Lets agree to disagree.
No problem.
I do understand about "workstation" being a stand alone term, but arranger-workstations, and workstations, and their intended users, are not as distinct as they used to be....I work in the field and demo and promote these products. I have seen both types of users change camps.
It's like digital stage pianos with pitch/mod wheels, and a whole bank of sounds, some types even allowing basic editing (or in the case of Korg's PA-588, arranger functions, sequencing with detailed editing, and decent synthesizer functions as well)...the line is becoming a tad murky with these products as well...are they weighted action romplers, or digital stage piano/arranger workstations?
I always say, we live in an interesting age...technology has advanced geometrically in the past few years, and no doubt, will continue to do so.
BTW, I liked the Oasys a lot...would be a monster for film scoring, just to name one use that comes quickly to mind.
