I could have given an example of how a specially tailored system such as mine can work really well in a studio or in high end book stores, night clubs, etc. For these applications I would use:

High quality Drum kits (DFH, Colossus and other GM Kits)
Scarbee Bass
Bosendorfer or PMI Pianos
NI B4II Organ
Antares vocal harmonizer
Yamaha styles edited to suit
Live - Styler or OMB installed to suit

With a system like this you can play for hours without you or your audience becoming bored. It works .... try it. It sounds so good .... it is so reliable .... it is so easy to use .... it is so easy to setup and tear down (mark cables and layout in ribbons). It works for me!!!

Then as Jos points out, you can go 180 degrees in the opposite direction and setup an extremely economical/afforable good sounding software arranger system.

I am very grateful to Jos & Norbert for all their support to the world of music. They were and are at the cutting edge of things yet to come.
