I really haven't found an arranger, other than perhaps Ketron, that is set at the factory to sound really good when you turn it on. I wonder why that is? ....
Have to agree with Don … I have tried many of the brands touted here (except the newer arrangers Genos, Pa4X, Pa1000) and sound-wise and for ease of use, its Ketron hands down. I use the Midjay Plus - have several of them - and find it very versatile as I sometimes use it with a keyboard, midi accordion, or keytar, whatever the gig calls for. From time to time, I use the plus for DJ gigs. As long as AJ is around to support them, and because they are so simple to use and transport, the Plus is sufficient for me.
