There are several people using arrangers but all of them that I know of use at least as much midi, mp3 and kar stuff as styles.


Don't use MP3s at all, and once in a blue moon I'll use a GM midi file, but that's pretty rare these days. Pretty much use nothing but the onboard arranger styles, a fair number of third-party styles, and my vocals. In comparison, my right hand sucks, but I manage to get by.

The main differences between DonM and myself is I'm older, better looking, and I only play restaurants and bars about once a month. The rest of the jobs are at upscale retirement communities, nursing homes, assisted living centers and of course, some private parties. DonM plays restaurants and bars most of the time, a fair number of large, private parties, he's a lot more talented than myself, lives where it's relatively warm during winter, but he ain't purdy. wink

Cheers,
