Hi, tend to think if I was into modern music, I’d be inclined to go down the computer/ software route. There is so much software out there, hardest part would be choosing what to get.A controller keyboard and laptop and I think I’d be pretty much set. If only I was 40 to 50 years younger. Haha.

On the other hand, being a bit of a fossil, I prefer my Latin , ballroom, Jazz type styles etc . Stuck in a time warp 40’s 50’s standards, along with some slightly newer ballads.
Haven’t found the computer/software route, particularly successful as far as arrangers go. VArranger is the best I’ve tried, but nothing beats pressing the ON button, on an arranger keyboard and you’re ready to go.

PA4x catered a bit more towards modern music, those functions I never used. Maybe with the PA5x I would be paying for functions I would never use, and hopefully not at the expense of functions I do use, have to wait and see when the update arrives. Meanwhile, till I find out more, I’m sitting on the fence.
Might get myself a nice new Clavinova arranger piano instead, determined to spend some of the kids inheritance. Haha
