Well its almost time for the 2012 Musikmesse, which in most cases means more of our type of keyboards, (NAMM tends to be more pro synth) so what do SZ members think may be announced.

I think its time for Roland to get back intoo the TOTL arranger buisness...
The looks of a Fantom, with a new audio styles system, combined with Super natural sounds and their V-piano stuff in a 76 keys board would put them back on top....
But then this might be wishfull thinking from my part, tough i have had that feeling that Roland is planning something really big for quite some time now.
I could see Yamaha push the S950
But that should be about it forn arranger land.... Ketron is still trying to get the Audya to where it belongs, Korg is still very happy with the PA3X... and i don't see them releasing a PRO version or a rack version any time soon.
The software arrangers are too small to give it a try at the MEsse.
Wersi hasn't been to the Messe in many years, While Bohm and Orla are not doing anything sensational.
GEM has died.. as well as Technics.
Maybe Casio and Borelli are the ones with the surprises, which says more about the state of current Arrangers then about the Musik messe...
And i don't see any newcommers enter the Arranger Market either....
So if there ought to be something sensational and new at the Messe, it can only be Roland.... And most people will disagree with me on that too....
So the Messe might be just as bad for keyboards in general as the NAMM was..

Roland Bk5 will be the only arranger they push now.
