And not just Roland aira series...
There is Korg Volca
Roland boutique
Analogue synthesizer revival
New affordable analogue synthesizers from Behringer
And offcourse ipad apps and DAW's

And if the youth really wants to learn and play an instrument..
They choose digital piano's
Quite affordable, like the Roland fp-90 which offers so much for its €1600
And if they want to step up, the RD-20000.. still only half the price of a Tyros

Strange thing is, they dont know what an arranger can do for them on stage
And then, does a piano player need styles? Or does a drumcomputer do the job?


let me add most "arranger uninformed" pro musicians I know dont want to play to a premade repetitious track aka "styles" and rather create from scratch their own songs the way they want them arranged using a sequencer & multitracking to get the results exactly how it needs to be ....yes and arranger makes the process easier to a point but the creation process starts with sequencing for the real pro and I can understand that...there is a definite "DIVIDE" between the two camps Arranger & workstation etc....and its not getting any closer as you can see by less and less companies manufacturing arrangers and kids today and musicians making music in so many other ways,...
everything has its time.
