths, not as they are way above that.
thats never going to happen, the hardware costs to produce a new tyros should be around $300, the rest of their costs are software development related...
Development costs of an upgrade are equall to development costs of a new instrument... If they would sell that kind of updates for $1000 they would loose money.
