88 key Worksations,,,,,,,,any ideas - 01/15/09 09:06 AM
My wife seems to be swirching back and forth bwtween the Previa 320 and RD700 leaving a bare spot in my humble studio, So Im getting a PERMANENT 88 weighted board.
Any ideas or shared knowledge would be nice.
My choices are Yamaha X8 (of course), Roland Fantom, Korg M3....or a module and 88 key controller. I really don;t need the full on WS but at the prices I can get them for it would be foolish not to. (which is why I have a T3 and not the s900)
Heres my take....Roland has the best OS but I already have a PC and Notebook.
Yamaha has all those Arps which makes me lean in that direction how ever I don;t like the idea of most coices from one manufacturere.
The Korg is the front runner but I don't want to spend more time reading "War and Peace" than creating. The Manual is like a NYC Phone book.....and no pictures,
A controller would probably be the best idea but the Yamaha KX88 is really nice if you use Cubaase,
Maybe a used Motif ES or its new incarnation the M08......
Decidions decisions...
