SK880user,

Good going. I'm sure you showed those smart mouthed listeners a thing or two with 'all' of your fingers flying

You hit on exactly my point! I really hate it when people assume that technology has replaced any need for musicianship skills.

What the technology does is provide keyboard musicians with 'more options' like the ability to make live spontaneous changes similar to playing with a live band: spontaneous drum fills, key modulation, ability to throw in chord substitutions, style changes, and adding an extra chorus if the audience is feeling pumped, etc. The technology does "NOT" replace the keyboard skills needed to create professional level music. Yes, one feature of the arranger keyboard allows players of limited keyboard skills (one finger chord) to produce acceptable music, but the higher level of musicianship you possess, the better (and more professional) you will sound. There really IS a difference!

The beauty of the arranger keyboard is that it gives keyboard players of "all" levels the opportunity to make music.

Make music and be happy,
