One's home, one stays in the case Life is good!

The thing about the CS is that I always considered it the EASIEST solution to the problem. Either finding an appropriate sequence for a song (for the 'entertainers') or actually making one, either from scratch or from arranger play, seems MUCH more work than simply hitting REC while you play the head, and hitting PLAY when you needed to use both hands...

Making a sequence, especially back then when there weren't any onboard sequencers with Marker capability always left you with that 'play once and never deviate' system, so alien to arranger users who can go anywhere, play and medley anything at the drop of a hat...

I happen to feel that probably at least 50% of ANY arranger's features are probably unused or underused by most players. Roland simply made the mistake of actually LISTENING to their idiot customer base, rather than sticking doggedly to what they KNEW was a unique and game changing feature...

After all, they stuck doggedly to MANY idiotic 'features' LONG after other keyboards moved on... only one drum track, no multipads, un-synched SMF and arranger play, no sampler, no Mega or SA voices

Why they chose the CS to axe while keeping these things eludes me!
