Hi Spalding

1st point, I have been using Midi & sequencing since the middle 80s (Pretty much since Midi came out) and I can assure you producing a sequence then was way more difficult than now (But it gave a great grounding), by the early 90s I had left the organ/arranger keyboards behind (They were not developing fast enough for me, Not even the Wersi & Bohm) and went over to a full computer based play/music production system (Still have a lot of it, but more modern) and also embraced VST when they came out in the middle 90s.

The main downside was that the equipment was not suitable for having in the lounge which was a bit of a bummer, however in 2002 I found the Wersi which allowed me to load (Or had included) a lot of computer stuff for playing with, (something up and till then (And still the same now) could not be done on any other hardware board) plus it could go in the lounge which is something I missed. (If it wasn’t for these features I would still be using a fully computer based setup in a separate room as my main music playing system)

The Korg Arrangers have always had in depth features, (They were spin offs from their Pro Line) but no way are they up to in depth music production or what I am used to for my personal entertainment.

The point that most home hobby players won’t use any of these in depth features I made in my previous post, however you are trying to say that arrangers can be used in a high speed production environment, and I can assure you they can’t. (They were never designed for this purpose (It’s like trying to go real off roading in a Ford Fiesta, you just can’t do it even though many of the features are the same as a Toyota Land Cruiser)
