Completely on the same page with you all. For me an arranger at home and me singing with the mock with VH and 3 hours just passing by is the ultimate joy and now since I have no arranger with me (sold the pa1000) I feel like singing and playing more than ever. My ultimate dream setup would be an arranger and a Modx on top of it in a rack with some good monitors connected. Aural bliss. But alas space is a constraint. I feel the arranger format is best for me to just start playing and I thoroughly enjoy it. I have a native instruments midi keyboard as well but I always have to connect it to my laptop and then by the time I start constructing a song a lot of time has elapsed and then its time to pack up. So yes the arranger will always be my favourite format. I'm excited about the new touchscreen interface and the new features etc on the sx900. I think this is a definite go!!!Completely
