i was in the same boat - shopping for a first "keyboard" - i learned much of the same stuff as peaople are saying our here - cant really get a good one for under $500, avoid any that have built-in speakers - lol. anyway, i ended up getting a roland rs-5 new on sale for $580 and i'm pretty...

well i ended up getting the rs-5 ($580) btw, where i mentioned $200 was where i said i didnt want to get a plain keyboard without any sounds. the best price i found on karma was around $1600 - for someone like me just starting out (and forced to admit to a limited budget), the rs-5 seemed a...

after shopping extensively for a $600-$700 keyboard/synth/workstation i keep coming back to how cool the karma ($1800) sounds and feels and plays. i know there are some purists that knock the karma cuz its so easy to just push a button and get everything going that a monkey could play it -...

well, i was told that with the MIDI connections, i could still use the roland rs5 to play samples and soft synths, so the lack of ability to add expansion boards is not such a limitation. a local store has a sale going and i can get the rs5 for $600 (compared to $695 normal price) - i almost...

ok, so i guess the roland rs5 does not accept expansion boards (why oh why couldnt roland have included this capability?), but i'm wondering if its that important. can't you just hookup the rs5 to your computer and use the keyboard to play sounds from a soft synth or a sampler? i was kind...

oh, and by the way, i couldnt find the trinity (korg?) anywhere - i'm assuming it's been discontinued (in favor of the triton?) - it would be interesting if there was a triton-sounding option in the $600-$700 range.

i got turned on to a roland rs5 in another forum and it looks pretty good - i think i'm narrowing my choice down between it and the alesis qs6.1, but probably favoring the roland because of appegiation (cant believe the qs6.1 doesnt have this) - and the roland looks cooler too. tomorrow, i'll...

thanks for the suggestions - i'm a little confused because longwave sez to get a cheap controller and krakit sez to get a quality controller - are you both defining a controller in the same way? is it just a keyboard to control a module, or is it something more?

i decided that i wanted the feel of a real keyboard to go with my DAW - also started thinking about getting some new sounds to play with (synthesizer) and the ability to sample (even tho i could do this with software) (as a minimum i'd need the keyboard to be able to play samples i make myself)...

well u can go crazy on subtle differences. im testing both of these - the 7506 seem to sound alittle brighter and louder - the v600 seem more comfortable. then they seem to switch places - lol. a guy at sony told me that the v600 replaced the older v6 and that the 7506 were replaced by both...

i'll pipe in here in support of the, shall we say, "system integrators". i'm based in the USA, but i saw the same thing - almost double for what i paid compared to an off-the-shelf pc. but......the off-the-shelf didnt quite have what i wanted, and maybe worse yet, it was loaded with a bunch...

thanx lD - that makes sense to me. btw - what program do you use/like? i downloaded a demo of acid pro 2.0 cuz the guy that built my system raved about it, but it doesnt appear to be multi-track. i also downloaded ntrack and i will be trying that tonite. finally, i've played around with...

can anyone tell me how to set up the patch bay so that i can record a wav file from my hard drive into a track? also, i want to record from my turntable onto tracks - should i run a cable from the phones jack on my stereo amplifier into one of the front inputs on the direct pro? maybe these...

blue sky - u can download a CDFS.vxd file which is essentially an alternative cd-rom driver that allows u to access tracks on a cd as wav files. go to the direct pro technical support page for the link. it works. lorddiagram - how do u do it? also, duz anyone know how to set up the patch bay...

well, i dont know why, but that link didnt work either when i tried it from the post above. just put "drastiksolutions" into the address box on yer browser and it will give u search results that will take u to the site. (the carillon link -from the very first post in this thread - did work for...

try this one: http://www.drastiksolutions.11net.com sorry, i didn't have the exactly correct URL. and yes, yer rite - the support that these guys can offer is their biggest service. i called justin at drastik late ona friday nite and he was there and able to walk me thru my problem. when he...

hey jim - i just had a pro assemble my machine for me and im pretty pleased with it. the guy is at http://www.drastiksolutions.com and he beat all other USA-based competitors that i could find. and if i have my dollars-to-pounds conversion correct he beat carillion (who started this thread) as...

i'm brand new at this, so dont take this as expert advice (actually i'm expecting someone to tell me why i'm all wet) but i picked the aardvark direct pro 24/96 for my sound card mainly cuz i needed the mic preamps and i heard so many good things about the sound quality and the shielding on this...

duz anyone know the difference between the sony 7506 and the sony mdr-v-600 ?? the v600 seem close to the same price ($100) and specs (40mm drivers).

um - nobody has answered the original question of this thread. what the heck are these sony mdr-v600 cans? i'm in the exact same boat as the original post - i have a pair of the v600 still wrapped up and ready to go back to the store if someone can tell me that they are not as good as the 7506...
