Is there anyone up to date with the latest software arrangers?

Currently there are 4 software arrangers, where Q-ranger only works on the Lionstracs groove and Varranger and LiveArranger only work in combination with the Ketron SD2... which in fact makes them all hardware dependant and not real software arrangers anymore

So that leaves live-styler, from which i own a previous version. The program itselves was actually quite good, but getting good sounds for the styles was way to timeconsuming back then.

Now the Live-Styler is available with LS-T2 emulation and LS-SD emulation http://www.live-styler.de/home/de/?Shop These styles actually sound quite okay Sound examples

I was wondering if these are the samples Norbert borrowed from Lionstracs, or are these totally new samples created by himself or someone helping him out?

I think 220 uero with more then 2000 high quallity sounds and almost 50000 styles including a hard drive and delivery..


Anyone experience with Varranger, and does it work better then Live-Arranger? And does it still require the SD2?
