Thats just it James, I use the PA2x AS an arranger for about 10-15% of what I do.

Others have said I have this "passion" for arrangers, but is not for arrangers per se, more for the total integration of functionality.

I am really over the "sameness" of style patterns. Even if a style is tweaked as a few of mine are, it is still the same pattern everytime you play it...I rarely if ever, use more than two variations on any song that I use the arranger for.

For example, and I really do not like talking about myself much, but in all my playing career, I doubt I have EVER either played a song the exact same way, or played the same solo twice.

Songs are in the same format as in the layout, but my playing is always different.

In fact I have just given up a trad 50/60's R+R dance band because it was too strict. I was not even allowed to use an organ, ONLY piano. Because the band leader reckoned there were no organs in 50's rock+ roll dance tunes...whether thats true or not I didn't really care, but for me they went into the same category as playing for old time dances. I won't do those anymore either LOL.

I probably really should not even be on an arranger forum as I play it so little in that format.

Cool to know the setups can be that quick and simple...
