At this price point, I really don't see it as a 'performer's' arranger. Most performers can afford something more full featured.

There's a LOT of karaoke wannabe's, 'home' one finger players, and kids that are likely to want the center cancel more than a detailed editing kit, mind you...

I think I am starting to look at this as a candidate for emergency backup for a REAL arranger, a sling in the back of the car just in case you get into a jamming situation toy (if it got stolen, It wouldn't be the end of the world), and a MIDI module with great percussion and Sonic Cell (I wish it didn't abbreviate to the same as the Sound Canvas!) sounds for only a hundred dollars more than a Sonic Cell itself.

In a soft bag, I could bicycle around with this!

But expecting the full monty at this price point (but it's only $895! ) just seems a bit wishful. What it DOES do, it does pretty well, it's keybed is the equal of Yamaha arrangers FAR more expensive, so at least it doesn't FEEL like a toy, even if it cost barely more than one!

Before you slam it, try it... I wasn't expecting much. I found far more than I bargained for.
