That was pretty sad. All I mostly here is drum patterns, yes they change, yes a little accompamyment , but nothing like an arranger as I know it. Maybe good on stage to augment a band performance (if you could even hear it) but not for one man band full performance.

Could you do it, sure, a talented musician can just use a piano, maybe with a PC on the side with Midi's or MP3's.

Wouldn't work for what I want...and I have the wonderful Kurzweil K2600 for that kind of playing if I want. It has drum sequence, arp, full PRO level 16 trk sequencer and awesome sounds.

And ask yourself this...out of the box...does it have content to just set down and pay thousands of songs with full auto accomanyment...with a push of a button or music finder selection (songbook in my case)NOT. Just to figure out which patterns to use & which ones fit a song...would be very time consuming.

Todays WS's have some arranger functions and todays arrangers have some WS fuctions.

But they are two different animals dsigned for different purposes.
Who knows some day there may be combined...the best of both worlds..it would be nice but don't count on it in our lifetime.
