Dear Alone&Forsaken;

I agree with your statements, but I think some of your answer span various KB groups. The original question was have "arranger Kbs" reached their technological limits. The current software that you mentioned 24 bit sampled, waves etc.. are not available on majority of arrangers. ( I can only think of one that uses wave samples). They are used in studio with a computer, or in soft sythn set-ups and I suppose that is why this thread changed into the software vs. hardware( meaning non-upgradeble arrangers) debate. My view is that independant software companies ( Kontak, giga samples,ampli-tube etc..) who produces sound samples are far superior then what is available on arrangers. SO, the next natural progression is, why can't a keyboard company come up with a modular arrangers, or come up with a midi-controlable KB with arranger template set-up, that can be loaded with whatever sound tables & software one chooses?

PS--I agree 100% we companies rehashing old wavetables!!!
