Any sound you create with the on board edditors...
You can go really crazy on some arrangers like the pa4x where it comes to creating your own sounds... even the Genos is okay for that...

The same discussion could be about todays organs and stage piano’s ..

The power of an arranger keys these days, is that its a synth, which allows you to create both authentic sounds, as well as emulating sounds...

If you want to cattegorise all the above instruments, they are synths. Which means an instrument that allows you to create your own sound... hench, synthesis.
