put aside the additional features such as MP3 and audio playback from the MS and lets compare it to a Roland E80/G70, Korg PA, yamaha Tyros.
lets classify them all as 100% arrangers just for this argument...
a T2/PA800/E80 each have full blown style creation from scratch as well as editing of existing styles and sounds...
what additional (if any) editing features does the MS have that one of these arrangers cannot do in order to produce a 'better' or more customized style / backing rhythm??
I am quite positive that most OMB artists on this forum are using mainly the factory styles for their backing but I highly doubt they are being left unedited in some form or way, that is becuase all TOTL arrangers have such extensive editing/creation capabilities...
the point i am trying to make here is i am not "trashing" the MS in any way, but the vibe i am getting is that you guys seem to talk about the T2, G70, E80, PA800 as if they were 'weak' arrangers or incompetent for live gigging over the MS...
The MS has awesome features and i am sure there are MUCH MUCH more... but in terms of being an arranger, what can it do more than our TOTL arrangers of today??
Well if we are going to use that type of apples to oranges logic, what does the Tyros 2 have over the PSR 3000 in terms of editing arranger features.
