That's a good question Donny. My Roland Fantom G7 gives me my 76 keys and a whole lot more but it is not an arranger of course. A totl arranger would give me the ability to view lyrics on the LCD screen plus accompaniment including styles, intro's, endings, multi-pads (although with my FG7 I can make my own multi-pads and trigger them using the 16 Pads or the keys themselves if desired).

Having a 76 totl arranger would give me a two tier keyboard approach which would be optimal for me because I would have the best of both worlds under my fingertips. I need them both in 76 keys though so a T3 or E-80 etc., is out of the question.

Hopefully winter NAMM will have some surprises for us arranger players. Maybe from Roland?? I'm expecting Roland to come out with a replacement for the G-70 soon. Shh! Don't tell Diki or Fran! We'll see what transpires at NAMM. If not NAMM then maybe Musikmesse, or if worse comes to worse - summer NAMM '09.

All the best,
Mike
