If you CAN - assign the chord recognition to the RH, play manual bass and turn OFF the acc bass. This way the RH has lots of layers happening underneath. I do this a lot. Having a dedicated bass that matches the song to a tee makes it so much more specific. You can play hits, and syncopations between hands when you play your own bass lines that no arranger can anticipate, unless you have a specific pattern programmed. On the fly accents can add so much to an arrangement.


Agreed, great way to make it sound more live. I can play LH bass no problem but it never occured to me when I went to Arrangers. Before that I always played bass pedals , did rhythm chords with LH, RH accents and solos, and sang. Goes way back to my B3 days. Now I chord with LH so maybe I should try doing more LH bass
Arranger are amazing versitile instruments if you dig into the features.
