Pro,
"Arranger keyboards will never impress snobby keyboard salesman who's commission comes from big-ticket keyboards"

They make more commission on a 9000 @ $3000, then they do on a Motif at $1699.

This entire thing about arranger vs workstation not only irritates but bores me. The judgement by all should come from the end product.....the music, not the vehicle that got one there.

Whoever it was a few posts back that said they've heard better tunes often done on an arranger on the net than a workstation is correct. I've heard some pretty lousy workstation snobs music too.

The thing that really irritates me about this snobbery is this.....if a person uses a back up band to do a tune, it really in my mind is zero difference from us using arrangers. That is our back up band, bought and paid for. If a "workie" sequences in back up tracks, then hits the play button, again in my mind it is zero difference from us using an arranger.

If these snob idiots think it is somehow cheating.... really? Did they actually learn to play a sax or guitar or strings they just sequenced in. Of course not. Do they use the arppegiator, then how is that not cheating? Do they use combis and the dual arps? Those are zero difference from auto accmp.

These anal retentive snobs, including music stores, players, corporations that promote these as toys need to get their heads out of their a** It's about the music and the end result.

The final laugh to me is this...if they are such hotshot Pro players.....how come they're working for chump wages kissin' customers butts in a music store?
that's my two E bucks worth,
Terry
