Dom and I have our testy moments, but I realize the promise of his product, which is why I always feel so let down when I hear it being used. You have to understand that the VAST majority of arranger users are looking for basically a turn-key system, and then the more tweaking you can do FROM THAT POINT the better. But, for it to succeed in the market he chose (still not sure why he went the arranger route, given the majority of it's users needs - I would have thought a WS approach for this product would have got him the more adventurous customers it needs ), it needs to at least sound as good as the competition OOTB. Which, sadly to say it doesn't, at least from the demos. And given that you can't find one ANYWHERE, this is the ONLY way you can hear one.

It would be interesting to hear what you feel about this type of keyboard, where doing the voicing of almost everything you use is the responsibility of the user, not the highly talented factory voicers that 'closed' systems enjoy...

In fact, do you actually use an arranger at all for anything (other than providing demos)? How do you see their use, and capabilities?

It would be interesting to hear from you....
