There will never be one perfect arranger, because there are so many different, almost mutually exclusive needs. Until the day comes when you can tell your arranger 'Hey! Guitarist! Play a little less busy... And drummer! lay into it a bit more on the chorus... and change to a Gretsch kit for this one', we are all at the mercy of the manufacturers...

Diki,

I disagree. We are not at the mercy of the manufacturers, but instead, we are limited by our own creativity, or the lack thereof. There are an enormous number of options right there at our fingertips, but very few people are willing to take the time to explore them. You can beef up, tone down or turn off any sound within any style. It just takes a little time and a bit of creativity. Those not willing to invest both in any brand of keyboard will not reap the benefits.

Cheers,

Gary
