Anyone know where I can hear sound samples of this thing?
I guess this brings up a point I have never understood. How is composing a song using arpeggiated drums and bass lines on a snyth different from using the auto-accomp drums and bass (without the other parts)? All I really need is auto drums and bass to help me start my song. I orchestrate all the other parts myself. It just seems the style of the arranger makes more sense intuitively from a musical form standpoint (intro, main, fill, end, etc.). The snyth workstations may be able to create the same thing but you're left with a blank palette in the sequencer as the Korg mentions. I think the best songwriting from me comes with a little help from the back-up band department, them my ideas flow better. I guess it's up to how each person works. I jsut would prefer the style of the arranger included with synthy arp type things like the TRITON can do. I'm not talking about basic fingered arps I can play myself into the style creator of an arranger, but the types that you can't play. But also needing good realistic instrument sounds, I find the voices on arrangers tend to be better than on synths.
I guess to do what I want to do I have to buy an arranger and a synth.
Show me the money....
