I thought I would take up the offer from Scott to create a new poll with more options and see how it goes....
Arranger/WS options
18 choices allowed


Votes accepted starting: 01/14/11 03:14 PM
You must vote before you can view the results of this poll.

Dennis, you mention external monitor. Does this really mean built in internal speakers?? I wonder if allowing people 18 options which lets them select everything they want really gives much indication of what is really important to people. I think most people will simply select all the features they want which want really give very clear results. Maybe you should limit it to 8-10.

Hi Nigel,

Thanks...No I did mean an external monitor. So many of the screens available on arrangers are so small, that editing (even if possible via the OS) is a real PITA for what you can actually see.

I also wanted everyone to be able to vote on everything because I believe that WILL give a clear picture of what the "consensus" arranger/workstation would be. Well to those of us who are members of SZ smile

At the very least, we will get the most favoured options smile

Although if you could "sticky" this poll, that would be appreciated smile

Thanks m8,

Dennis

Gotcha I thought you may have been referring to an audio monitor. So no-one really cares about onboard speakers ? Well apart from Uncle Dave that is. And it was already sticky before you asked lol.

made my choices.....what's most important to me is high quality keys, great sounds, huge arsenal of styles (especially classical and soundtrack) disk streaming sampler, fully editable sequencer, chord track (not chord sequencer), low weight, medium price.

I can live with all the rest.

by 'medium price' I mean not more than £ 1700 -2000

Korg prices their excellent synth workstations almost always at £ 1699, so that's what I'd expect to pay for an excellent instrument.

I'd love to see more innovation on the style engine, things like FULL audio styles and KARMA integration come to my mind
I'd love to see more controllers added, ribbon controller, vector stick, Pad touch sensitive drum pads, D-beam..
I'd love to see full fledged master keyboard functionallity
I'd love to see Articualtion voices or even other synth engines like VL added.. I.e. a KRonos version of an Arranger

My major gripes with the poll list is that there are only things on the list allready available in current arrangers.. While arrangers need (in my opinion) to evolve to the next level with new features..

judging by the polls 76 keys isn't such a big deal.
