Diki said "But WS's have moved on radically from where they started, and arrangers, to be honest, haven't. WS's of today are quite capable of sounding like today (because that's what much of the hits were MADE on!) but they still don't have a fraction of the arrangers' ease of use, live.
But arrangers are still mired in the roots of mom and pop's living room organ, sound and style-wise, and are rapidly becoming irrelevant to younger players, especially here in the US. "


I had a conversation with friends over at musicplayer.com and talked about workstations. The general comment is none of the big three are doing much of anything with bringing out something new in a work station that is not born from the previous workstation. Yamaha has a relationship with Steinberg ( they own it) and there are strides from that end.

But Ketron's Audya is something new in the arranger market and everyone seems to agree with that the keyboard sounds amazing. Let's hope that the refinements will come out and we can all talk about music production.

I know that I could not record with a traditional workstation the way I have recorded with the SD1.

I will be very interested in a module or 61 note Audya for home use. My Church is getting money together for the 76 note Audya.
