Antony, nice to see you active here.
I wrote you an email some time ago, regarding buying some of your products. Unfortunately I don't like the idea of being limited to one developer, as I like my kreative freedom to be intact. So I was wondering, isn't it possible to buy only the instruments that I think my style of music could benefit from??
- I agree, that (sometimes) you get what you paid for. Giving the fact that I paid the same for a PA3x, as a Kronos costs - I would expect Korg to develop some professional sampled resources, but that's a whole other story.
I really liked the products I've heard from your link, but when I'm not playing greek music, I think you would benifit from also selling your more western samples. The prices seem overly heavy, if I'm only gonna use less than half of the instruments. Otherwise NICE WORK!!
Deanspy, thats exactly why I posted that topic. Cause it seems to be alot of focus on styles, but no style will sound better than a midi-file If your instrument only uses GM-instruments. So instead of focusing on the styles, why not make the styles sound awesome with some nice (realistic) instruments? So I also was trying to hear which kind of resources other korgies where using, but seems like that intention didn't came out public (thanks for noticing)
Michagi, I heard musicians saying turn that stupid piano down in a style, when infact the style-track playing was an accoustic guitar. So for soloing, some of the instruments seems okay - but if you want to sound like a live band (which in my terminology is the meaning) with an arranger, you need sampled instruments. Just my personal humble oppinion. The sampler is a substancial reason that I chose the Pa3x as my arranger keyboard. So YES, I think a SMALL part of the factory sounds in the PA3x sounds like realistic/(professional) instruments. However, I've heard worse arrangers!
