Well fortunately for both of us, chas, arranger manufacturers don’t include ONLY what your definition of the ‘average’ arranger user uses, or 90% of what they even currently do would be missing!

Most people don’t drive much over 80mph. Maybe car manufacturers should go back to cars that can’t exceed it? LOL

The definition of the ‘average’ user of just about anything has never driven the market. The goal is to make something that will CREATE more ‘average users’, and churning out the same old, same old guarantees stagnation and contraction of your market, not growth.

Once upon a time, arrangers didn’t have bass inversion recognition. Or Pianist chord recognition. Or auto fills to new Variations. Or storable registrations. Or style expansion. Or multi-velocity drum samples. Or more than two patterns!

The ‘average user’ didn’t use them. Until they were added.

Now they are the barebones feature set of just about any arranger. Just imagine what the ‘average’ arranger user will be doing in ten years time, as long as arranger manufacturers continue to not make them for the ‘average user’!
