But surely bill doesn't that mean I could connect my keyboard to a computer and do the same thing you do ? That's not anything like using a keyboard workstation in the manner the original clip at the start of this discussion set out when spelling out the differences between an arranger and workstation .

If I had a controller keyboard and a daw the entire workstation Comparison is redundant don't you think ?

And russ gave a great example of how he would use an arranger to flesh out a rough project then take it to a studio and get it done professionally . Much like a producer would use a workstation . The only thing I would add is that he could do an awful lot of the refining of the project on a workstation or workstation arranger before it got to a studio .

But if he wanted to he could deliver the finished piece to an acceptable standard to his clients on either an arranger or workstation . Isn't that just another real world illustration of the interchangeable use of an arranger as a workstation ?
