I played keyboard & organ/synths etc, for 20 years prior....
then in 1983 I saw the KORG SAS20 arranger KB in a music store and the rest was history..


What was your FIRST Arranger?

My first arranger was a Casio but can’t remember which model. But i do remember my second keyboard a Yamaha PSR 6300.

Fran yes I remember that Yamaha model for sure
reminds me of the PSR 4600 & Technics KN7000..

My first was a Casio CZ 101, and the second was the Yamaha 6300 as well. It does look like the KN7000 but since there are years in between, I am afraid my KN7000 blew it out of the water, although it had a great sound for the day.

I had a cz101 and don’t recall any arranger features

unfortunately i never have had a Technics. I was a real Yamaha guy in those years and also have had the psr 4600. Yes the cz101 is no arranger but a synth.

I had a cheap Yamaha and then got a PSR 740 which was a great arranger.

After lots of fun with accordeons and JVC home organ, my first portable 'keyboard' was a Botempi with airfan.
The very first 'arranger' was Roland E-15 and E-20 until I was lucky to come across Technics sometimes in the 80'ies.

My first arranger was a Korg ix300. I teetered between that and the i3, but I went with the newbie. It was a great transition from playing a TR505 and an XP50.

Transitioned from mixer accordion with sd3 module to Orla kx10. Then korg pa500 musikant from Thomann Germany was first full keyboard.
