Lets see... Interesting move from Yamaha, Bert usually does synth demos; him doing arranger demos would be fun. If he can convince the synth players to switch to an arranger, that would be ice cream to Eskimos.

I belong to the "below 30" group. I don't earn any money out of playing these awesome instruments; the pleasure it gives me after a long day at work goes much beyond the money... And talking of money, in the compromise between budget and quality, budget has the upper hand as of now

And when I get to "40 plus" age group, like many here on SZ, quality may take precedence over budget while choosing arrangers. Hopefully I will have improved beyond simple chord progressions and amateur playing. All this, if both me and arrangers are around then

But honestly, Bert makes the motif line boards sound so good and arrangements with button pushes seemed seamless that I thought it can be used as an arranger. And when I tried it in the store, realised it is difficult for me to use it as an arranger even though pros tell its possible.
