I have no doubts about the accuracy of your musings, but rectifying these design flaws is a lost cause in OMH. Considering that a relatively small number of arrangers make up their customer base, and the only hope of sales in the future would be designing something to appeal to the young, which sure ain't us, I don't see a turn around in the offing. Since Europe is a bigger market, perhaps I am too negative, but I believe I am somewhat representative, and never use the Korg KAOS, for one thing.

Diki, I realize you have a huge grasp of the workings of an arranger, and your view is from that position. I have to believe that the majority of us arranger users are in my category, and I am not hopeful.

Having said that, I am very satisfied with my cadre of arrangers as they are, as I can't think of any feature I don't have that I need.

I thought I was wrong once, but was mistaken.
