And why are we paying ANY attention to marketing buzzwords like 'Workstation'?

A word is only as good as it's contemporary usage. There isn't a SINGLE non-software arranger out there that is, in the modern sense of the word, a 'workstation'. Modern WS's ALL have multiple arpeggiators, knobs for controlling the patches, DAW functions, audio loop facilities, extremely flexible patch editing and keyboard layout abilities. Virtually NONE of which are in ANYTHING arranger based.

It's like saying that in the 20's, a 'race car' was anything that could go over 50 miles an hour, so anything today that can go that fast is a 'race car'. There's a lot of dump trucks out there I wouldn't call a 'race car'... Would you?

Let's just call a spade a spade, and leave it to the marketing directors to use the words 'manually operated earth excavator'... OK?
