MarcK, I agree with you. What you say here has been stated MANY times before. I too wish this board included much MORE discussion about arranger keyboard playing techniques/tips and other arranger 'music making' related topics, but it appears that more people here prefer comparing the latest arranger keyboard models/features. I had hoped that Notlos' excellent summer song demos & topic thread entitled "Summer Class" would take us in this direction but then (disappointedly) there seemed to be very little interest(?) as witnessed by the relatively few posting replies to his thread. I too enjoy reading about the latest gear, but a new keyboard won't make you a better arranager KB musician, this can only be achieved thru the "time" you devote to improving your keyboard playing skills.
