Not sure if any current (or older) arrangers have this (maybe Ketron already has it?), but I'd to see a Breath Controller input...Yamaha (and some Kurzweil) synths have been using it for many years, and it is a great way to add expression to wind voices, and also to guitar sounds as well.

Maybe Ketron, being a smaller company, can readily add features like this.

And, I'm also for the Chord Sequencer that Scott (and Diki) mentioned already.

(New): I would like to propose improved 'cabinet dimensions' for arranger modules:

Current modules are too boxy (Ketron Auda 4: 21"L x 13"W x 5"H), making it difficult to access 'on the fly' all the button functions from the keyboard playing position (with module situated directly behind the kb controller), because all the module's button/slider functions are so tightly crowded together within a very limited confined area.

To solve that problem, I propose changing the dimensions of the module to something long and narrow, ei: 32"L x 7"W x 5"H. This would allow the arranger functions, sliders, and sound/style access buttons to be grouped, arranged & spread out 'across' the keyboard for far more convenient & reachably accessible' from the player's seated position, especially if the module is able to butt up directly behind & against the keyboard controller.

A pop-up style tilt screen would further enhance the arranger module experience too.

(old) how about something VERY basic & necessary,
like MICRO EDITING...
like the G-70 has had for years now

and being able to change FX, PAN, Volumes on EVERY single part of a single drum-kit... like the G-70 has...

A button that would make style part volumne the same. Example ? Audya style parts have volumne levels at 26 and some at 54 (out of 63). Instead of having to edit each and every part, have one button that would instantly balance the volumne to 50. It would be easier to edit and use the sliders in real time.

A change on the Audya ? SD1 has a button called "on line effects" . I would love to have that button on the Audya.

If I remember well, Diki has stated that "whoever brings back the chord sequencer, gets my money".

With this NEW stuff included it should slowly bring the future TOTL arrangers slowly into the $5000.00 - $8000.00 range in the next few years....before you know it we'll be paying as much as the old Wooden HOUSE ORGANS of years ago!

leeboy,

i just know the Roland G-70 as i don't have Korg Arranger

so it seems that Ketron needs to "catch up" in this department (micro edit)
