but how many arranger players need or even ever use "in depth" synth workstation features, editing, etc, etc,..? why pay for all that if your never ever going to use those features or easily do it on your DAW programs?
I own the korg pa1x and pa4x . I am probably a good example of the kind of musician that will use both workstation and arranger features to the fullest . I just finished a track for my church choir using my arranger as a true workstation. They will use this next week because the band that was supposed to play has let them down . And I will use the same instrument in rehearsals with my gospel group to flesh out songs that we are learning for a concert in a few weeks . And finally I will use the same instrument in preparation for Easter with my works choir.
Why would I buy two separate instruments when one covers that work effortlessly ???
