you can see how the player gets inspired to create melodies and chord progression as he plays. This kind of freedom to literally arrange and create full expressions of musical ideas is just not possible with any other musical instrument. This is why I love my arranger keyboard !!!
Any person that likes a particular instrument (Any type of instrument) will enjoy themselves playing as well as be inspired to make music, to say it can only be done easily on an arranger is nonsensical.
Since the first musical instruments were made people have always been inspired to make music. (The arranger is just one of 100s)

Bill do you actually read the quotes you use before you comment on them ? Where did I say that only an arranger musical instrument exclusively can inspire or give enjoyment whilst playing it ? Can you find that or even a hint of that from the above quote ?
My word ! It's so frustrating posting on this forum when folkes it would appear deliberately misinterpret or twist meanings to suit some kind of hidden agenda !
I said :

Name another instrument ( not hundreds ) just one where you can arrange drums , strings ,guitars , horns , pads other percussion instruments live and fluidly in one instrument as you play and as the mood takes you as full expressions of musical ideas .
Can't be done on a guitar,flute, piano trumpet , bass sax etc or even on Chas's favourite accordion .
Even the more recent venture by workstations in adopting arranger features has not achieved anything like the fluidity of an arranger keyboard .
The only nonsense being spouted Bill unfortunately is coming from folks who either can't or refuse to read and should really know better than to misquote ....
