I'm the one who started this thread and I'm now more confused than when i started. It's hard for me to imagine there are so many out there that are working production people who make full use of most of the capabilities of a top-end workstation or a top-end arrnager, for that matter. My hat's off to them if there are, because I can't ever imagine myself doing all that. Seems like a full-time occupation to me, there's so much to work on it seems overwhelming. I would think there are many more out there like myself, but maybe i'm just out of it. I'm a working musician, jazz-oriented mostly, who uses an arranger for omb, duo, and rare trio gigs, and while I enjoy tweaking some of my most-used sounds, and paring down and remixing some of the styles---what I need an arranger for is to follow my LH in full kb mode,
splits or no, and to provide me the best possible dozen or two sounds and styles I would use on a gig, along with a few good effects.
It's beyond my comprehension why anyone like myself would need hundreds of sounds, styles, and effects. Why
I look forward to upgrading is to find among the newer models improved sounds, styles, vocalizer, navigation features, etc.
So am I so atypical, or is the workstation freak atypical?
