You can see that Ian but obviously some people on this forum are deliberately blind to what is right in front of them.
The Example that I posted was of a guy playing an arranger and creating fully expressed musical ideas freely with full arrangements. You heard drums , strings guitars organs you name it all arranged and coordinated to flll out all the stuff that you only hear in your head when playing any other instrument .
That seems pretty unique to only arranger keyboard. Is that really so unclear ?
Just so I know what kind of misunderstanding is going on here (obviously there is some misunderstanding ) , can you name just one other instrument .... Just one where you can create full musical expression of an idea live and as you feel it like the video example this whole topic is about ?
Just one Bill.... I would really like to know if one exists that I've missed . Because one of us is genuinely talking nonsense here and if it's me then help me out .
1. Any entertainment organ, (The arranger is just a single keyboard with all the electronic entertainment organ easy play features) which has the greater advantage that whatever is in your head can be put down, recorded and played live. (No need to follow along to canned bass lines or accompaniment as you can play what’s in your head yourself)
2. A Midi controller keyboard with a laptop and Abeleton Live
There’s 2 options all way more flexible, allowing you to put down what’s in your head far more easily.
Nothing wrong using an arranger if it does what you want, however for me there isn’t one out there yet that does what I want, (And I don’t like being dictated to by a manufacture as to what I can & cannot have) hence I use other equipment. (As do 99% of other musicians/technicians/players)
There is a big wide world out there, with folks doing all sorts of things, so its pointless banging on about the arranger as if it’s the best thing out there, because it’s not. (Not even close)
