The Triton is another in a long line of Korg successes. When I say the KARMA wasn't a commercial success, I meant that I don't think it sold in numbers like the Triton. I'm surprised that Korg has kept it as long as they have. In talking to the sales people in my local GC and Sam Ash, I always...

The simple answer to your question is "Yes". :) Of course, things are never simple in MIDIland. I don't know your equipment specifically. The easiest way to find out what your gear is capable of is to look at the back of the manuals and review the MIDI implementation charts for each. I...

Cloneboy- I agree as well! I've been playing piano for over 40 years. (Ugh! That's depressing to admit.) There is nothing like hearing great musicians playing. And there is no substitute for developing chops and learning theory. But, that's the great thing about music isn't it? There are a...

Not sure why you dislike the KARMA, Cloneboy, especially since your posts make it clear that you've spent little or no time with it. I can't tell if you think you have some legitimate beef with it or if you're just baiting those of us who feel passionately about it. Either way, let me just make...

Well, this has been talked about a zillion times, but why not a zillion and one? ;) The Soundblaster is NOT a good card for audio recording. The mic pre-amp on the card is not designed for anything beyond a cheap little mic that people use for online chatting. Assuming that you have everything...

I've never thought Yamaha's gear was priced any higher than Roland or Korg. The ES6 is around $2000.00. The Triton Extreme 61 is $1900.00 and the Roland Fantom X6 is also $2000.00. BTW, I think the ES series sounds great! Very clean! I got the rack Motif which is very nice, but playing the ES...

You think 1% of us are going to have Aerosmith for a client?? :p I think you could safely change that percentage to 100%! :D Sadly, all the rest of it was excellent advice. "Sadly", because it's realistic and doesn't hold out a lot of hope for people who want to start out in the world of...

Perhaps one of the hardest things to do is to explain what a KARMA is and isn't or what it's capable of. I think that is the one reason that, in spite of some wonderful reviews, it never really took off in terms of sales (or maybe it's that strange reddish, maroon color?). Unfortunately, some...

You only get one chance to make a first impression. You blew yours with me big time. My judgement was based on your statements, so I would suggest that you choose better in the future. Just to point out the obvious reasons why your attempt to rehabilitate your original post fall flat- First...

Cool! I didn't find that before! I'm glad that you're right. That adds a tremendous value to the KARMA! Cloneboy, sometimes you really have no idea what you're talking about. Kurzweil offers nothing remotely approaching what the KARMA can do. Knowing what I know of you, I'm sure you figure...

Ok, we're all about trying to help newbies here, but I think it's time you started to do a little research. I'll give you definitions, but you're going to have to make an effort to learn what it all means. GM= General MIDI MFX= MIDI Effects Cubase SX= Steinberg's premiere sequencing product...

Hi! And Welcome! Just to throw out another option- and one that can be a real help to someone who isn't technically inclined- have you considered an all-in-one hard disk recorder? The prices of these have fallen considerably over the last few years and an 8 track unit can be purchased for a few...

Cloneboy gets a little carried away sometimes! Seriously man, maybe you just shouldn't come into the Newbies forum because it always seems to upset you! :) He has a point though. I got flamed a bit yesterday for responding negatively to someone who was unwilling to spend a little of THEIR...

Are you looking for a hardware MIDI controller? If so, getting 16 faders will be expensive. You might consider THIS. 8 faders freely assignable and 8 encoders and 16 buttons! You can also chain multiple units. There was a lot of buzz surrounding these when they were announced, but I haven't...

Well, first of all we're talking about VIDEO cards not soundcards. Don't know if you were referring to my post with regards to the cards not being dual head, but here's a link to one vendor with the card I use- http://www.bzboyz.com/store/product4493.html. That was the first one that came up...

Why wouldn't you trust Yamaha? I've never had a lick of trouble with anything I've bought from them and they have a solid reputation. Ted

I must be dense. If you want to play the keyboard and hear the sounds, why do you need a computer? It's got it's own speakers even! I know I'm not understanding what you're asking. :confused: Ted

Atterion- With all due respect, I think you are confusing the version 2.0 operating system with the MW software. Nowhere can I find anything that says the MW software is included. From Samash.com: "What's New In OS 2? Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it does. OS Version 2.0...

I know a lot of SONAR users are using Matrox cards for this purpose, I don't remember the number. I got a Radeon 9200SE which wasn't too expensive. You don't need top-tier performance since the video demands aren't comparable to gaming. Ted

Kryptik Chewie indeed! It's hard work getting you to give us information. OK, from your last post it sounds like you want a program that will help you create drum patterns? Is that correct? One plug-in I use is Music Labs Slicy Drummer. You can download a demo HERE. But this requires a host...
