I think that the few people into arrangers these days are us...

If you look at keyboard retail sites like Sweetwater, Thomman etc, and sort by 'most popular' you've got to look way down the list to find a mid-line arranger or better. The only things that pop up early are $200-400 kids' toy arrangers.

I don't think this is unexpected. Arrangers have little use making modern music. So who's left? Us. Players that a) LIKE arrangers, b) play primarily oldies music, and c) have had decades getting accustomed to the advanced features that make what we do easier.

And dropping those features to go chasing a demographic that doesn't seem to exist strikes me as yet another suicide run by the manufacturers. You can't sell them to kids because they suck at modern music, and you can't sell them to arranger players because they suck at being arrangers!

Awesome job, Roland!
