Let's not forget that when you mention an arranger to a working pro musician they cringe! & that's why you don't see them on major acts stages, all you see are Fanthom, Motif, Triton, etc, etc, ....because the workstation lets you create track by track, and with combi, prog, & arpeggiators, smf, mp3,& create songs the way YOU want them to sound ...not the typical REPETIOUN of the style parts on arranger KB...like bass lines, drums, and many style parts...then you can play on top using the best sounds there is. All the complaint you constantly read about on here about what arrangers DON'T have can be done with a good workstation if you know how or have the will to learn..is it fun? YES,.....is it intimidating at first? YES....but like anything else once you get into it it will get easier and easier and more gratifying each time you play it...I also think you will be proud of yourself also once you start to be a music "CREATOR" vs a "style operator"......these new workstations, Mo xf, Kronos, Jupiter, etc,.. are becoming more & more exciting with so many great features as arrangers dwindle down year after year...the mighty workstation will rise to the occasion every time.
