I really enjoy my arranger keyboard, Donny...I also work hard to individualize my performance, both in the way I create my own styles, and in the way I arrange my music (chord structure etc.).

Playing over a midi file is boring in my opinion...way too repetitive for my liking...I like being able to re-arrange on the fly which is why I prefer to use style backing instead of the whole she-bang being previously recorded (usually by someone else).

But, that's the beauty and versatility of the instrument...you can play either way.

I just like my way better, that's all.
