Ditto. I've been advocating this SAME thing for a LONG time here as well.

RIGHT again. No expensive 'top of the line' keyboard with every bell and whistle can ever replace what can ONLY result from the years of hard work (dues we gotta pay) to develop the keyboard chops and the creative music vision required of a truly competent musician, don't EVER get fooled into thinking that. Don't lose sight of the fact that even though lot's of short cuts abound, that the heart and soul of our music has got to come from us, not the arranger.
I believe as performing arranger keyboardists, that we should never rest on our laurels and just expect the arranger's features to fill in for our weakness, but instead, work to further our musicianship skills (continued ear training, music theory, polishing our keyboard chops, vocal exercises, expanding our repetoire, & also playing & learning from preferably BETTER accomplished musicians than ourselves). In addition to rasing the level of professionalism of our arranger keyboard performance, we might finally gain the respect of our non-arranger keyboard musician peers out there as well, and on a $1,200 PSR2000 keyboard to boot.
