I just love the way they look, especially all those knows
screaming to be twiddled. :) and they sound real good too.
Anybody on the board has K4-K5 or K-station or played around
with it? Is it really worth the price?
The remote25 midicontroller is also quite impressive but I
guess you can use one of the synths in the exact same
manner.

I love the K machines, the amount of times i've 'demoed' one
of those in the shop is a large amount :)

LOL, I always feel guilty asking to demo stuff in store
knowing full well I have no intention of buying it/can't
afford to. I sometimes need to demo stuff to get the
willpower to save up for it though...

Either of you got experience of the Evolution Pro Controller 61? I'm
considering getting one as
a) I'm awful at keyboard and hoping this will inspire me to
learn to plaly better.
b)I'll be able to score better.
c) It has rotary controllers on board so I can use keyboard
and midi remote at the same time.
d) I don't want an oxygen keyboard as I've heard they're not
very good.
e) Not too expensive
f) I just want midi- not something that can make its own
sounds...

Worth the money?

I personally think so, i'm gonna get one of those for my
laptop very very soon.

It's both USB and Midi compatabile and there are rated very
highly, the fact they have knobs on is even better so you
dont have mess around with the mouse on the computer

I rate 'em Ceri

Cool, I think it has eclipsed my need for a scratch mixer
:)

I like the fact it's usb too- means I can use my existing
midi controller on my midi port at the same time (31
assignable controllers that way!)/on my other PC.

Any idea what the build quality is like? I know they're not
metal, but do they feel solid and robust? I dislike fragile
feeling music equipment...

I know that demoing trick. :)
It's a real dillema. Due to special discount, it's possible
to buy a K4 for about ¤900. The discount ends next week. If
I go for this one, it means I have to wait a while to get my
laptop setup. Maybe I should start hitting on some richer
women. :)

I know the feeling- seeing something discounted/cheap 2nd
hand and buying it even if you can't really afford to as you
know it will be more expensive in a couple of months time
:/

He he, time to marry a wealthy widow with a terminal disease
methinks ;)

i have the a station which is really impresive. a little
cheaper than the k station. same sounds + more polyphony,
just no keyboard and rack mounted.
