Thinking about Roland AX synth and eventual KORG rival

Post by popcorn »

I asked Jerry 6-7 years ago, what will be if KORG place the engine of MicroKorg inside of Korg RK100 body or similar...I can remember Jerry's exact answer, I can't find my back posts from 2002 or 2003 year here, but as I remember he told me that RK-100 architecture and Microkorg are quite diferent.
I think that there are a lot of people who look after keytars and the prove are the cosmic prices at ebay for the likes as RK100, AX-1 especially after wireless midi is not a problem these days ...But the real keytar synths among them till now are only the MOOG Liberation and eventually SH-101 (semi Keytar -Ha-Ha), and now AX become a synth too....
I think it is not a question for entusiasts only, cause I am playing in a blues band on stage and in the clubs with my RK100 and AX and the look of the band without keyboard stand was never discussed by the audience.They never said we look weird... some of you know my other love is electronic music where I am looking weird on stage for sure :lol: :lol:

So, my question for Jerry and respectivelly Korg is, is it a good idea to release a keytar with the feel of RK which is better than Roland (even it is without velocity keyboard- which could become dynamic) , but with new synth engine as Micro X or something...There will be an interest from many life musicians, I think!

Thanx!
