I'm making the same resolution I have made for the past 4 years:

Never argue with an Idiot.
They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

(Ever wondered why I post less and less here these days....?? )

To buy a top end arranger and start making some modern styles for your children and (grandkids for some of you)... My resolution is to do what I can to try and wipe out this "old fart" stereotype arrangers suffer from.... Or at least help a little to change some minds. Only downside is my resolution will require several grand. Convincing the younger crowd about arrangers is going to be hard enough.., convincing the wife on buying a top arranger could mean the end of my life or an extended visit with our living room sofa

Squeak that will never happen....millions "love to dance", to foxtrot, rumba, chacha, merengue, waltz, polka, tango, swing, will never die out & will never change in years to come....
it's not going anywhere.........not saying there isn't a place for the newer styles you enjoy...but they are mostly DJ driven & loop orientated, created by Workstations, samples, synths, & drum machines.....basically theres no reason to use an arranger for these it's just the way it is.

You've never played the DJX then... Arranger's (if the styles are written properly) can do a pretty good job at it. Problem is no one is writing the styles. Yamaha killed the line just when the sales of the original old blue were sky high. It made an impact..., possibly too good of an impact because they're top dog at the time was the EX5 (and the Motif Classic was in the works)..., can't have an inexpensive arranger keyboard designed solely for electronica taking a few bucks from the top line.

It was the only resolution I ever kept!

Don;t need the pressure and resultant guilt.... I'll just do as I want when I want......or not.

I'd like to keep adding new material every month...

I'd like to lose about 35-40 pounds this year...
