There's one trick in all this...with an arranger that is...
I've been reprogramming my S970 to use for future gigs...lots of my own time involved....even with using registrations from my Tyros 4.
Thing is, unless someone knows something I don't....arrangers aren't just grab and go. There's lots of mixing and matching styles, voices, multipads and whatever.
Even if I went to the 'Dark Side' as Don suggested, once I get a Korg, there's a lot of work in front of me to use it for a gig.
Thoughts?
Donny, sorry. Hope this doesn't goof up your sale.

I didn't want to hijack Donny's thread any more than what was being done already, but I did want to comment on what guitpic has posted.

Yes, you are right - going from one manufacturer to another is a daunting task - especially if you are not at all familiar with the OS ...
For the past couple of weeks, I too have been going through my styles and tweaking/editing/changing them, sometimes for specific songs, other times just to make it sound 'better' at least to my ears ... there might be a Brass track in a style playing a certain riff, and I will copy that into another track and perhaps change it to a sax voice, and then have one track going to the right and the other going to the left so that the sound is 'opened up' ... It is WORK, for sure, but I am also finding it to be fun as well ...
These are things one is only going to do when one knows the KB is going to be around for a while - OR, that the newly edited style would be transportable to another KB ...

If your not going to put your heart and soul in your music, do the endless hours and weeks of tweaking to set up every song to perfection, and then ion stage teak even more & more untyil its right ....the why be an entertainer...your audience deserves 150% from you...unless you dont care and just do it for the money like many bozos I see and hear about all the time who rarely last long any way...as I always say the more they play the more $$$$ I make...I've seen many come and go and there is a reason for that the music tells all in so many ways...

again.... IF YOU WANT TO PERFORM FOR PEOPLE DO YOUR KB, STYLES, SOUNDS, BACKING TRACKS, SMF, VOCAL HARMONY HOMEWORK NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES, GET IT RIGHT, LOVE IT TO DEATH EVERY DAY AND MAKE IT YOUR PASSION..........or just be that run of the mill mediocre player.....
music is a great gift show the people why?

have a nice day...
