If you are using boring styles, then you aren't using the style creator feature on your instrument to its full potential.

I can also use the arranger's sequencer to multi-track when recording, and I can also do multi-tracking with the addition of a style.

That's what makes an arranger more versatile to me than a workstation...it's also this same immediacy that lets you get down an idea before you lose it if you are into song writing or doing demo tunes.

But again, the way I use an arranger only has to suit ME, not anyone else.

If you need to use all those tools to do a performance, that's fine...we obviously operate differently Donny. All I need is the arranger itself, whether I'm playing for my own enjoyment, doing studio work or taking the occasional gig. In all cases, I'm playing the instrument.

That's why I said I was so happy with my Tyros4...its the Swiss army knife of keyboards in my opinion.
