On an arranger, you hit the fill button, it IMMEDIATELY drops into the fill, still in time with itself. Unless I have heard wrong, there's nothing that can do this on a Motif.

AFAIK, you also can't change inversions on bass and keyboard parts. Root only (unless the arp is written as an inversion), I believe.

Want to remind yourself how arrangers used to be, right when they first came out? Get the latest WS's...


yeah, I have to agree. No matter how many great synth workstation there are, like Yamaha Motif and Roland Juno G, I still want an arranger, and it has to be a Yamaha because it's the only one that has a 'chord track'. Technics keyboards had that too.

Also, using different chord inversions to me is essential.

Thanks for the clarifications,I'll stick to arrangers....the Motif is a great instrument but for composing a full arrangement quickly to me nothing beats an arranger.
