Diki, I am not really UPSET at anything.. But I do get a bit miffed when sweeping generalisations are made which seem to encompass everyone on SZ (but on the other hand, I probably overreacted because you more than likely didn't intend it that way)...

I am the first to bitch about a keyboard if I think its lacking in certain areas, and I already have done so on this and other forums...

I suppose if I HAD to classify myself it would be as an advanced player (over 25 years live performing, bands, duos and solo, theory to grade 5 [A.M.E.B.Australia], national championships when I was a kid) so I figure I know a bit about playing, and I am only too aware of the shortcomings of the arranger boards...

I reckon they are a LONG way short of where they should be, considering the other offerings of the big three, pathetic really!!

I personally think the chord sequencer would have been just about THE most important tool on an arranger board..
Sadly I never got to try it out for myself.

I owned the PA1x before the PA2x, and really, apart from losing a few unusable TC Helicon settings, I cannot think of anything else they have dropped, only added to it.

Even the fills issue stayed pretty much the same, so it wasn't dropped, but they sure could IMPROVE them!!!

My apologies, truly, if I came across too critical, it was not intended.. I just get tired of being lumped in with other people..

I guess a lot of that is my fault as I don't really speak much about what I do or where I am playing, so how are people supposed to know where you are at.

I hope that explains a little bit about my previous post, and where my head is at on this issue.

Sorry if I rambled a bit.
