Well, given that NONE of these videos show anybody using an arranger in the way that probably 99% of us here at SZ do, let's simply say the issue is still open. Other than the loopstation video (which isn't really style play, but manipulating audio loops like Live can) I have to sadly say I didn't hear a darn thing that I couldn't easily do with a closed arranger. The Addictive drums demo had audible pops all the way through it, some of which were happening during drum sound selection, some of which were NOT...
But, let's be honest. In the four of five years the MS has been out, this is honestly the BEST you can come up with? REALLY?
Trust me, guys, when I hear great music performed on an arranger, I say it, whether the arranger is one I admire or not. Other than the loopstation video, I am afraid I can't say it about this stuff. And the loopstation work is good for what it is, but those loop techniques can't really be applied to regular, standard music like, once again, most of us play.
Could I make something decent on the MS if I were given one for free? Possibly, but I'm just not sure I would want to put the hours (days, weeks, months!) of work into it before it would make something that any Big 3 arranger could do out of the box. So check with me before you send me that MS, Dom
