The reason i purchased an arranger keyboard as opposed to a dedicated workstation is that i wanted an instrument that was adaptable to any situation as i am not specifically a OMB musician. A workstation can be a great studio instrument but very restricted as a live instrument if other liv musicians are thin on the ground. But an aranger is adaptable to both studio and live work and therefore has a very obvious advantage over a workstation. Thats why a sampler included in an arranger was truly an inspired development because for those occasions where i want to play piano to accompany a soloist in church for example , i want the best piano i can find. I dont play in arranger style for those occasions and so the piano tone is very important. Just because i own an arranger keyboard, it does not mean that i will exclusively play arranger style.
