Been following this thread for awhile and I'm amazed at the number of comments alluding to how 'easy' it is to play an arranger. Man I'm finding the 3000 I have is as complicated as anything I have dealt with. Seems there is nothing I can do that is as simple as just calling up a style and playing the tune and have it sound decent. I know many home users do it that way but I want to have a professional sound. To get the arranger to do what I want I have to spend just as much time, if not more, setting things up as I would if I was using other boards and a DAW. For my 2 cents worth the main advantage of a TOTL arranger is its OMB abilities. With the ability to control vsts I would have no problem plyin in a band.
