somehow connected to what you're saying guys... i wonder how come there was no "full-package" coming from OMB or LiveStyler so far? i mean software with a dedicated hardware, made into an arranger form, or as a module.
all they need is a plastic box, a 12" touch screen, and some parts inside! and they would be far ahead (or at least there are serious chances) of traditional arranger makers.
