Between an open keyboard and a closed keyboard with lots of expandability?

The number of fanboys.

Whats the difference between a Yamaha arranger a Korg arranger and a Roland arranger??

Lots of fanboys

probably the amount of time you may need to spend and potentially money to get the instrument set up and ready to play the way most people use an arranger. The amount of potential with an open aranger would seem limitless . But time and money perhaps not so limitless.

Thanks for bringing it around to a more serious level Spalding

"But time and money perhaps not so limitless"

Yep totally agree

Yup...and...if you wanna Play you gotta Pay!

1. If you want a keyboard where everything is done for you, and you are happy to accept what the manufacture supplies for you, then a closed keyboard is the way to go.

2. If you want to do your own thing, use the sounds and software you want, are prepared to put the work in and never have to buy a new keyboard (Just update the Hardware/Software) then an open keyboard is for you

To sum up

OOTB experience, go for closed

Do your own thing, go for open

If you want to just TALK about making music, but never actually post any, an open arranger is by far the best way to go...

But why is a Korg Pa 2x pro, Yamaha Motif xs not call an open keyboard?
After all you can increase the ram and you can load new sounds on both of those boards?

And you can do a lot of creation on those boards.
