[quote=spalding1968]i dont know if you have tried to create a track from scracth DNJ on your arranger . The clip you posted of the Kronos can be reproduced on just about any arranger if you know how to programme and edit sounds and use your sequencer. The sounds used in the clip was a combination of strings , horns and a synth sweep pad, and a bog standard rock drum kit and a pizzacato sound. All of these are on any MOTL arranger including your psr910 (if you still have it. All you would need to know is how to edit the attack on the strings and the velocity on the horns to create that 'swell' effect and asign the resonance or brightness of the synthpad to your pitch bend wheel or joystick (on the Korg). There was absolutely nothing in that particular clip that even ythe lowliest arranger couldnt do ...if you know how to use the instrument beyond pressing the start and stop button.

As for original content. thats simply down to the skill of the musician and if you cant produce original tracjks and accompaniment on your arranger then you definately wont be able to do it on any workstation. Dont be fooled by the demo.

Most pros dont know half of what an arranger is capable of or they would most likely own one. [/quot




You are right on the money...the sequencer on good arrangers is more than capable to finish the task...There is no better all around instrument than a top model arranger keyboard...Features and sound wise, they take no backseat to any workstation only keyboard...

And I agree it takes a skill level to make useable sequences on a workstation...and if you have that skill...you can do it on an arranger with better results...and less time spent on repetive sequencing (drums etc)...The variety and ease of insert effects on the arranger is another advantage....Pros that put their noses in the air when they see an arranger...are the "biggest losers"...

Another point arppegiators do not compare to multiple tracks within an arranger style..they are completely different...
