That's what I was trying to say. Even an entry level arranger can be called a "workstation" without meeting those requirements. Just a simple midi sequencer is enough to qualify a device as workstation.
Workstation is a very loose term when used with arranger keyboards.
Korg calls the Pa500 a professional Arranger workstation as well.
Not according to the definition used by most pro musicians.. A workstation is a complete production platform, for producing content and final productions..
Just ask outside of the arranger world and anyone you will ask will disqualify both Korg and Yamaha for calling these arrangers workstations.
According to my definition, the only thing in Arranger country that comes close is the Korg PA4x, and even there quite a lot of things are missing.
Its both Korg and Yamaha and others abusing the term Workstation, and thats what i have been blaming mostly Yamaha for, for quite some time.
The Genos disquallifies as a workstation, so it should either get the missing features, or not be named a workstation.
That shouldn't be to hard? should it?
And if you want to know who made that definition of a workstation, well that was Yamaha and espescially Roland.
