Chony,

Personally I would love to see an arranger merged with a synth workstation (a keyboard that has huge sampling memory, fully editable sounds, arpeggiators, styles, large waverom, lots of knobs and sliders).
I think its about time, c'mon we live in the 21st century, I really think that this arranger "home"-keyboard vs "professional" synth workstation thing has lasted long enough, I think its time to actually create a keyboard that can be a synth and an arranger at the same time, but then again, this whole hardware synth/arranger system is very inefficient.
Take the Openlabs Neko for instance, you can put your own sounds & synth engines on it, and probably even run auto arranger software on it as well.
What I want to see is a hardware keyboard, with a custom designed OS just for music software, and new standards for style formats, sequence formats, sound libraries, something like a 21st century GM/XG system, effects etc.
So you can combine any soundset with your own styleset, own sequencer, own effects and the list goes on.
You dont like they way your keyboard sounds? just install a different or newer soundset.
you dont have to buy a completely new keyboard for it .
I really hope to see more Neko-like keyboards in the future, and that they will create some standards and formats for them.
But I can only hope .

Greetz ,
Marcel
