Hi Dnj,

I like the music genre, especially Funky House, but I am afraid you'll never hear that authentic club/house/disco sound on an arranger unless it's sampled properly. Every arranger I've owned has never been able to replicate this type of music and don't even mention the styles, most are nowhere near arranged to a high standard. In saying that, Yamaha do have some acceptable club styles and the Korg has that lovely Dream style that resembles Robert Mile's "Children", however, I never found anything remotely usable for use on a Ketron or GEM, they were truly awful for Club or House music.

I thought Yamaha were going the right way about it though a few years ago when they released the DJX was it? Shame it used a basic sound engine and sounded very toy'ish but the idea was great, if they had continued to research and develop the series and used a professional sound engine it could have been used for DJ'ing.

I think most people who use arrangers are not bothered about those types of styles and sounds anyway which I would suspect is why it's always been the weakest recreated genre on all arrangers.
