None of them work as well as a good arranger keyboard, IMO. Setting up is not user friendly. Getting good quality XG voices that will work well with Yamaha styles is a challenge. Once it is setup, it works reasonably well, recommend a 76 key controller. I am not aware of arranger software that will work with a Mac. All of the above is my opinion only. I find the software challenging, others do not. Starkeeper _________________________ I play Roland EM20 and Yamaha PSR550

I definitely think that a Neco type (soft synth) arranger is the direction that Arranger Keyboarding will be taking, but until they perfect the system to support easy on the fly navigation & access, and software stability (no crashing) hardware based arrangers will rein. I give it 3 years before considering a soft synth arranger keyboard like the Neco. - Scott _________________________
