Yeah I totally agree...I've had a "used" TRITON EXTREME 76 on layaway at GUITAR CENTER for 3 weeks now....at $900...was just kicking around the idea of an ARRANGER

Last night they set it up for me and it just blew me away...I can just get a dedicated drum machine for fills/intros etc...But i can copy all the drum patterns to the sequencer...I THINK THE SOUNDS ARE AWESOME INCLUDING PIANOS...

The ARRANGERS accompaniment I wouldn't utilize as well a several other functions...

I felt the extreme 76 "ACTION" felt much better action wise than the ROLAND FANTOM 61...I CAN GET A NEW ONE OF THOSE FOR $1300 (floor model only)

But I felt the extreme 76 was better in so many ways...touchscreen and all the COMBI SOUNDS...TOUGH CALL THOUGH AND IT IS NEW

The Fantom may have a drum machine on board which I'm waiting for Roland to open to confirm...

But I agree I need a workstation...But I did investigate the ARRANGER avenue pretty thoroughly...Not quite for me for my ONLY board...

Now USED 76 KEY TRITON EXTREME $900 or "NEW" floor model "FANTOM 61" for $1300???

Thanks
