Hi Frank,
your help has been invaluable. Obviously softsynths & software arrangers isn't for everybody, but for me, it's helped me focus on getting back into playing music, instead of lusting after every new keyboard that hits the market and wondering what new features it has to offer to help me sound better.
I've had far too many to count over the past 15 or so years (and I've enjoyed every one of them) but now I'm back to where I started, playing piano ( digital this time round) , but, with one exception, I have omb/laptop/softsynths for when I want to play with arranger functions.
Best part is, this arranger is totally upgradeable (or fine as ), ie add new sounds, update arranger software , upgrade computer , upgrade controller. In short, one doesn't need to chuck out the baby with the bathwater everytime one wants to improve the system.

Thanks Frank, I hope you keep posting. As long as the subject is clearly stated in the "Topic" line, I doubt whether most members really mind, they can just skip it and go on to the next topic.

best wishes
Rikki
