Exactly.  Programmer-musicians must focus on very particular niches, 
writing software that would not be a one-stop-do-all kind of thing, but to 
address a particular need of a particular audience.

One example is to come up with a software that is tailored  for 
professional keyboardists who could throw in a live concert using keyboards 
and computers, and not just for the general type of musical arranger that 
just "uses" the keyboard to compose songs.

Best Regards,

Carlo
