Donny ... I think that is far too broad a statement ... just sayin' ...

Not me, I'm not in a bad mood. I'm in a good mood. I have an EA7 and happy with it.
...for now.

WHAAAAAAAT?

so what I don't have an arranger or any keyboard in my stable at the moment?... but your missing the point that even without a physical instrument per say I wanted to show that you can still create music as I have done. Then Maybe just maybe some members would like to join in and input a small part to add to what I have done. But no instead it turns into a circus act of the usual why, how,what, etc, etc..
I know as musicians & as human beings we are ALL hurting with what is going on, but I though that maybe just maybe a small collaboration musically could take you mind off it and we could do something together instead of angry rhetoric. And to answer anyone's question I really don't know at this time what direction I want to go at this time. Is that so hard to understand? Unless something "totally new" is ever released I am not buying another arranger keyboard,... that I know. At this time I am experimenting with different options, and ideas for creating music, but honestly I am just bored with what is out there now in arrangers of which I have had too many in the past style wise,
and feature wise, etc, I love and always have loved the concept of an arranger but I guess I burned myself out trying them all for now. Nothing excites me at the moment. The NEW Roland Fantom interests me a little but seems very complicated and I am too arranger lazy to dig in to that fantastic synth keyboard. The Ketron Launchpad looks amazing too. My Mixcraft DAW fill my needs and it's fun to play with, loops, sounds, etc, using my small Arthuria MiniLab MKII 25 key controller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe46YZEjtdA if it ever gets here from back order . So in conclusion lets stop being angry, support each other and we will get through this at some point. Meanwhile my pursuit for gear happiness goes on. Keep watching my Icon for info. Now would some one please post some music I'd love to hear it....
stay safe and carry on..

I don't get where you think anyone is angry? There's tons of support and creation going on. YOUR post sounds angry, and defensive. No need for that, my friend.

you totally missed my point but that is ok Dave....carry on.

Donny, Dave beat me to it, but I am wondering the same thing, especially when you address it as 'everyone' ...

I said this:


Is that something said in anger? - no, just my view that more than 24 seconds would be needed to lay down a track - I apologize if I'm wrong ...

I then said:


That also was not said in anger - I do not consider myself a soloist so I feel just about ANYONE could do a better job ... and let's be honest, there have been some who have posted 'organ' performances and others have commented about how it would be better if the person had used a swell/expression pedals ... I'm not dealing anger there, just stating a fact ...

I hope you have a wonderful day, and that is said in full sincerity ...

Perhaps I did also ...

I'm not angry. I woke up this morning, still alive, it raining and just 48 degrees, the dogwoods are in bloom and last night a huge, gray fox walked past the outdoor video camera. I listened to your submission, thought it sounded like an intro for a song, and wondered why there was not more. It sounded OK, but no wow factor for me. But, of course, I'm not a jazz guy either - just a don-home, country boy at heart!

Now, why in the Hell did you get rid of the T4? IMO, it's among the best, high end arranger keyboards ever made - including the Genos. There is nothing you could not do, musically, with the T4, which has been clearly demonstrated by players all over the globe.

Buy yourself another S-675 and make some beautiful music,

Gary

sometimes you can feel the anger without reading it..
