why ?????? Because there are a whole lot of budding songwriters/performers/musicians out there looking for a hardware solution that can do it all. An arranger (especially the Korg range)can pretty much do it all more readily than a pure breed workstation can. In terms of live versatile performance a workstation is pretty limited compared to an arranger. Go on motifator and search how many threads are about why the XS does not have tyros features and sounds or how appreciative even pro musicians are about the new inbuilt styles, sorry 'Arps' that the motif has with intros and endings that they can quickly copy and edit to their own tastes into a sequencer or convert into their own arp, but of course they are not really styles are they otherwise God forbid it might be similar to an arranger ......


I think King Frog mentioned at one point that he only bought the tyros for the fact that he could use the styles in his studio(i hope i have not misqouted you Kingfrog)

From memory the motif range went from no arps in the motif clasic to over 6000 in the motif XS including drum groves, bass lines and and guitar tracks.

now the Fantom G has them and korg have the Karma .

All i am suggesting and it is only a suggestion, is that an arranger in fact could be the ideal instrument for most musicians if they used just a little imagination .

watch this clip all the way through and forget that its an arranger you are litening to.
