Keeping an eye on that sweet YC73, seems they didn't stop putting more icing and sprinkles on it. Yummy

It would be nice if Yamaha released an 88-key Montage successor that weighed about 40-lbs.

Better Filters, better mono behavior, VA synth section, etc.

I think they ran out of "M" words to name their flagship workstation. Although they don't command as much of an audience in that market segment because everyone sold their soul to get a Korg Kronos in the last few years. Now they're trying to compete with Nord in the stage piano segment...And invented the YC series because they needed to do something about the surplus of parts they had because they took too long to release their Reface line.
