After playing my Yammie PSR3000 for about 2 years it has dawned on me I spend hours and hours auditioning styles to match up with songs. I am very picky about the styles I use and it seems to get worse as time goes on. So, what do all of you do with your arrangers? Are you also a slave to the "find the best style" addction or do you use just a few genre specific styles for all your gigs?

If you were going to replace your arranger with another keyboard for gigs what would it be - a motif perhaps?

If I wanted to experiment with something other than an arranger what would be a good place to start? The question always comes up what can you afford- well I would want to buy a very good keyboard that is gig friendly but not necessarily the TOTL model.

What, in your opinion, are the pros and cons of the non-arranger keyboards as compared to the arrangers? Again - think of gigging.

Just wondering about all of this.
