I really don't see anything automatic when you are playing an arranger keyboard. It it was automatic, it wouldn't need those black and white keys. We essentially control every aspect of the arranger, we select the components of the style we wish to utilize, then we play those components in the chords we select, much the same way an organ, accordion, piano, etc... is played. the only real difference is the looping, which is looped at the tempo we select and control. The right hand comps and instrumental runs are obviously, not automatic. All of this relies on the skills of the person sitting behind the keys.

Donny, I give them 150 percent every time I get on stage - it's what we do. The difference is in how we provide that entertainment and the tools we utilize. I just found the style I wish to use for the song I'm working on. Now I'm in the process of modifying the OTS settings, tempo, and other style components to make it sound the way I want it to sound. Another couple hours and I'll have it ready to use. Or, I guess I could spend $5 and download a midi file from Hittracs or some other site and not play the keyboard at all. NAH! I'll keep doing it the hard way.
