I also have some things (a little simple) in soundcloud, then I share the link. I hope you like it. regards

very nice ! Listened to several songs. Your mixing and instrument clarity is top notch.
I enjoyed your piano work on Melodia ... Is this an original ? I am more interested in originals these days. Anyway, the songs sound new to my ears.
I admired the guitar in Hey Jude. I have struggled to get realistic Kronos guitars. Interested in the details of the acoustic guitar source.
Peaceful Planet is a personal favorite. I always wanted to create a ' world fusion ' instrumental. Something different to the ears here in the US. Peter Gabriel impressed me how he brought in world instruments and musicians into his recordings from 1980 thru 2000.

Hello Greg, thank you very much for your words. as for "Melodia Dolannes" it is from a French composer named Paul de Senneville, and Richard Clayderman has played it on piano. I also made a video of the song on Youtube. the guitar that you listen to in Hey Jude is a "Flamenco Guitar" of the S970. this repertoire has been recorded with several keyboards for example: Cumbia del Papagayo was made more than 20 years ago in the Korg 01W / fd, A Swingin Safari - Korg Pa900, Mix of Joropo - Korg Pa900, and the rest of songs with the Yamaha PSR - S970. for this I created part of the MIDI sequences mixing some styles of the keyboards, and finally vocate them in the audio recorder of the same keyboard (except cumbia del papagayo, which was dumped in a recording studio) I share several Youtube links where you can See me Playing Greetings.

I just hope Korg stay at the true Workstation forefront and not be a follower of Yamaha and Roland to try to make their next Workstation or flagship keyboard without the Multi Sampling full blown sampler feature and then on top of that try to raise the price.
Honestly, I think i would stop buying new workstations and keep my old ones for the next 20 years if Korg or the others ever stopped including a full blown sampler in these higher priced keyboards. The sounds I got in the Kronos and the other Roland/Yamaha workstations I bought years ago could last me until the end of the world.
I buy the latest keyboards on innovation, new sound creation possibilities, new features and not just a repackaging of a few more sounds in a newly redesigned box for another $3000 to $4000 every other year. |

Frankly, I'm not sure if the present Korg management is up to the challenge of any workstation task.

This is what my tea leaves predict.
Korg is in a comfort zone making the $500-$900 synths.
I bet they have sold hundreds of thousands of them.
In addition, they have redirected their R & D to develop these
entry level products.
I think it takes sophisticated R & D and high level programming to develop
a new class +$3000 W/s.
And I have to question if all this high level talent is still in place as if it were 2009 ?
Korg has been made changes in senior mgmt , and you can see that in their new products the past 3-4 years.
I could be wrong. But I think these are the correct questions or assertions, if you will.
To make decent guess work, starts with determining the right questions

I was saying the same thing about Roland 1 week ago. How times change.

It is funny. But co's like Korg and Yamaha seem to be on a 10 year ' flag ship '
mind set.
Even so, I admire Yamaha for getting the MODX out in our hands last October.
That was an excellent move, IMO.
Now Roland did the FA. Kind of a limited w/s, but very capable.
That was 5--6 years ago.
And Fantom is a big step forward. I believe Roland listens to its buyers.
I know some dislike Roland, they have a reason or 2.
Its time for Korg to show their hand- assuming they have been planning and
a new concept premium keyboard is a priority for Korg's upper management.
I am not referring to a slightly better Kronos, or incremental Kronos 3.
