Hi,
I've only partially gone down the same road as Frank. My computer setup isn't on a par with Frank's, mines only a laptop with 512mb's of memory.
Originally I was only interested in running OMB software with a hardware soundsource
( my Clavinova clp170 ) but as time went on, I became more & more interested in using software based sounds.
Reason for giving up the hardware arrangers was that I realized most of the styles I use were converted styles . Most of them needed a certain amount of tweaking. So for me it's no great hassle, I'd have to tweak the styles for whatever soundsource I decided to use, be it a brand new arranger keyboard, my clavinova or the soundfonts.
My focus is to put together a software based arranger for as little money as possible but still have reasonably good sounds using soundfonts. Certainly not on a par with Frank's system, but hopefully it should sound ok with relatively little money spent ( except for my computer and clavinova which I use as a controller).
best wishes
Rikki

hi frank,on your previous system,you was saying that the sound quality on your system was superior by using the more up to date software compared to what you hear on a top of the range arranger,a few others have followed gone down the same road,ie, vquestor,rikki,this may sound like a daft question but,if you was to upload a song would it sound the same on our keyboards as on your system or would our keyboard not play as good due to the limits of our keyboards be of a lower standard,mike
