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 :

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 !!!

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 ....


Using the original post:

[Quote] you can see how the player gets inspired to create melodies and chord progression as he plays [Quote]

This was being done a long long time before the arranger came on the market. (Plus not everybody wants to do this solo)

[Quote] This kind of freedom to literally arrange and create full expressions of musical ideas is just not possible with any other musical instrument [Quote]

As I said in my original post this statement is nonsensical, as there are many other instruments that can easily do it. (And when it comes to originality do it even better as they are not limited to the canned style system)

As to misquoting and twisting facts, then I am afraid you are the guilty one, not me.

Remember I have no favourite instrument or brand; I just use what suits me, as I am well aware that there is not one instrument that can do everything. (And that includes arrangers, no matter what the manufactures and owners try and make you believe)

Enjoy whatever you play

Bill
