The reality today is totally different...
the arranger keyboard market is less than the 3% of the whole sales worldwide.
For this reason the Roland stopped to develope on new TOTL arranger keyboard, to much cost without return back money.
Just look around how many synth keyboards and workstation models are available and then you can count on the first hand finger the TOP arranger keyboards available.
I can say that because I get the TRUE test on my MS products too.
The last MS OS available is the Kubuntu OS 3.0, with the multiple ASIO host features and some new others features: MS User that have download this new OS on the last weeks: 265 Upgrade 3.0 download.
then I have released the new OS 3.1, totally the SAME OS as before BUT that include the commercial windows Live styler OS.
5 Upgrade 3.1 download with the Live styler!
I have invested a LOT of money for the Live styler integration and we get returned less that 150 euro of license, that we have to return to Norbert..
I have then sent one email request to this all 260 MS user that have already update to OS 3.0 and asked why they will not have the Live styler too.
about all replyed me that are NOT interested on Yamaha styles and live styler engine and wil NOT play the license at all.
they want have the MS ONLY for the multiple asio host features and for the all sounds like a true workstation.
So, this is another probe to better stopping the cotinue developement on styles engine BUT only on workstatio features, because nobody will use the MS for styles player.
