Besides Kronos, do you own other current Korgs?

QuiRobinez · Post by **QuiRobinez** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 8:38 pm

i use different korg gear in the studio, Kronos 88, Korg Karma, Korg Radias, Kaospad KP3+, Nanopad 2, King Korg

I've also had a Korg M3 but i sold that one because the kronos could easely replace it completely.

I've been a Korg fan since 1973. That was when I bought my first synthesizer. A Minikorg. My signature has a list of my keyboard arsenal. Yes. I DO suffer from GAS! However, I only take my Kronos 73 out to gig with.

As for writing, I like to write a lot of prog style songs which for me are somewhat classical in that the music quite often has a myriad of themes.

I'm classically trained as a pianist so I do know the difference. My point is that I don't find all the different sounds distracting from my writing. I did at first though. Now, I've got a handle on them so that I know where to go to get a particular flavour.

I would be very curious to see what so done would , come up with using classical themes and styles but with different textures then what are traditionly used.

It might not work at all but it could be a good exercise in sound and music.

AND it could be fun!

I still have my Trinity which I bought in 1998.

Kompozer why not find a used acoustic upright? Your style I think would suggest having a solid good sounding acoustic to compliment the Kronos. Just asking out of curiosity, because I have been drawn to an acoustic piano for a while.

Hey Joe, are you the famous Joe Gerardi that teamed up with Mike Lavoi some years ago ?

I've had the same thought, but it would not work for me right now. I live in a historic apartment building with strict noise rules, so headphones and small monitors are as loud as I can get for now.

JPWC -- Wow, what a list! Thanks for sharing.

I have a microKorg and the Legacy M1.

I am a bit ashamed. I had to sell all my vintage Korg gear to get an Oasys.
So all I have now is a Oasys 76, Kronos 61, Wavestation, and a Korg d32xd.
My list is anemic to JPWC's inventory.

I still have my M50 and my 01/Wr. Both of which I plan to match/convert/sample sounds to the Kronos and sell eventually.

I was incorrect in my naming - it's actually the "vintage analog" expansion card. It is a PCMCIA card that goes in the expansion slot in the back. It adds a "C" bank with a bunch of sounds that sound a lot warmer and more analog than the stock sounds. The card is really rare and I paid waaay to much for it on Ebay via an international sale when I found it (after almost a year of searching). Once I got in and started playing with it, I found a few cool presets I liked, but nothing I really couldn't recreate reasonably well with the Kronos.

I think there may actually be a sysex dump of it floating around the internet somewhere. If you track that down, you could replace either the A or B bank with it and check it out for yourself. I wish I would have known that before I shelled out what I did for it.
