thats a good one, but also hard to discuss. as its done all by ear... however, in general i found that each sound on a keyboard deserves its own aproach with the use of articulations,expression Pedals, sustain, wheels, joysticks and such... this is where you can make arrangers really shine...its also the least documented part..


All good keyboard music teachers have emphasised the importance of emulating the technique of the player for the instrument you are trying to re-create, (Long before pitch wheels and articulations became standard on instruments) so nothing new there.
