I'm pretty savvy when it comes to most geeky things, but when it comes to being an entertainer, I know what my audiences want, and how to deliver it in the most effective manner. Punching PC keys and using a controller just ain't gonna cut it for me, or my audiences. As anyone that has been an OMB entertainer for more than a few days will tell you, it's hard enough to convince our audiences that we are really up there playing and singing, and some electronic gizmo is not doing all the work and we're just lip-synching. I wish I had a dollar for ever time I've heard someone say, "It's really him singing." And, just about every time you perform in front of a new audience someone will ultimately come up and start up a conversation while you are playing and singing, as if you could just stop doing both and the music and singing would continue without you. Give me my all in one package, my arranger keyboard, and a good vocal processor, and I'll do the rest. I need instant access to songs, styles and voices, and the arranger keyboards provide that access with little or no effort on my part. I need to be able to transition from one song to the next in less than a second, and have all those voices I saved in the registration show up on the OTS right where I want them. And, those OTS voices, IMO, really sound realistic from just about every arranger keyboard I've owned over the past two decades. Cheers, Gary

I only play evenings at home in my little music room also known as home studio..
Last time i performed live was over 15 years ago... It was nerfbreaking, each and every time, so in the end, i decided to stick to my musicroom..
Bachus, You are wise for doing music the way YOU love to do it. Plus, it's people like you who spend great amounts of time on VST's and other products, that can pass on your knowledge to those of us who, either haven't had the time to play around with these products, or have been using more dedicated instruments that are easier (or simpler) to use when performing live. Whatever works best for you. I know, since my retirement, I thoroughly enjoy playing the music I want to play, instead of having to play according to the whims and wishes of an audience. Ian
