|
|
I just got a nice deal on a mint Karma w/ EXB-MOSS on CL. With summer gigs coming up sooner than later, I'd rather not worry about having a keyboard. Of course, I may be unusual in that I no longer keep a bunch of keyboards hanging around as backups (and I don't like to have to bring the rack out).
Anyone else do anything like that yet? Spend the money on something else? Plan around not having the Kronos too soon? _________________ Kronos 61, Kronos2-88, Hammond B3, Baldwin SD-10 |

I bought a Kurzweil PC361 last week (new) from Novamusik. It arrived on Monday. I don't know what I'm going to do with it but the price was right. _________________ Korg Kronos 61 (2); Kurzweil PC4; Casio Privia PX-350m; Macbook Pro |

I bought a stylophone and a shot gun microphone. I've been eyeballing the Casio WK-7500 (only $500).
I've got G.A.S. and the only cure at the moment is the Kronos, which I have on order. Let's just hope I can hold out for another few weeks.
Maybe I can take my studio apart and put it back together, this may keep me happy and avoid buying anything else. at least until after the Kronos arrives.
I have Kurweil PC361, it sounds great, but it aint no korg kronos. I use it mostly as a sound module, playing single sounds. Running the sequencer is reminisent of the M1.
Congrates on the Karma, I still use mine. _________________ Kronos-6, Krome, M3, Radias, KingKorg, microKorg, KP-2, KP-3, KO-1, KO-1 PRO, Karma, microX, monotron, monotribe, PadCONTROL, Wavedrum Mini, Volca Keys, Beats, Bass, Sample, monotron Duo & Delay, microArranger, M1, Wavestation, Volca Sample, Keys, Beats & Bass, MS-20

Virus TI Snow but I think I will return it and wait (patiently/impatiently) for the Kronos.

I bought a Motif XF and returned it.. The interface w/o a touch screen seriously sucked big time, especially after using a Fantom, Oasys and M3. The processor is slow. I just couldnt get the layout of the navigation and buttons..which made it a damn chore to play I tell you. The sounds were really good though.. When I could find them!! I wanted to like it ..but my Korg/Roland brain just wouldnt let me. Motif is Like peddling a bicycle.. after riding on a motorcycle. |

It's like Korg/Roland = Mac and Yamaha = PC. The Motif interface seems dated, I guess because it actually is! |

Well, I returned the Kurzweil. Yeah, the orchestral sounds are great, but it doesn't suit my needs at all. _________________ Korg Kronos 61 (2); Kurzweil PC4; Casio Privia PX-350m; Macbook Pro |

The screen font was readable... but very small? I was impressed with the build quality..buttons, thumbwheel and sliders, however without a touchscreen I agree the keyboard is 5 yrs+ behind. I imagine the next Motif will resemble the Tyros 4 with touchscreen etc..
The XF is way overpriced compared to a Fantom, V SYnth, M3. |

Haha...
thats the problem when you get used to using them,I have 5 Devices that have touchscreens,you get that into a comfort zone of using them,that you start touching other synths with similar type screens thinking they have them also _________________ --Korg Nautilus~~Korg Modwave--Korg SV-1-Korg Wavestate-- |
