Thanx John...what I always did was think of the arranger as my band of which in pre arranger days in the 60s,70's, 80,s I played keyboard in for many many years, clubs, on tour, cruise ships, private affairs etc,...most times with 6 pieces including a lead vocalist. So when I started to go solo and get my OMB act together I wanted a way to keep the sound of the 6pc band but do it alone as I saw what was happening in the music business as computers evolved, DJ's started to appear everywhere, etc,...that said most times my OTS sounds
are including 2 sounds per OTS to switch to giving me a total of 8.. in this family order structure depending on song....
1- Pianos/EPianos, Accordion, 2- Growl Sax/Tenor,Trumpet, Guitars,
3-Organs/Strings/Miller saxes sound ensemble, 4-Brass.
I might add others depending on song but the family of sounds is basically always the same throughout the song progression,
as it was in the band I played in.
This is my BASE foundation set of OTS sounds for almost any song using ONE Reg per song. now that can be doubled easily by using the Multi registration button method only thing that prevents me from doing it that way is always having to remember too much info on what all those reg buts have setup inside them on the fly...where as my way described I can just remember my band members next to me that pretty much stay the same as in a real band.....not saying the other way is wrong and i will certainly try it for sure to see if it works for me better or not to achieve the same outcome when playing a song.
I remain curious...
