There were a couple of justified replies there, but as a whole, no one has addressed the main point in that there's nothing NEW in the arranger scene and really, no one came up with a valued argument.
Most of the features mentioned above, are throw me downs from workstations. And I guess my point AGAIN is, put arranger features into a workstation. Obviously there is still a market for toy keyboards like the PSR1500, PA50 etc. These would be better left as 'arrangers', while workstations should appeal to the high end of a SINGLE high-end pro synth/arranger user market.
One other main point raised above is the so called improved quality of sounds. It just goes to show you how 'bad' the sounds were in the first place.
Am I understanding this right, that everyone is telling me here that they WOULDN'T LIKE TO HAVE A MOTIF AND TYROS AS ONE, OR A TRITON AND 1X, G70 AND FANTOM?
