"I never mix the two ....
my DAW and controller KB is one thing arranger another..
no need to mix the two"




Maybe you will find this fact soon

The best possible combination is a good arranger keyboard as a controller for your DAW.. To not "mix them" is foolish

Use the arranger as a faster way to get a jump start on any project..

Eliminate the "workstation" mentality , You can do "so much more" in "so many ways"....

You can use the VST's in the DAW, add your loops etc, but put down the bulk of the work via the arranger.. (don't forget to use a good arranger)
