Squeak,

Your so right.. I wish the manufacturers would, especially Yamaha, would allow for more create style creation within their top arrangers. For me personally, the audience and the dance floor drives what I play. Some of the newer Alternative Rock and Hard rock and some hip hop is just not danceable. Therefore, It won't be played unless you are doing a show or concert.

With that said, we need an arranger keyboard that can adapt and be flexible enough to create and play any genre according to the player's needs instead of his location and wallet size. I would love to see a feature whereby you feed a midi file to the arranger style section and the keyboard then makes many variations; similar to the cover function on some keyboard but more powerful.
