But if any keyboard defines the term 'instant gratification', it's the arranger!

TBH, most of the keyboards they ARE buying are much harder to work than an arranger... I am CONVINCED it is the content, not the keyboard TYPE that is putting them off. Put the shoe on the other foot - how interested in arrangers would we be if there were next to NOTHING in them we could use? If nearly ALL the styles were hiphop, crunk, deep house, rap, styles like that?

None of us, I'm sure...! Well, that's EXACTLY what young keyboard buyers face. And guess what? Kids aren't buying them. But it's got almost nothing to do with the workflow. That's almost perfect for today's 'one finger' kids!
