The front panel should be unlabeled, and curated ‘collections’ of styles loaded in by the salesman appropriate to the age of the customer. Remember the Rapman? A simple arranger, but only containing rap and hiphop styles. Sold like hotcakes. Arranger industry didn’t learn a damn thing…


Hi Diki, couldn’t agree more. How great it would be if you could pick the genre of the styles you want and be loaded in as collections. Don’t know why they have this one size fits all attitude.
Don’t know the Rapman, sounds like someone had a good idea.
