Thanks, Lee.

It helps if you don't make sweeping comments like that one without qualifying exactly what you are referring to... There are some pretty touchy people on this forum!

You know, to a large extent, I honestly believe that most people pick their choice of arranger for whether the ROM styles suit the genres of music they tend to play, rather than for any particular sound or OS features. The T3 is a VERY good arranger, but without those Latin styles nailed, for you it's not very good. For someone else that plays a lot of jazz, for instance, it might be the best thing ever. Same arranger... two different viewpoints.

I really think that an awful lot of the forum rancor would die down if only people were more specific about WHY they like or hate something. It's a lot harder to get worked up if someone says 'the T3 Latin styles aren't very accurate' rather than 'the T3 styles suck!' We all use our arrangers differently. It helps to tell everyone HOW you use an arranger, and what you use it for, who you primarily play to, what volume, etc., then when you criticize a particular aspect of anything - arranger, PA equipment, whatever, members can decide if the comment relates to how THEY play and work, rather than assuming you are attacking THEIR pet system...

JMO...
