I wish somebody would rethink the materials that go into the physical construction of the keyboard. There are super-strong, super-lightweight materials from which a super-strong, super-lightweight keyboard could be made. The actual case would weigh only a couple of pounds. It would have USB connections, ultra fast hard drive, detachable speakers you could use at home and not have to carry to gigs. It would quite possibly even be modular in nature to allow it to be customized for individual preferences. Its operating system would be COMPLETELY upgradeable and completly user-programmable. We would even pay for upgrades as new technology becomes available. It would be workable because the construction of the keyboard would stand the test of time and abuse.
In short it would be a valid tool for professional keyboard players who don't want to hire a drummer, bass player, band, etc.
I'm so smart it's a wonder I'm not rich isn't it? :>) It doesn't hurt to dream!
