Yeah I think they do. The upper synths like the Tritons and Motif's have preset patterns (but not in the way an arranger works). They don't have dedicated fills/intros/endings, ect. They also do not operate like an arranger and utilize pattern chaining.

I think it would be great to buy a keyboard that had good sounds (with good voice editing) minimal 64 note poly, 16 track sequencing (real sequencing too, and fully editable), and also user slots for creating custom styles. Basically an arranger keyboard the replaces the 100's of preset styles with an empty bank for creating user styles. Now that I think about it isn't there an arranger or two out there that let you wipe out the internal preset styles and the ability to replace them all?
