If this is all true...how can so many be using the Yamaha arranger at home and professionally?

I have seen lots of playing , changing OTS etc using standard factory styles/OTS and/or registrations with very nice results....if it is that bad no one would ever buy one...

I don't see a name for you in your profile?

Also, I am not under any conditions going down the SW arranger path again. I do not want to do any programming. Especially anything as deep as DSP. I bought the Yamaha for content, available styles and quality voices. AND supposedly smooth style engine.

THIS TIME I am going to concentrate on learning music better and perfecting my playing.

If the SX-900 will not give me smooth transitions to different sounds I will can it, and get something that will.

Thanks,
