Hey Diki,
I guess you could be right on the money going on the past trends .
But I think that todays Arranger workstations are going to be near the last ones ( in this format) that we will see.
If the fan base is moving more towards Synths workstaion with some of them already having some of the arranger bits and bobs; Arranger Workstaion in the format we see now will be near the best and last one sold to the public.
Some of the Arranger keyboards have a morfing of the Synth based boards, like Arps, of course you have ( for a long time) 16 track sequencer, and many other Synth based attributes.
My bet is maybe( if we are very lucky) to get one more generation of TOTL Arranger Workstaion and then that is that. Our current workhorses will then become collectors items in about 10 years or less.
