I hope this does not offend any one, but in a sense when we use and arranger to its fullest potential out of the box, we are actually giving the impression that there is a band playing when we know it is just one person. And unless you create your own styles, tweak your sounds and do other creative and pre performance techniques, every thing was done for us.

With a workstation, most persons that I know of sequence a song with their original twist to it. They leave one track open for playing on live.

Again, I am not knocking arranger players because I am one. And I love arrangers

Depending on how they are used, I think you can get the same amount of musical value from both workstations and arrangers.
