I’m finding some of my Korg styles a bit too busy, so trying to dumb them down.
Converted one of the psr styles across because I couldn’t find a Korg style that went really well with the show tunes and old ballads I like to play.
Kind of wish they’d come up with a set of styles that were more basic.
Hi Rikki,
I'm hearing every word you say...and relating to it all. I remember when you and I were working on converting those Roland styles for that reason.
So...it's NOT my imagination. These Korg styles really say nothing. (I still can't find a decent cha-cha and some other basic styles). Korg styles...rather unexciting and "over-blown!" Not terribly inspiring. But I think only those of us who have been playing for years have a benchmark to compare them with (the early Yamaha's and Roland's)
I went to a concert over the weekend and the band (for a change) was really terrific. Then it hit me. The keyboard player was mega-good and he was playing on an old vintage Yamaha stage piano. No one noticed...no one complained...no one cared. He got standing ovations. So I'm thinking to myself...why not go back to your old equipment...the Roland Pro-E, etc just for the styles. My intuition tells me to sell this "untouched" PA3x and maybe look into the new Yamahas even.
Hi Mark,
I’m guessing the styles might be fine or maybe even brilliant for certain genres, unfortunately not for the old fashioned ? music I enjoy playing. Haha.
What I have really enjoyed about my Korgs over the last 10 years is the technology ie the style creation and editing capabilities. I’m a tech junkie , not a musician. .Sadly my musical abilities don’t match my ability on knowing how to go about it.
First time in 30 years, I’ve lost interest in trying to convert styles across . Had about 8 months off not being able to use my right hand properly, thank goodness things worked out ok, back to normal, and spending time playing , instead of messing round.
I did find my psr had more styles that suited the songs I enjoy playing, even though soundwise not a patch on my Pa4x.
Think I may get the new psr when it arrives. Don’t like the feel of the keys on the psrs950, too soft. Doubt the new one will be much different, hence I may get a piano as a controller ( with interface or whatever it needs) or midi it to my Pa4x if I keep it.
