, an arranger kb is a very flexible instrument although you don't see it used very often in bands on stages all over,....why? who knows?....probably just the "Aura" of it sends subliminal "home player" messages to pro keyboard players etc, etc, ....but we know better right?..
Yeah you almost never see arranger keyboards used on stage, especially in any kind of band situation. Most of the musicians I've worked with on gigs where I bring in an arranger get a kick out of it. They asked me all sorts of questions, often wondering how I "control the track"
Many times they are surprised that it wasn't a pre programmed track. Arranger KB are a great tool and I'm glad I discovered them right here on SZ! A total game changer for me!
