Its not the arranger mechanic...
Its the content that chases them away..
Makes me wonder why yamaha only keeps adding 20th century music styles..
If they created a workstation with arranger capability where young people could create their own styles from audio loops and midi files.. it would sell big big big time....
You absolutely nail it. I have been saying for a long time that a workstation with arranger features ( which really cost nothing as it is just the addition of software features ) is the way to go. Maybe they may require a button overlay when in arranger mode to show what buttons actually do when in that mode.
A Korg Kronos, Roland Fantom or Yamaha Motif with arranger capability would be awesome.
Thing is, the Workstation and Arranger departments are separate, and are very protective of the work they do, plus if they merged (Shared a lot of tech and programming) then restructuring (Redundancy’s) would follow, so it won’t happen anytime soon.
