I think my point was, chas’s position could have been taken at any time in the past. ‘Average users’ have always existed, from the very first arranger onwards. And every daydream about what could be useful or musical, or just plain fun but didn’t yet exist could have been dismissed with the same apathy.

But each one of us now owns an amazing arranger that exists because no manufacturer said ‘Let’s not bother getting better…. The ‘average user’ won’t use it!’

Chas uses his as a drum machine. Once upon a time, the ‘average user’ didn’t use drum machines. Once upon a time, arrangers had drum pattern that would make Chas throw up!

Personally, though I have no expectation that anything I’d find useful will definitely get added to arrangers, I think I’d rather be on the side of progress than stagnation. Apparently, I won’t get much thanks for it, but make no mistake, you are all playing amazing machines (even if not using 10% of what they can do!) that are the result of people like myself that look to improving the breed.

You’re welcome! 😂🎹😎
