James...I really enjoyed your performance.

OK...here is my take...IF you are as talented as James....(a lot of you here are) then you really may not nead an arranger at all. Even though it can still be great and especially for live play in a audience 'request' mode. Certinly not needed in a studio environment.

Me, I need an arranger because I am not that musically talented...it helps me sound decent and sometimes professional even though I am not. As long as the style I need is available

Can't carry a tune...so singing is out..which means any keyboard I have MUST have top notch very realistic sounds.

So that's where some of my dissappointment comes in. The T2 was nice but some sounds had problems, the Korg PA2XPRO is good, but again some sounds have issues. These problems I speak about can ruin a performance the way I PLAY!

So, I will spend lots of time checking out the T4 AND the new PA3XPRO...IF either one satisfies my need for the quality sound...I will buy. If not I will wait longer.


The mediasation IS NOT AN OPTION for me. I currently do not consider it an arranger keyboard. If that changes...I will look at it. IMHO the only way it will change is if DOM licences the right for the Yamaha style playing like Wersi did. It must work perfect and it must support a FULL XG amd Meha sound set that sounds great with Yamaha styles. He was on the right track with Live-Styler, but fell off.
