Did you want 88 key, any special features - blah blah blah. studiologic roland maudio (midiman) edirol yamaha evolution miditech Just to name a couple brands to look for. my 2 pentz -muzakal

JV1010 sounds fantastic. I own an XP80 (looking to dump it - might have to give it away or something - I'm trying to be creative about it) but if it wasn't for the sequencer and expansion slots, I could find no reservation for swapping for a JV1010 - if that's the only thing I was...

I'm a little out to lunch on this one. Never heard of a "beat maker" per se. I've heard people say they want to "make beats" which is a popular slogan for producing a particular genre of music. Using that same terminology, we could easily use this formula: making beats = production thus...

Depends on what you need, really. If you've already got sequencing capabilities, the JV1010 would be the way to go (provided you also have a controller of some kind as well) JV1010 includes session expansion board which is worth its weight in gold. XP-50 doesn't. You could always purchase...

I'll have to second that comment on the Motif/S90 scenario. Worth their weight in Gold. -muzakal

Well, I can definitely say that Yammie's manual isn't in english even though the words are. For this purpose, they've developed this site: http://www.motifator.com Where they cover this topic wonderfully. I would also recommend you picking up the DVD Manual (I, II, and III) But check out...

Here's my 2 pentz. Korg makes a pretty okay unit - but the keybed is plasticky and klunky. Reminds me too much of the Studiologic/Fatar keybeds (the more I play them, the more retarded I feel) Piano sounds okay. Acceptable for someone who purchased one and didn't know any better. Yamaha -...

This can actually be REALLY easy. P60 doesn't have independent outs, just headphone and midi. designed for the aspiring beginner, sounds good through headphones, but the internal speakers suck. same feel as the rest of the P series family - graded hammer action. But, if you're truly...

Thanks for getting back. I just ran into a previous thread where you post your equipment and a convenient photo. ;) Just out of curiosity, where did you/rareblend record the track? and where the heck are you located? 16 is young and loaded with potential. That's the same age I started...

Thought I'd throw 2 pentz in here. I had the opportunity to review the 603's and my conclusion was that they're fantastic for acoustic guitar, but as overheads they're upwards of the "better mediocre" range. Definitely the guitar player's microphones. Matched pair is the way to go. I ran...

Gunther, Not a must, but makes for great in some situations. Let me clarify and agree with Gunther that it's not necessary, however, many pre's (Avalon) for example have a certain ambience of coloration that can be desireable if used in certain situations. First thing that comes to mind are...

Roland 1680 recorder - a tried and true classic, but relatively old technology given what we have available today. Anyway, if you're recording your keyboard to the 1680, ideally you'd want to go direct, and if you can front a little extra investment, go through a preamp (if you're on a budget...

Actually, just got to thinking you should give me a couple hundred bucks and your XP30, and I'll give you my MP9000 controller/stage piano. :)

The XP30 is a very valuable piece of gear for what it is, but it really boils down to what you're feeling. A good 88 key midi controller - lots of them out there, the MP9500, Yamaha P80-120-200-250, and then of course the controllers with more balls like the RD700, S90, and on and on. Sample...

Technically speaking, that software could work, but it's not the ideal program for anything serious. More of a looping interface than anything else. -muzakal

Brian, Lots of resources on the web for the Trinity - check out this link: http://www.synthzone.com/korg.htm do a search (if you're using PC ctrl+f) for trinity, or just scroll down - OR, I'll just post some links here for you: http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/korgtrinityclub...

Turbo phatt's a great unit, and appears on a lot of records. Don't insult it by making your own music. (I'm kidding by the way) Well.. you've got your controller, midi'd via USB to your computer. You're successfully receiving the signal, which means all is good there. Next, you'll need to...

Bang for the buck, and all biases aside I would seriously consider purchasing the following: mo phatt module triton rack with EXB04 expansion or one of the XV modules with srx 05 expansion 'course all three would be powerful, but you want to keep in a certain budget. Now - to narrow it down...

I'll sell you mine as well. $900 and whatever shipping is out the door (couple of scratches, but in great condition - studio use only and appears on a couple of top 40's) -Muzakal

Wow - Mr. Sol are you with a production company? Would you like to be? (Sony affiliated) Humor me for a minute - what equipment are you working with? alright - done with my 20 questions. Hard to find good talent these days. -muzakal
