12928881, "everyone" is pretty accurate

"Everyone" is only slightly exaggerated.

Do you know how I know this? Because this is one industry where the one true republican god, The Market, is almost always correct because margins are paper thin and they can't really afford to fall behind mass market trends.

Right now, The Market is definitively catering to a generally software based set of consumers. Even the steadfast and resolute "Big Three" keyboard companies, Korg, Roland, and Yamaha are becoming increasingly integrated with computer based setups with their flagships.

There a few companies catering to the analog fringes, but "Everyone" is actually pretty accurate even if (hell, especially when) used in a general sense.

You saw the Akai MPC line, right? You said it was sad. Do you think they'd be going in that direction if there were any real money staying in the MPC 2K/3K/60 lane? When that was their bread and butter for a couple decades?

Nah
