When I was viewing some arranger demos last week, here's one I found:

No offense, but that's the type of music I'd expect to hear from an organ from the 70's or 80's! How many people actually play that type of music today?

Confused

Well, if you go lookin for cheezy music, are you surprised you found it? Smile

Some Germans seem to still retain a fondness for polka and other styles that are throwbacks to a prior age. Rolling Eyes

It causes me no great concern that my S900 has polka styles. No style gets played unless you choose it.

Here's a more representative link, in my opinion.

I wouldn't say it is something associated with arrangers.

The classic arranger sound.
Arrangers of today are able to sound just as good as the best workstations in the right hands, but if people like that are kept in the lime light promoting, no young people will be introduced to Arrangers and the future will be very bleak for them.

Regards.

A merging of workstation and arranger, me thinks... Cool

My Grandad used to tour Working mens clubs in the UK,during the early to Mid 80's with Yamaha and Lowrey Organs,and play this sort of music,he still does do the odd Night at the local Labour club,but now uses a Korg I5S module and a Technics double manual organ.

You may call it cheesy,but its still a big hit for the Older generation,You'd be surprised how many couples come and Dance all night,most of which are usually Ballroom type trained.

The Music is not my cup of tea,but without it I dare say,I may have chosen another path had it not been for years of my childhood spent playing on the Organs he owned.

Most of the Big names in the home Organ market have all but vanished like:

Viscount
Eminent
Lowrey
Bandoni
Wersi
Farfisa
Elka
Bontempi

Technics used to be big organ producers at one time,I think they have all but gone to the Arranger market(or stopped totally)

Roland are still making Organs,but would expect in a few years these will be specialist order or even vanish completely from existince.

Yamaha have possibly had an influence over the Arranger market because of their Financial stature,I dare say the majority of the Organ makers could no longer compete with Home keyboards,once Yamaha started making the PSS/PSR models and Others like Casio starting making them so cheap.
