Korg Forums

Hi everyone, I was just wondering, which downloadable patches can I use on the X50? Will ones compatible with the Triton/TR- series work or do I need X50 specific ones? Thanks much!

I was just offered a Korg X50 and stand for $500 CDN. Does this sound like a good deal for what I'm hoping will fill the empty top slot in my keyboard rack? Is it a good price? I play mostly power metal - Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Children of Bodom, etc. Just wondering what your recommendations ...

Great to hear! Where did you pick that one up? We're in the same province here

Thanks for the suggestions, I may make a trip soon to one of those locations! However, I have a new dilemna: I found out that the Korg M3-61 is $800 less than the M3-73, and I realized, for less than the difference in price, I could get an 88-key MIDI controller and get both synth action (with the ...

I've recently decided to buy a Korg M3, but I live in Canada and my options seem very expensive compared to what my neighbours in the US can get. For instance, http://www.axemusic.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=18&P_ID=16552&PT_ID=120 gives me a Korg M3-73 for almost $2800 CDN + shipping, but I ...

Wow, that's tempting. Hmm. I like.

Should have bought the M3 when I was at WWBW yesterday...!

So I've been looking for a reasonable keytar. Now I know the Roland Ax-1 and Ax-7 are the best options, but they've gotten so pricey lately. What about an alternative, like the Yamaha SHS-10? Anyone have any experience with it or others?

Maybe a used Triton??

Would it be better or worse than say, a Karma? I have an option to buy one of those locally as well, including EXB PCM-01, a stand, adapters, Chemistry sounds, two pedals, etc. for more around $1000. P.S. I'm also concerned that this thing will be too dance-oriented for my tastes...I don't perform ...

If I were to find a good price on a Korg Karma, is there any reason I should jump on it, even with all of the newer synths available? Are the sounds noticeably lower in quality than modern synths? I'm just curious...with my budget of around $2000, would it be a waste to pick up a Karma instead of ...

I would agree with the Karma idea, but I forgot to mention that the synth had a grey body, not the Karma burgundy - did they make Karmas without it? But it could be a Karma...I don't know.

Any opinions on the Yamaha CS6X? There's one for sale locally for $475. I know nothing about this synth...

I have pictures, but none of them really show enough of the synth. You can only really see the backlight...

Well, I know he's used Kurzweil 2500/2600 series, Korg Tritons and Karmas, and of course his Roland AX-1/7...but I've never seen this beast! I wonder what it could be....?

Ok, so I was at a Sonata Arctica concert last night, and I'm trying to identify one of the synths Henrik was using (for any who know them, not his Roland AX-7/1 keytar). Anyways, this synth had a small, maybe 2x4 inch orange backlit screen (might be the most unique feature), about 5 faders/sliders ...
