IMHO, and I may be wrong about this, both processes are easy to execute and have thousands of styles to pick from in the styles window. Note that I can use both RTs or MIDI styles. Granted PGM could have a better filtering system for picking a style but to me BiaB is the better route to take. YMMV

PS - Steve this is no knock against you or anyone else into chord sequencer keyboards. I'm just trying to understand. Noted that you will need a keyboard along with BiaB so that is another expense.
Mario, I may not be able to help you understand the finer points of arranger keyboards, indeed, the reason this thread exists is for me to learn more about them. But maybe this thread can help you understand a bit about why I want one.

I don't doubt that BiaB and MIDI can do many great things but they are not portable keyboards, and that is my need. I agree that BiaB desperately needs better filtering capability. I also agree that several key presses are needed to get things done on arranger keyboards. But would't one expect that to be the case?

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
