I am considering buying another arranger. Still not sure, just thinking about it. I like the PA3x (except the dang endings ending abruptly) but it's over three grand. I can afford it but really don't care to spend that much. What about the other Korgs?

In addition to regular songs, I have two albums written about my hometown. I am not sure I want to record those albums with studio recordings due to the cost. For them, I was considering doing it on an arranger. Not all the songs, some would be guitar only.

What about PA500 (or other Korg)? What do you like about it?

It doesn't have to be Korg, could be Roland. I don't think I will buy Yamaha, bass and drums don't cut it for me.

P.S. I don't care about a lot of right hand sounds. I'd use only piano, organs, etc. Maybe occasionally an electric guitar if it was killer.
