My guess is that fully half don't even like it (lost forever in a musical tine warp).

My point is, that even though I would personally rather listen to 5 miniutes of this guy than 24 hours of all the usual Korg, Yammy, Wersi, Ketron, MS, and Roland demonstrators, it probably isn't true for everybody. Perhaps we could get, oh let's say, Tony Hughes, to give us his assessment of this demo.

This guy is simply showing what can be done on an arranger once you take the blinkers off.... thats all. He has done nothing in the demo that could not have been done 10 years ago on practically any arranger. He could do another impromptu demo in anotehr style instantly or programme hisown styles and blow you away just as readily. Despite what others might genuinely believe todays arrangers have almost limitless capabilities and are only limited by the imaginations of the players using them.

You will never see a workstation that could be used so seamlessly in a self contained performance like that without extensive pre programming and sets ups just for one performance. With an arranger you can simply jump from style and create and improvise on the fly. Thats why i pick an arranger over a traditional workstation everytime.Now if the yamaha motif were to borrow some iodeas from their tyros rannge or vice versa i would by a tyros 5 in a heart beat
