Well then why not just show up with a mp3 player (you can plug into the house system). That way you can get rid of your rock&roller cart too. Only problem is, you may have a lot more people competing for your job.

Yes that's a popular lucrative way to make a living today it's called a "DJ"......and you still need the R&R with those big speakers and subs, and oh do the people dance & love it, dance ....
just sayin' wink

To take applause for the music that I didn't even play is against music itself. I would at least say I was not playing that song.

How far are we away from music as an art and as something precious if the attitude is "no matter how it's done, main thing is the audience has fun"...
This reminds me of a parallel with respect to wine as a precious drink connected to a long tradition:

(No matter how it's done, main thing the customer thinks it tastes well?)

Midi file, wav or mp3 playback is too close to Karaoke for me.

Wow. I was under the impression that this was an Arranger forum, and that most folks used the Arranger to it’s fullest potential. Sounds like some of the virtuosi here have a modicum of disdain for working stiffs who use all the features of the Arranger. Just sayin'

I thought that was the idea too, a la "one man band" - all singing , all dancing, doing all you can to have fun and make the customer smile! Have integrity, yes, but have fun too. To me the Arranger keyboard is a Swiss Army Knife (S.A.K) not a Broadsword, both can open up a can of beans, but the S.A.K. does 10 different ways, while the broadsword only one.

Well, "one man band" originally means playing various instruments at the same time. P L A Y I N G.
And what does MP3 have to do with an arranger? The audio-in connection?? MP3 doesn't even use the arranger's own sounds. Using MP3s is so much like a DJ you could leave the keybed at home... No reference to a "one man band" there...
