Korg Forums

I'm looking for any issues of Korg's ProView magazine. Either in paper format (better) or scanned (digital). Anyone have any? This was a free magazine that you got from music instrument stores. I had a couple but threw them out long ago. It was a total promo piece, but some had cool cover stories on ...

I've had my padKontrol for almost 10 years (bought in 2007), and I've happily used it to play drum and beat-making plug-ins like MOTU's BPM. I love the feel of the pads. I've used it with a power supply, a Roland 9V charger originally meant for a one of their MIDI keyboards, and it's worked fine ...

Watching this, I can't help but think: "This is what's wrong with music today" There's no melody, any harmony is vague at best; it's all technology, sound and beats.

...surely there is no viable future for the Kronos/Fantom/Motif type workstation any more? You're forgetting the live players. They (we, me) are probably the primary uses of "workstations" as purely live instruments in various genres. Turn on a TV, watch a talk show, and there's a guy with the same ...

Did Yamaha even bother to turn up at MusikMesse? What saddens me most about the demise of Yamaha as a synthesizer innovator is not that they no longer innovate in any way or in the ways that only they uniquely can; nor is it that they do not give a damn about that loss or a damn about their own ...

At those prices I'm more than impressed! Bravo, Korg! :-D I'm not. $500 is too much for a 49-key MIDI controller, even with "bonus sounds" (and that's what they are). Especially one that has the keybed of a Krome (a.ka poor), and: Only one timbre. The 512 presets cannot be overwritten. Any changes ...

Question Is the Triton Rack still worth your while to buy, or is it hopelessly dated (like I fear)? You can get one on eBay for peanuts, and I've considered it. The 32MB WaveROM does seem quite, ahem, "humble", when compared to the multi-gigabyte Komplete software packages of today (especially ...

How are they able to do these vintage keyboard banks, when the Krome doesn't support added waveforms? Doesn't it mean, that it already has those "Lore", "Universe" waveforms in there (which means they are masters of recycling them decades after :D), and these are just reprogrammed patches that are ...

To all who say the Kronos is this, that and the other, unreliable, etc... If top musicians choose to have one on stage, and live to tell the tale, then surely it must be reliable enough ! Next thing you know, some people here are going to start calling Brittani Washington and Rie Tsuji fan girls ...

Hopefully the 4th is a charm. I'm in the same situation, hoping that with my FORTH attempt, I'll get a working board. 1st Kronos returned - keybed issue 2nd Kronos returned - keybed issue 3rd Kronos X returned - fan noise issue I've ordered another Kronos X, which should arrive this week. All units ...

The only thing I would like to get rid of is the noisy fan. Hmm...so the fan is still an issue? Is it worse in the X61? The replacement works fine, but it has what sounds like a loose screw rattling around *inside* of the keyboard. It's a fine keyboard, but there is definitely a quality control ...

If you need synth action: Buy a Novation Keyboard, Monitor, Macmini and some NI Synth & Piano stuff. It's cheaper and more versatile. I would do it if I had a second chance. I think something got lost in translation. "Synth action" means non-weighted keyboard action, and only the 61 has it. It ...

*up* I know this was a troll thread, but the topic fits and I don't want to start a new one because I just want a clear answer on the following: I'm interested in possibly buying a Kr X 61 - is this a safe bet? Are there any known issues or problems with these "new" Kronoses? And especially the 61 ...

I wouldn't mind seeing a "Best of Triton" set come to the Kronos. Lots of classic patches that I still like a tad better on the Triton, even when trying to hand-convert over from Hi to HD. I'm still wondering how they did it on the Krome? I mean, they must be re-programmed "sound-alikes", since the ...

The Q701s receive a bit of a mixed response from people, it might be worthwhile to read some of Amazon's reviews: http://tinyurl.com/ady7c4s The problem with AKGs in general is that the sound is often really flat and neutral, often there isn't any bass to speak of. I'm not talking about needing a ...
