It took me about 2 hours from start to finish. I arranged this song using the onboard sequencer of the Korg PA1X arranger. Real examples are better than 1000 words.

The arranger will more than satisfy your needs sonically but what it will do more than anything else is enable you to get your song ideas down and recorded very very quickly ! You can edit the idea to your taste later, using either the keyboards own detailed sequencer which is adequate or an external software or hardware sequencer if you prefer.

Forget what you are being told about sound quality and the numbers of effects and the depth of editing.

If you are not a keyboard player and this is your first time in owning a serious keyboard and you are looking for it to help you write songs and not playing with filters,effects routing etc, then you should be seriously considering an arranger keyboard/workstation like the micro arranger or a PA800 or used PA1X instead of a workstation. A good used M50 on Ebay will not cost you much more than the micro and is an excellent tool for song creation I find. I find the touch screen to be an invaluable tool for quickly editing most anything from sounds and effects right on through to sequencing. I would think that for song writing purposes that the krome would give you alot more bang for your buck and it even has piano roll editing.įor that matter perhaps do not rule out an M50 which also has much better sound and a touch screen for sequencing.

However the sound quality of the Krome is vastly superior to the micro. I am pretty sure the micro does have a sequencer included with it. How does the sequencer differ from the arranger accompaniment?

If you just want to create the melody and let the keyboard play the other parts I would choose an arranger. I'm not really familiar with workstations (I've done some reading on the difference between the arrangers and the workstations), so I was hoping you'd be able to offer some advice on which would be better for me. It's more than my budget, but I'd rather buy the right thing right away than throw the money down the wind. The Krome is twice the MicroArranger money. What I liked about it is that it's cheap and that maybe I could bring it on a plane if I move to some other country for work in a year and a half. Apart from the tiny toyish keys (that I'd probably get used to), it felt rather flimsy. I went to a shop to try out and pick up a MicroArranger, but I left the shop without it.

I'm a songwriter needing a relatively portable keyboard which offers a possibility of creating decently-sounding full songs for demos. I need advice on buying my first (sort of, first "serious") keyboard.
