Record it into your arranger's sequencer. Now have a listen. OK, now mute the solo track, and play another solo over the top of the accompaniment, and record THAT (on another track if you can). Now listen to both solos one after the other. Listen to how many times you use the bender when you would have been using your left hand to play a chord in the second version. I guarantee it is a LOT. Most instruments that bend and scoop a lot almost inevitably do it at chord boundaries (amongst other times!), EXACTLY the time you would NOT be able to do it in arranger play.
Im not even going to bother getting into another Cat fight with you, all i know is, i play alot of dance music and use the pitch bend wheel a hell of a lot and i always use arranger mode.
when u hit a sustained chord with your left hand and a note with your right hand, there is enough time to move your left hand over to the pitch bend wheel and modulate the voice that your right finger is still holding down...
if YOU cant do it, that doesnt mean others cant...
