Arranger makers are really doing their best I think to make these keyboards sound as live as possible. However, one drawback to that is it doesn't in any way help the negative stereotype on arrangers and those who play them.

Arrangers today have amazing voices.., and the guitar and bass tracks within styles really stand out (not to forget the killer drums on some arrangers too). Using the original Tyros compared to the Tyros 3 for example.., shows this move forward on Yamaha's end just over a few years through ONE model. It just may get to the point of being "too real"... (if that makes any sense). Yamaha's SA voices really stand out.., Korg has brought this level to the PA series.., Roland introduced the guitar mode. With the increasing realism.., it may get harder to convince the crowd you're actually playing.
