Check out the "For Sale" section folks !

Dave,
Please open a branch of UD music in the UK!!! I love a bargain and a deal but they just are not to be found over here!

Tony

So what's the bargain....there's no price listed. What's a bargain to you may not be to me.

Right, wonder how 'LOW' Uncle Dave will go on his so called 'mute' keyboard with the too small toyish keys, especially since he also stated that he thought the Tyros more fitting to be carried at Toys R Us.

Read the post ..... you tell ME what it's worth. You already know I don't like it.
BTW - Toys R Us wouldn't trake a trade on a PS2. Damn ......

Fellas...Fellas....common,
talk price in private.....

Who's talkin' price? I didn't hear no stinkin' offers yet !

I'm beginning to think that a good synth and a drum machine would be just as good as an arranger. Anyone agree?

cassp: Huh? Sorry, I don't agree with you. While a synth, along with drum machine, can make a good performance pair, especially when configuring & playing the kb in split mode (with bass in LH and playing comping chords/fills/melody in RH, and of which I occasionally like to play in this style myself), even the best synth and a drum machine together, cannot match what is the 'primary' feature of an 'auto accompaniment' arranger: 'full' instrumental auto-accompaniment (bass, drums, keyboard, + other backing instruments). Only a true arranger keyboard will provide, while played live, a 'complete' rhythm section backing arrangement. - Scott

Dave did you get my email?

Just answered it! Let the bidding begin !
3 inquiries so far......

In some ways, it's better. In other ways is not. As a manual bass player, I adore creating my own arrangement as I go along, making the badd and drums "kick" together at MY whim. I really prefer that triop sound for the more intimate, early part of the night. I actually HATE using an auto arranger when the kb is quiet. It lacks most of the "luster" at lower volumes, so I reserve the auto boys for when i need a fatter, fuller sound for dancers. Aside from that - I use Custom MP3's or sequences for stuff that "needs" to sound right.

I still contend that the arranger can be overused. Especially if you do many songs with the same patterns. Mix it up ..... play some bass, play some muted arrangements .... Play, play, play !!!!!!

Dave
So it's less of a "bargain" and more of an auction then.

I agree with Scott here. Two almost totally different concepts and approaches to making music. I own all of the mentioned and approach them all differently.

To me overall an arranger is far more flexible and can cross over to cover what a synth/workstation does, by not turing on auto accmp., but not visa versa.

What's next Uncle Dave..., Korg PA1xpro?

Could be..... could be.
I'd rather have the model with speakers though. I just want to sell these two sleds so I can be ready for the next big thing. I don't want either of these. (Ty or Tri)
C'mon people ..... the Triton is CHEEEEEEEEP!

looks like I just sold my Tyros too, maybe we can get a 2 purchase deal on a PA1?

Yeah .... when are THEY due out?

The Korg Pax1 pro61 w/speakers
& the new Bose system Dave?

WOW ! Woweee! Wow Wow!....

You go boy!!!
