I only have money enough for ONE keyboard right now. I want to add some .. spontaneity to my stage show and have recently been considering an arranger. With it I will have the option of just using it as a keyboard or use it's arranging capabilities and/or use it to play (and play my guitar and sing along with) MIDI sequences.
Am I right about this??
I'm leaning towards the PA80 it seems to have all the sounds of the triton (though no sampling) and also do other things and for a cheaper price!
I have a simple but important Q about it though. Can I send a separate click out to a drummer (let's say in his headphones)?
I would NOT want this click to go out of the main L/R outputs because they would be going to the main speakers.
So does this unit have more than just a main L/R output?
This little feature seems to be on some of the more "workstation" keyboards out there.
PART 2: I also want to use this arranger in my home studio where I put my sequences together for work and compose for both work and my art. I'll be using CakwalkProAudio 9 and Gigasampler and a few other soft/hardware items.
Can these arrangers do the same work of a workstation in the studio like say a Roland XP-80 or a Yamaha Motif??
If so I can get some versatile performance out of one in both a live or studio environment.
