I would also like to mention that the generalmusic and the va rolands also have dynamaic arranger functions.

The Korg I30 also has a Dynamic Arranger function. The volume is not ajustable like the Roland. You can assign specific accompaniment parts to be on while the left hand chord is held and turn off when the chord ifs released.

Hi Scott

This must be a frustrating thread for you. It sounds like all high-end arrangers except those with rootless chords have dynamic arranger functions. I wonder if there is some reason for this?

Hi Clif,
I guess I can't have everything (yet, anyway) (ha-ha-ha)! Perhaps Technics will eventually add the dynamic arranger feature (again) or some of the other manufacterers (Roland, Solton, Korg) might add "rootless chord recognition" in their "future" models (wishful thinking). I am certainly capable of playing chords in the more "basic chord" style which Roland, Solton, and Korg require and it sounds fine for more basic pop styles (country, folk, pop), but for a more professional 'pianistic' sound (full keyboard mode), I need an arranger keyboard which recognizes the 'rootless' chord playing style.

Hi Scott

I was wondering whether you would use the dynamic arranger mode and pianist mode at the same time. It seems to me that the drum and bass do not necessary vary in volume (one way or the other) whenever the pianist does. But this is just speculation on my part and you would know. Would you want the dynamic arranger feature on when you were playing the jazz piano part?
