Nice to see so much support for a Hoxophone.

Does a Hoxophone really exist? I googled and wikipedia'd the word and both came up blank.

What about: OMRBwS&SWMI&DSTYCSOTFwHtHaSoM
One Man Realtime Band with Synthesized and Sampled Waveforms Manipulating Instruments and Drums So That You Can Sing On The Fly without Having to hire a set of musicins

The real spelling should be HOAXophone because there are lots of hoaxes that people told about it.

BPA & GAP.......Better Play Alone & Get All Pay

That is an old joke. It is a Hoxophone and
not a Hoaxophone.
If you do not like this name you don't have
to use it. Than stay with arrangerkeyboard.

It is not Hoaxophone, nor Hocksophone, nor Hoxophone - that is an arbitrarily made-up word, and incorrectly at that.

A short discourse in etymology:

The definition of "Hox" from Dictionary.com is hox

\Hox\, v. t. [See Hock. [root]??.] To hock; to hamstring. See Hock. [Obs.]

and "Phone" has many meanings, all related to the Greek root, which means "Sound".

Clearly, the arranger keyboards have nothing to do with hamstringing the performer; if anything, they promote creativity and assist in live performance, without having to wait for the band members to show up and practice their chops.

Also, most arranger keyboards today do not have speakers; hence, they produce NO SOUND, and calling them anything-PHONE is incorrect.

Whatever you may want to call an arranger keyboard, a "Hoxophone" it is not, at least not in English language.
