IX300 use as a multitimbral sound source

I have quite a good offer for a short time in which I could acquire IX300. I see that it has 14mb of waveforms, which is excellent, but its multi/combi mode capabilities are quite uncertain since it does not have combi mode at all. The manual indicates that it sends and receives on all 16 MIDI ...

Thomann does not have any Krome anymore. I am waiting for some interesting development concerning the successor.

Looking at the previous ways they have brought out lower end boards with Kronos sound engines (Grandstage, Vox Continental), I would guess that any Kronos-derived board below Nautilus would lose the rewritable SSD aspect (i.e. the ability to add new sample libraries, or at least streaming ones, and ...

It literally says, "out of production". Yay! It's getting hot. I can hardly wait what will Korg bring out. Probably in a short time, for the Christmas sale. I dream of the Nautilus ROM section with full sequencer and half of the sample RAM or Flash capabilities or even quarter would do, 512MB for ...

A few questions for seasoned TR users

I'm thinking of buying Korg TR synth, 61 or 76, but I have to clear a few things concerning the use of it. 1. Korg TR has only one insert effect, meaning to say, in Combi or Sequencer mode you can use only one Program sound with full effects. Is it possible to cure the situation by sampling the TR ...

To the best of my knowledge the sequenced files are not interchangeable, not even between the instruments of the same brands.

Concerning the sounds, effects implementation, and editing possibilities, they are 100% identical. Other functions, however, give a clear advantage to the keyboard version: it has a very capable sequencer, and the import and export of the sequences and sounds are done over the floppy disc. Obtaining ...

Roland FA-06 or FA-07 (more robust). Also FA-08 for 88 keys.

M3 and M50 have the very same PCM material, to the point that they are 100% compatible. If you are after the best sound, choose one of them. Be mindful that M50 has far worse keys than M3 and no sampling function. Kross has samples of lower quality compared to the above mentioned. For PS60 I hope ...

Thank you Harry, I much appreciate your input. Definitively something is bad with the keybed. But the guy that is selling it is 150 kilometers away, and I already made 300 km today just to look at it. I think I am going to pass it this time.

Thank you again, all the best! :)

M50-73 - vibrating keys after release

I was about to score a M50-73 for a fair price, but upon trying it I realized that not all keys have the same resistance, the upper octave having considerably less resistance. Also, upon release - when you press them to the bottom and let them spring back they vibrate for about 2 seconds, to the ...

How do you fare with only 5 insert effects?

Heavily considering buying an M3, but my biggest fear is that I would have only 5 sounds in the multitimbral settings working properly since that is the number of the insert effects which greatly influences and shapes the sound. I need an M3 to be my sole keyboard for my composing projects, synth ...

If I would need to single one product it has to be M1. Look at its appearance and compare it to what was available in 1988. It was from another world. Big, sleek, minimalistic working area, with proper LCD screen and sound that has beaten everything else in that point of time; it was a revolution ...
