Maybe I missed it, but I think it also needs a way to have it progress through the song's REGULAR structure if you don't alter it. Currently it seems to loop each section endlessly and it's up to you to trigger the sections correctly (again, probably

Nice... sort of Ableton Live on an arranger..! I think there's one small problem. Let's say you've got a couple of hundred songs to choose from (live) with up to 22 Marker points in each 😱. Maybe you can do better, but I honestly doubt I'd be abl

Nice to hear back from you, Russ. The view from the top certainly looks different from down here in the trenches! I've always thought of the music 'industry' (as opposed to the 'art') as a pyramid. For every one who reaches the peak, there needs to

Re: The rising popularity of AI generated music by captain Russ @ Yesterday at 11:56 AM

That's right, Diki. I remember when disco was all over the place. Lots of musicians making their living playing live were working themselves into a frazzle. This was about 1980, I think. While the kind of jobs available changed, there were still opp

Hi Gunnar, Yes, I do remember the Roland E-15 and E-20 Intelligent Arrangers. Keyboard Magazine published a glowing review on the Roland E-20. They said it took a flame thrower to get their hands off this additive toy. I purchased the Roland Pro-E

I used to lug a B3 and 147 around back in the day, but holy hell, not at 70! 😱 If weight didn't enter into it for the rest of the world, they wouldn't make lightweight arrangers! The US market for them is pretty slim these days (I honestly don't
