Squeak, can you email me an example[MP3]of a Hip Hop/R and B/Funk..that you believe can't be done on an arranger..I would like to give it a shot on the G1000...to see why you think it can't be done..
Especially if you have a sequence originating from a Triton or Motif..even a Fantom...
I think I could duplicate any sound from the forementioned synths..

I took this challenge with a Korg i30 owner a few years ago[a cha cha pattern with a rhodes piano and a fingered bass]. He couldn't pick out the i30 from the G1000..

Give it a shot ..send me a short MP3.
I will try and get the same feel[not duplicate it..Hip Hop is not my type of music, so I can't take too much..maybe R and B or Funk..].

I will record a small MP3 and email it back to you..

Just an experiment..one of us will be right..
