Members ChristianRock Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Has anyone found the price of the Korg PS60 yet? Their "new" keyboard that has LESS ROM than discontinued products like the MicroX? I'm not even mildly interested, to be honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think it was just meant to be a portable "electric piano" type of instrument, a cheaper SV1. I'm surprised at the micropreset is 49 meg compared to the microx 64meg. it's still close enough.. I wonder what most of the samples are.. if the ergonomics of the keyboard / sequencer are any good, I can see getting it to drive my virus and microx (im not expecting it to blow it away).

I'm not even mildly interested, to be honest... Welcome to the age of plastic. It's the end of decent keybeds, aftertouch, pedal jacks, internal power supplies and MIDI thru. The GAIA looks interesting, but 3 octaves? No aftertouch? One pedal input? Do people actually play keyboards anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people actually play keyboards anymore? Horses for courses - presumably the big 3 have much bigger markets in the youth/hobbyist sector? There's only a few pros, and once people get past 30 they stop gigging and do it all in software (with honourable exceptions of most forum members here, of course, but we're not target market for most of this stuff).

Members Metrosonus Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 after using sequencers for years i can't play two handed anymore.. which is fine really, i'm not playing bach or rachmaninoff or anything. it's just pretty standard bassline fills.

Members aymat Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Korg say that they are offering every musician the ability to enjoy analog synthesis with the all-new monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Here's the rest of what they have to say... Powered by two AAA alkaline batteries, the compact monotron can be held in one hand. Although small enough to be easily carried, the monotron is packed with Korg's legendary analog technology to generate thick and powerful sounds, plus a true analog filter with audio input. The unique ribbon controller keyboard borrows from the enjoyment of performing with Korg's popular KAOSS products. Simple finger motions can produce expressive effects such as vibrato and glide. When used in a band, the monotron can harmonize with another instrument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members girevik Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 $85 for a Korg Monotron??? Hell fracking yeah, I'm getting one! I'd use it for processing the output of my Echoplex Digital Pro looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChristianRock Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Ok how many of you are going to buy this under the radar from your wife just because it costs less than 100 dollars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xpander Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 they should throw a throbbing gristle logo on that and charge $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bloopbleep Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Very tempting Check out http://www.radikaltechnologies.com/ for their new Accelerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zoink Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 They should have put MIDI in and out on the back of the Monotron, so that you can play it with a real keyboard, and control it via sequencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundxplorer Posted March 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 so when they release the big version is it going to be called the Korg Megatron? If so, it better be a VINTAGE Megatron, in the shape of a gun, and not the crappy new movie-Megatron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daniel_b Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 God that was horrible I wouldn't be seen dead playing that thing. I could just about imagine myself playing some king of strap on controller keyboards, but that thing is the cheesiest, most plasticky, ugliest, and most useless musical instrument I've ever seen. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised it I buy a Korg Monotron, because it looks fun, and cheap, and I might actually find something to use it for. The Gaia looks rather nice nice too. No chance I'll be buying one though. How many VAs do you need after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paulo_ Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 I kind of dig the look of the thing. It's like the bizarre offspring of a mellotron and a keytar. Not for me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
