Arrangers/Organs are designed to allow the performer easy set up and operation, with a logical easy to use interface. (If they wanted computer set-ups they would use a computer)
The idea of an Open Arranger/Organ is to give it the capabilities of a computer system, but as far as the user is concerned; the computer is invisible. (Just like a hardware board)
If you’re going for the Workstation/computer market then the Lionstracs approach is fine, but it is not for Arranger/Organ play.
Thumbs up Workstation,
Thumbs down Arranger/Organ

Hello Bill
The Main Arranger interface will remain the same like before, simple and with the styles patch selector.
Qranger will be the ONLY background arranger player and audio-midi editor.
Only when we recall EDIT key from one style, the Qranger will in focus and then we are able to edit all what we like.
Normally users don't have to open it, they have only to play the styles like a standard embedded keyboards.
The Qranger tool will be used from the styles developers, because they will have one Timeline sequencer system, like Cubase, cakewalk and so on...
All the styles developer will use always one Timeline SEQ for editing the midifiles.
Try yourself IF you can compose one good latino styles under the simple embedded keyboard editor and then let us know IF you really need the help of one PC SEQ.
Same is for the all Demo Song that you will find in one new keyboards, do you think that the manufacture have programmed the demo songs under the keyboard seq??
Try to use the PA800 and PAX2 ( just tested too) and let me know IF you can record one similar demo song how they have made...Impossible!
cheers
Enjoy what you play
