Nedim is on a crusade (again ).

What he fails to acknowledge about the MIDI routing issue is, I doubt more than 1% of all arranger users actually seriously MIDI their arranger up to anything else to gig. You see, that's the whole POINT of an arranger. Do it ALL in one box.

What else he constantly fails to acknowledge is, there are PLENTY of other keyboards that DO do what he wants. They are called Workstations What THEY don't do is be a decent arranger. I wonder if he spends much time over at the Motifator forum, bitching about the fact that the XS isn't REALLY an arranger? Probably not, as he would be laughed out of there...

As we should do here for his insistence about trivial things, while ignoring strengths it has, or MUSICAL weaknesses that affect how it works for the other 99% of arranger users other than him. Maybe when ALL arrangers OTHER than the Audya have comprehensive MIDI routing, detail patch editing, full featured samplers and detail style editors on board (and they have caught up to the Audya's audio loop capability), then he MIGHT have a case for the whining he is doing now.

But you sure don't hear him whining about the fact that the PA2Xpro can't do streaming audio loops...
