I'm going to disagree with my learned friend, Donny. Those onboard and third party arranger styles are fantastic features that provide OMB entertainers with the fullness of an entire band, which I guess is why arranger keyboards were created to begin with. The old way is just fine, but the bass, drums, and other layered voices do so much for a song, and yet they still allow you to be creative. That's why I'm working every day of the week and nearly all the piano and organ players I know that did not switch to an arranger are sitting in the audiences and not working. That's why we need drums, Donny.
All the best,
Gary
No one said we don't need drums?.....what I mean is there are other ways of using drum machines backings, left hand bass,bass pedals, chords, RH solos, etc, etc, That said there's is still the "repetitive nature" of styles as a whole vs what Alan is doing.
For me I do it all,
...always have before & after don't matter to me I create music in many ways and sing period. A one trick Pony is boring to watch.
No one gives a crap how I do it, ....all I know they love it.
carry on
