Basic difference between synthesizer, arranger & workstation by: Guru
I understood these things from the net. Here is the summary
Synthesizer: When the sound is fed in a Mic it converts into electrical signals. And electrical signals are converted to sound using a speaker.
So directly these electrical signals can be produced using a chip or an IC or a processor. And can produce numerous sounds. This is called as synthesizer
Arranger: Is a keyboard where you have basic sounds like Piano, organ and Guitar. If you are alone on stage you can make use of this and entertain the audience with the similar band effect.
It has chord recognition feature, you can explore and learn more things. Many professionals use arranger live on stage.
Workstation: Workstation has all the basic features which arranger has in addition, it has sequencing techniques. It has many tracks to record you can also get the same effect of an arranger but difficult to use.
But it is more advanced and it depends what you really need.
