I do not disagree that fully based sampling systems can produce fantastic results, I use them and also rack mounted samplers and with enough effort, anything can just about be replicated to extraordinary levels of realism. However this is not the point of an arranger keyboard! People who buy arranger keyboards want to switch on, press a button and play the thing, not sit down at a computer loading samples and fiddling around for hours. Arrangers provide immediate access to inner creativity, they inspire with instant backings and now providing ever more realistic voices. Of course there are systems available that can produce even better sounds, but we are talking a portable keyboard which you can take anywhere, switch on and play it straight away!
