When they age, they are going to want to play what they played as youngsters, as do we... They won't be playing arrangers, because they STILL won't be the right keyboard for their music

Our only hope is to get arranger type control of modern WS's... They are cheaper, better, and more abundant, and will be around for LONG after arrangers have gone the way of the 'home organ'

Personally, I think if a MotifXS had arranger style loop control, or a FantomG could control it's tempo-synched loops and arps with chords and had the same arranger-like capabilities (without using the WORD 'arranger' or 'variations and fills' to cloud the issue), I would be using one now, quite happily... and save myself around $1500

But you are NEVER going to see a twentysomething start to use arrangers to play bossas and bigband when he retires!
