Hi Guys,
In summer 2007, I've been travelling in many italien cities. As we konw the Italiens are very fund of One Man Band(OMB) performance in varouis clubs and Piano bars. I've realized that non of these places performed by Keyboard arrangers but by kind of Midi File player/Karaoke as playback and accompanied by a Digital Piano or Synthesizer. What happened to the Arrangers-Keyboards ? Do they have any market anymore ? Why Korg & Roland and Yamaha create 5000 bucks Arranger Keyboards when the professional use is reduced so much ? Are Arranger keybords once capable to create and performe the styles exactly as a midi file sounds with all details within the midi-songs ? That means more Creativity and control on your performance rather than playback midi-files! Many thanks in advance for your response !
