I find what your saying in the ignorance of the audiences and other fellow musicians who know nothing to what an Arranger KB can do & you can't blame them. Why should they know about Arranger KB's in the first place other then "WOW all that music comes out of that thing?" It is an art form to a degree using cutting edge technology.
But it's the "Talent" playing one that sets us apart. There is a place for the Arranger KB in dwindling live situations although the majority of live performance music is so branched out and with so many ways of making music today using so many means just be happy there is a small slice for us arranger KB players in the right situations. Where ever it goes I'm happy I was there in the very beginning after 20 years in bands playing keyboards/organs /etc.. discovering & playing arrangers in the early 80's up till today with an Arranger KB.
If they never made another model I'd be happy with what we have now..
