Again! Everyone has their own opinion on what may be a pro arranger. I don't use arrangers, so I can't say much when it comes to ease of use and features, but I can say that the keys and look of the 3000 says "toy" to me. The sounds aren't that geat either, "I ony heard it thru it's own speakers" The Korg arrangers have pro sounds in my opinion very close to the Triton "A pro keyboard". In regards to the statement that was made about if the 3000 is not a pro arranger, why do us pros use it. Well let me just say that a friend of mine plays out with a casio and always busy making good money, so my response to that is: everyone has their own opinion to which arrangers/keyboards are pro, and audiences also have an opinion to who is a PRO, really depends who you are playing for and how much you want to invest. Same with a car. A yugo will take you to the same place a Rolls Royce will and it's cheaper on gas. Personally as a Pro I want a pro quality keyboard to match my pofessional capabilites as a performer.
