Hi Frank,
first time I've been without an arranger keyboard for at least 15 years. I've got OMB though, and it'll keep me busy.

I do have the Alive software, but I'm a bit concerned that I'll get too wrapped up in collecting samples etc and end up not playing music again. ( I have a bad habit of getting side tracked). Down the track when I have more spare time I hope to get more involved.

I want something a bit more permanent to use with omb styles. May do a bit more experimenting with Hypercanvas. Forgot I could edit the drum tracks fairly easily with omb's track conversion facility. Actually maybe doing the synergi drums that way may improve the overall mix also. The sampled drums tend to be too full on, not quite used to them, they seem to drown each other out.

I checked out the MU15 . Didn't realize it only had 32 note polyphony. I think I will stick to the software solution, I'm just going through
" no arranger keyboards left " withdrawl symptoms haahaa.

As for your advice, it's most appreciated. Software solutions have cost me far less money than 3 top end arrangers ( haahaa)

best wishes
Rikki
