ALL arrangers for pretty much the last ten years or so have been able to play ON bass chords (slash chords, Bass Inversion, whatever you want to call them). Especially MOTL and TOTL arrangers. They are an integral part of music, absolutely essential to performing many different types of songs, and also to having true 'pianostyle' chord triggering. The fact that this BASIC function has been left off the MS since its' inception, and appears to not work correctly even on the third party software style players, relegates its' usefulness as an arranger to the same level as a toy Casio.
It's all well and good to gush about the advanced things it CAN do, but perhaps we ought to be paying more attention to the [b]basic things it CAN'T?
This was Dom's mistake from the beginning. Rather than START with a fully functional arranger, and ADD the VSTi capability, he started with a VSTi player, and tried to shoehorn it INTO an arranger. And failed miserably, I hate to say. If you can't play simple chords like C/E, what's the POINT?

Diki,did i said something about Roland or Korg or other manufacturers?
sorry, but I do not talk about products that I've never seen (My first keyboard was a Yamaha). You sometimes talk about things you do not even use or have seen.
Moreover maybe I've ever been a Roland fan more than you are now.
you accuse people only. while you do not know their personalities.
sometimes you think they are thieves..........(remeber you the thread about live arranger on MS)
do you think bass inversion is too difficult to program for domenico and his programmers?
i think not. qranger is software to move forward and not backwards.
OS 1.8 was completely different from lionstracs arranger, If I am not wrong then there was bass inversion. I'm sure this option ever comes back.
I can at least programming styles, but you .............
only talk without having to know anything.
answer this,how many people do you think using bass inversion?
some user turn off because they do not like it on some arrangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
