The way I use the pads: For real-time sequencing of drum parts, to trigger RPPRs as simple arpeggiator alternative, and to trigger chord changes in Karma. The idea of using the pads and SysEx messages in an RPPR is also really interesting to me, but I haven't gotten around to fiddling with it yet. I ...

I'm going to second the comment about the Motif being harder to use. I've owned Yamaha, Roland, Kurzweil and Korg synths, and of all of them I had the hardest learning curves with Yahamas. They just aren't very intuitive for me -- so many odd abbreviations, overloaded screens, and non-intuitive (for ...

Indeed you can achieve this with karma, but i didn't understand why "it's not what he wants". it's exactly what he is asking for i believe, hold a chord with the pads and play another sound on the keys with full control and freedom of his hands. I don't have the korg next to me in order for me to ...

Unfortunately there's no latch mode with the pads.

Karma can latch the chord from the pads, but its not the same as what you're asking for.

well then do not buy it, for orchestral stuff it won't give you any enhancements. for arpeggiator you have karma... Agree. The EXB-Radias is all about synthetic sounds. I'm sure you could work it into an orchestral piece, but not as a realistic emulation of a traditional instrument. The EXB-Radias ...

In my experience, the M3 has one of the best aftertouch implementations I've played. Very controllable and less on/off than any keyboard I've owned or tried. My guess is that its not the same as the Triton (at least for the non-weighted models) because Korg redesigned the key bed for the M3. If its ...

McHale, these guys are using theirs in rooms without air conditioning. I think the additional heat coupled with the angled position could be causing problems with the liquid membrane that covers the LCD. Age of the unit could also be a factor. Doesn't seem that far-fetched to me. ANYTHING is ...

Sorry McHale, we differ on this. My tests led me to conclude gravity was the main factor. What solved my problem was laying the unit flat. And that was the only thing that solved it. That's what worked on YOURS. Mine has been at a 45 degree angle (or more) since it was purchased new and I leave ...

Just like the Triton series, I guess there is no fingered portamento, that is what is missing, as for the time or rate? I guess as with the Triton it would be time. No, that's not correct. M3 does support fingered portamento, assuming you mean portamento that only happens when you play legato. I ...

If it has to be rate-based then you're out of luck. But it does everything else -- mono-legato with portamento. Frankly, I usually prefer rate-based too, but time-based is not that big of a compromise for me.

I think your friends are mistaken. You can set a EXB-Radias program to mono, single-trigger mode (on the Program Basic page) which is the same thing as mono-legato, then on the OSC Pitch page you can set the portamento time and curve. The only limitation that I see is that portamento doesn't support ...

I'll weigh with a little different perspective. Being able to expand the sample palette is one of the most attractive things about workstations IMO. If you don't like your synth's take on the ultimate organ sound (or whatever) you have the option of importing or sampling a different one. Otherwise ...

If you think about it, even from the GUI - you are filtering what is being received, not being sent. That's actually not the case. You're filtering what is sent as well. The Parameter Guide says, "On (checked): Transmission and reception of MIDI data is enabled." However, there is one part you are ...

If you filter out CC1 by checking the checkbox for slider5, the 'JS+Y' controller is still 'open', which in this case is also CC1. So effectively you are not filtering it out. This is what I would consider a bug or at least a defective design. The way it should work IMO is that the slider no longer ...

My degree is in computer science and I've been working in high tech software for 22 years. I'm not so bad on the tech side myself. But like I said, I don't doubt the behavior is as you described. I just think that the behavior is wrong. If you have a GUI and a manual that implies or explicitly ...
