Bill you always seem to do this. You answer what is essentially a musical question with a technology based answer. The poster asked the question the question
'Anyone have any songs that you have wanted to play on your arranger keyboard but you gave up on because of limitations of the instrument? Every once in awhile I run across a tune with specific breaks, styles, meter or tempo changes that I feel I can't pull off. In these cases I just try a completely different style from the original (make my own unique arrangement) or as a last resort use a SMF. I run into this problem mostly with Latin music (not having the correct style)'
My answer was simply that if you had the skills to programme your keyboard, any keyboard arranger or not you were only limited by your talent.
The poster was basically saying that if it wasnt all packaged up for them in a style they woould struggle with some challenging songs whether it was because of time signatures or just lack of avalability of styles. I am not disrespecting the poster. I simply told the truth, that if he had the skill levels he could make his owns styles on te arranger or just sequence the music on his arranger or just as he would have to on any keyboard. The keyboard is only limited by the ability of the player using it.
I dont know why folks get blind sided the words 'arranger' .
Bill j have a great respect for your technical knowledge but in this case it simply is not applicable .Your answer had nothing whatsoever to do with the question asked or even my response . What has hard ware, software VST etc got to do with anything at all ???
If the playre can reproduce the music he wants on an arranger then he is unlikely to be able to do it with any other instrument .
