, just the old one repackaged I think. Thinking of selling my ms2000r, might get one of these babies instead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i must admit, that is goodlookin. i have a thing for big knobs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'll love then. |
||||||||
|

i did a lol at this You asked for it. Your band asked for it. Your clients asked for it. Your mom practically asked for it. |

How muchfor the ms2000000 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's the rack version, probably £175 + postage. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so it is polyphonic too, sweet. i bet its like 1500 bucks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
doubt it, more like £350 tops |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The original was polyphonic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Supposedly it looks ugly. I really like the 70's lounge ep/radio look. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know for a fact it sounds like shit, tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounds like the ms2000, which sounds great, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
microkorgs are for posers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
That thing looks wicked, i bet those keys feel like real piano ones in some way, heavy and all. Though, it needs more knobs to warm Fahz0r's cockle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Judging by the name I thought it was going to have bigger keys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It could have more grunt at the bottom end, but it's nice for pads and (some) leads. The vocoder is SHIT, 8 bands isn't near enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's one of the reasons I went for the ms2000r over the original microKORG, the ms2000 having a 16 band vocoder. The new microkorg has 16 bands according to the . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the new microKORG uses the MMT sound engine, which is used in the M3 and Radias (i believe) or at least that's what the specs lead us to think....the fact that the product page doesn't actually give us any definitive details (polyphony, timbrality) and that it says "specs subject to change" is a bit....well, shit. considering it's due "early 2009" you'd have thought they'd know what kind of specs they'll be putting out. i would hope that since it's supposed to be a successor to the microKORG that it would have at least 16 note poly, and 4 part multitimbrality (and i mean proper multitimbral, not just using two timbres in layer mode like on the original microKORG) but then again, you do have to think that they need to distinguish the models enough to have incentive to buy the bigger brother (M3 or Radias).....ok, well at least having two part multitimbrality (no shitty layer mode) sorry, i'm rambling and not in the best of moods anyways, my points are still valid sieg heil |

Ah that's better... mind I'll still stick to my Alesis Ion's 40 Band :) |

Any synth with a "Genre" and "Cathegory" dial hurts my feelings... It's not a synth when you can not turn the respective knobs to create a sound that you, the user, want. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

How about I take of your hands, no charge! You'll no longer be burdened by Magic Keyboards! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it looks really nice if you want everyone to know that you made your music using a microKORG... because that's what happens when you play a damn microKORG in your music. Everybody knows. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can actually edit the sounds it's just that the microKORG is generally marketed to the beginner, and as a consequence has it's presets categorized |
||||||||
|
|

That, my acid friend, is true |
||||||||

the microkorg sucks a lot |

People say the same about FL Studio yet people still use it. |

We can all master rigid GUI software like FL Studio or Reason, but the music will only be made on a certain tier of intellectual capacity. In order to supersede the conventions of these programs, one must make their own software to suit their needs perfectly (as with SuperCollider or Csound or ChucK). People use things like the microKORG and FL Studio because it's easy for uninformed people to make "cool sounds" without knowing what the hell they're doing. And even if they know what they're doing, they will only be able to accomplish so much, and should rather be spending their efforts with higher-minded applications. |

That's great if you like to use half finished open source crap that you spend so much time getting it to run you never make any music. Or if you do it sounds like a refrigerator. Professionals use software that costs money because the programers put value in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. MS2000's sound like ass. They sound like a casio that you can edit presets on. |
||||||||

Your a wanker. |

I got through 2 sounds on the demo video and concluded it sounds like shit, which isn't surprising considering I hated the original microKORG. I suppose beginners would probably love this thing, and there's nothing wrong with that. Everybody starts somewhere. |

Have you ever used SuperCollider before? Calling it half-finished is just as absurd as calling Max/MSP half-finished. It's the easiest software to make music that I've ever used. The only reason your music would sound like a "refrigerator" (?) with SuperCollider is if you programmed it that way. That's the beauty of SuperCollider - it does exactly what you tell it to do - it does exactly what you want. It weeds out the inspired from the imitators. A lot of "professionals" have used SuperCollider - Richard D. James, Anthony Braxton, Ikue Mori, and Tom Jenkinson to name a few. RDJ has even gone so far as to make his own SC-like software. Is he not a professional? People who don't get the results they want on software like SC can only blame themselves, hence the greatness of the application. I can get weird sounds to come out of Reason in three minutes, but that requires no real thought process, and I feel extremely limited by its interface. And I'm not alone. I like freedom in my software - is that such a bad thing? |

It's the easiest software to make music that I've ever used. seconds later: I can get weird sounds to come out of Reason in three minutes, but that requires no real thought process Then it logically follows that SC requires even less "real thought process", whatever that means. |

Someone should make a move of experimental electronic musicians thinking and typing. A silent movie, so we can appreciate the pure thought process, but without all the annoying clicking and static that comes with it. |

Wasn't this thread about the microKorg... |

TroutMask, all kidding and flaming aside - of course SC et al are wonderful, but what do you expect using phrases like "on a certain tier of intellectual capacity" "higher-minded applications" "It weeds out the inspired from the imitators" "that requires no real thought process" This attitude is the hallmark of the twat. You sound like you could be an interesting chap if you exorcise your unfortunate faith in the dichotomy between high and low art, and high and low instruments. Conlon Nancarrow used a player piano. John Cage used radios, for fuck sake. Stop prancing around like you're balancing a stack of parthenons on your mortarboard. |

I'm dying to hear some of troutmasks music now. |

you can on his webpage. just as a thought. nothing that backs up his big mouth. |

I say the microkorg is just a preset machine like every other mainstream instrument nowadays made for people who can either use it for interesting music or whatever else music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then you're wrong it's not just a preset machine it's completely and fully tweakable |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, a lot of people use the presets and the presets only, but half of them suck. You can get some pretty nice patches out of it when you start making your own. |

Thanks for listening! It's appreciated. =) |

I never said people couldn't do great things with FL Studio and the like. I just said that you can do BETTER and MORE with a different type of software program. If you can do incredible things with GUI software, like Venetian Snares, that's great and I applaud you for it. But people like Nick Collins can do even better with software that is almost theoretically limitless in capability. I never meant to disrespect those who choose to work with software that requires conformity to an interface, and I do apologize for making it seem to be that way. It's all about the music in the end, I suppose? =) |
