the only problem with arrangers breaking into the mainstream US youth market is the lack of imagination of the users and the deliberate marketing separation by the manufacturers of work stations and arrangers. An arranger IS A WORKSTATION no ifs or buts. The tool is just a tool. If i wanted to use my arranger as a straight up workstation i can and i will prove it.

Below is a link to one of my favourite up and coming RnB/HipHop artists . Guy by the name Khoa le.

I am going to put my money where my mouth is. I dont have time to sample the instruments that he is using and I dont currently have a recording studio. I will reproduce as close to as possible the groove that he created entirely on my PA1X with the sounds i have onboard and the bits and pieces i have picked up along the way . I have a couple of engagements to prepare for over the next week and my daughter is staying with me this weekend ( my time is her time) so i will post something up hopefully by the end of next week. This is not to prove anything other than the point that an arranger (in this case the PA1X but the same could be done with the T1,2,or 3) can be used as a straight up Workstation.
