GJ: I think you hit on it. Yamaha has re-branded the “arranger” as “workstation “.

Just because workstation was defined as something different in the past doesn’t mean it can’t pertain to today’s arrangers.

Besides, arranger has a somewhat negative connotation among “real” musicians. Maybe this will begin to give credibility to the current state and quality of “arrangers”

Lord knows the price dictates a higher quality instrument. Hey...now that Yamaha are referring to arrangers as workstations, maybe they’ll price them accordingly!
