Nice in depth review,......don't be surprised if some of these features, trickle down and you find them on new models from Korg, Yamaha, etc, also in the future. Many of them are needed if they want to draw in the younger players to create the music of today on a keyboard with many needed multifunction capabilities...
I am glad we finally agree on something... But you are right, arranger workstations still are a thing of the future, and these new features will be very welcome in countries where the youth allready plays arranger first and foremost (balkan, middle east, asia, south America)
I am quite sure, this design will sooner or later replace the 4 multi pads on the current arrangers...
