I managed to do my New Year's gig with 100% use of the arranger, and, I play all instrumentals, so it was a real challenge.

But, that's where all the hard practice, style making/editing, and conjuring up interesting arrangements can make all the difference.

I managed to keep the dance floor full throughout the evening, even with instrumentals, so there was a lot of personal satisfaction in being able to accomplish something like that, without needing to resort to keyboard karaoke-using SMF or some other way.

I could have stuck a bunch of MP3's on a memory stick and had the Tyros4 play them, but there is absolutely no joy in DJ'ing for me.

The fun (and the objective) has, and always will, be in the playing.
