NO!!!

It is NOT repetitive - it all depends on how you use it. Yamaha has multipads, Ketron has Launch Pads. Korg has pads. You have three intros, three endings, at least four fills. Two upper voices/some three, two lower voices. All of these can be used inside ANY song.

All that is needed is imagination. One should use the arranger as an arranger, using all the buttons, features and sliders.

So much for being "unskilled" for using it - it takes a LOT of skill, fast reaction and a sharp imagination. It is a complex instrument IF used properly. Having nothing but musical skills alone won't cut it if you want to use it PROPERLY.
