This is a really big deal to have someone of the stature of Jacob Collier endorsing an arranger keyboard .

I was thinking 'This is the type of person KB manufacturers should have endorsing their products', and then I read this comment on the youtube page - I guess there will always be naysayers .... :
[color:#FF0000]Our favorite wonderkid, experiencing some serious cash flow right now. Anyone who believes that Jacob has a need for a Yamaha workstation, really?[/color]

He is quite talented ...

It is, but as the arranger keyboard is dying off (The Genos is starting to move away from arranger play (Hence it can be targeted at a younger audience rather than all the old fogies) it’s a bit of a moot point.

I believe Bill is right; but there is no need to worry most of us will be gone before the arranger keyboard is no more.

There is very little that the genos can do that the tyros 5 before it couldn’t do . It just sounds better that’s all.

An arranger keyboard still has preprogrammed drum patterns and chord patterns that will follow the left or right hand or both depending on the keys you press to direct your arranger. I don’t believe they are dying . But I do believe that different aspects of the instrument capabilities can be marketed to different people.

That’s what all arranger keyboard manufactures have been negligent in doing and I guess business reason for that is that they do not wish to cannibalise the other keyboard sales

That’s exactly what most used to say in the electronic organ heydays, (The arranger is just a spin-off of the easy play features which has been developed further) and it is no different today with arrangers. (There heyday has/is coming to an end)
