The "label" is of zero importance to me. I guess it's sort of a loosely applied term that could help point me in a certain direction when choosing new gear. Pretty much once I'm in the music store, I've already done research that points me in the direction of the right gear to check out. A visual glance at an actual board that I may not have researched, along with noting which boards sit next to it, often tells me enough to help me determine if it might fit into my plans.

Beyond that, I couldn't care less. IF I were still playing with others in a band, having a "workstation" vs any other type of instrument is not going to change how I play or make a difference in my ability. So I simply don't care about it. They can call the Genos ( or insert your choice ) a workstation, synth, arranger, strange alien instrument from another planet... etc etc. I simply don't care
