The role of the organ in the development of of contemporary instruments deserves more research. The fascination with the organ as a sound generator seems to be behind the phenomenal success in electronic instruments that Roland have had. The autobiography of Ikutaro Kakehashi makes explicit his interest in the organ and, with that in mind, it makes Roland's choice of an accordion as a digital synthesizer (Roland V-accordion) somewhat clearer. They are reed instruments after all, cousins to the wonderful clarinet.

I just reread that and I'm not sure that I can assert 'seems to be behind the phenomenal success in electronic instruments that Roland have had' but it sounded good at the time. Let's just say that there are connections yet to be understood.
