Korg Forums

I'm seeking an arranger mostly for drums/perc in home studio. Just played the i3 recently and was surprised at how good the kits sound (Triton era I gather). I can afford the PA1000 but I'm wondering if either of the PA models currently available (and they're not all that available) are too much ...

Hi...I am currently playing the Korg Kross 61 and enjoying its sounds but not the navigation/UI. I know the PA series a little bit but just read about the Kaoss effects/arpeggiator grid and am now considering the 1000. How easy is it to set up an arp pattern? Do those who use them like them better ...

I've been playing a friend's i3 (2020 reboot) for a bit and am very impressed w/ the soundset. nice drum kits and decent bread and butter sounds. I know the sell on the i3 is the UI -- it's easy! but the i3 sounds have me wondering about the newer Korg arrangers. wondering how the latest ones (700 ...

found out the answer to my query above. of course that's *after* snagging an i3 used. I'm impressed with the board in many ways -- that Triton soundset might be aged but it still works. the i3 can't seem to act as a MIDI master clock. my other gear did not recognize it, and there are only Internal ...

Just read the manual and the Midi info is sketchy. I want to just send the tempo (midi clock Internal, at the tempo set on i3) to another instrument. But I don’t want the i3 to send anything else (note data, program change info etc.) Is this possible?

I guess I can't be surprised that the kits are "fixed" to the styles....still that's a shame.

thank you.

hi...after years away from arrangers I'm debating between Kross and the EK 50 L. had a Kross years ago and liked it except for the menu-diving. the flow of the EK series looks a lot better, and from the video examples I'm impressed with the detailed drum/perc patterns. even via YouTube they sound ...

does the XD arpeggiator work in similar fashion to the one on Microkorg?

ie, can you adjust the steps to create polyrhythm, etc? it looks from the videos like it's more a linear sequencer.

thanks in advance....

I'm looking for a synth with an arpeggiator like the Microkorg, where it's easy to adjust the last step to create polyrhythm, mayhem, etc. I can't tell from looking at front panel (or a quick scan of the manual) if this Pro 8 works like that. I don't think the minilogue xd does. are there others in ...

something I hadn't considered -- the voices that use multiple slots in MODX would need to have the insert effects lined up somehow.

and agreed, the Korg method is much better for creating and developing a new sound.

thanks Burningbusch....

I found that w/ Krome too. but often I would forget about the need for that step and only discover my error after building a few tracks (!). I use the Program mode to survey sounds and really like being able to know what the sound w/ factory effect is all about. say whatever about Yamaha but that's ...

that's very helpful.
I get the why of it but sure wish it was easier....otherwise the Nautilus looks great.
thank you.....

Just glanced at the manual but couldn't find this: Does anyone know if the Nautilus makes you do the ritual of "Copy Effects from Program" each time you build a layer/split or combi?

this is one of those arcane steps that we just shouldn't have to do in 2021!

thanks in advance....

does the KK have a "Key Hold" feature?

I want to sustain a chord and not an arpeggio. my current sustain pedal is not working in either polarity setting, hoping there's a workaround.

thanks in advance for any insights.....

to record a 4-measure riff (using the style parts, or perhaps not) and then loop those four measures indefinitely? with no gaps? lots of arrangers have full sequencers (looks like i3 does) but for some Yamaha ones, they sometimes insert a short pause between repeats. thanks in advance for any/all ...
