Espescially in the sequencer department, most arrangers are still quite basic...
Its enough for straight replaying
But its not the musical tool, more advanced sequencers offers.

Also advanced arpeggiators, could add a lot more depth..

I made an overview of most options available in hard and sotware overhere.

The problem, who is going to teach the masses to use any of these detailed sequencer features if at all mentioned? ....that's where the problem lies, and the fact that there is just too many choices and options to create music in other ways, besides repetitive style based,....that's why advanced NEW conventional arrangers are slowing down to a crawl..I wish it wasn't so but it is..we probably wont be around when kids say
"hey remember those things back in the day called arranger keyboards?"
