Members depulse Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 If the presenter could shut up once in a while to allow one hear the results and not his voice..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McHale Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 It has holes for an iPod without an iPod dock? Which is a good thing. Not everyone uses an ipod. This allows ANY type of media player - even those $20 cheapies. Certainly not a deal breaker for iPod people... -Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AfroRouge Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 Not to mention licensing costs to boast an iPod port. Seems like it could be a fun, inexpensive unit. Could be a SP-404 killa, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hogberto Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 so he says that if you suddenly have an idea when you're 'anywhere doing anything' and you're out of the studio then you pull out the 3 octave keyboard that you just happen to have in your pocket and start recording. WTF? this board has many WTF factors. i reserve the right to GAS for one though, if i so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? Laptop bag/backpack. I'm sure you'll see that as an accessory real soon if it's not already there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Umbra Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 Looks pretty decent to me. My only complaint is that it's a little larger than I'd like. I see no reason for an ipod doc and the reason to go with knobs instead of the x/y pad for kaoss effects is obviously to keep the size down. Also flash as a storage media is pretty much dead, if you have to have something use a usb stick. It wouldn't suprise me if this supports one. It looks like it has enough storage space on board where that really isn't much of an issue anyway. More electribe like features would be nice but you can't really tell from the video what it can do so they may be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 As far as I've seen, this one only has USB port for connecting with computer... so it's USB slave, but there's no master USB port for USB sticks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flat earth Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have to say, it seems a decent little sampling device. I may even be tempted to snag one at some point, as I have no 'switch on and go' type device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Hamburglar Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 Looks fun, but yes, very ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cl516 Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 said it on first day and i'll say it again, i'm so getting this one. for me, the sp404 was completely unusable, which is strange because of all the favorable reviews i'd read. i really think these samplers all do similar things these days, kinda like how DAW's resemble each other. but for example, plenty of times i'm using my MPC and i thought, 'wow i really which i had something even simpler, was battery operated, had keys attached, and a mic ready to go'. sometimes the toy factor can be just the thing to get ideas going.

Members program_insect Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 key gate sampling, that's cool. and I like the lights over each key :-) but other than that, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McHale Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 UGLY? That's rich. "Sorry Korg. I can't make good music if I don't like the aesthetics of the thing." You'd rather have something pretty and less functional? And if anybody mentions "feng shui", somebody loses a finger. -Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tomkeen Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 Seriously though, this demo is terrible. It's all talk and not much useful sound. Uhmm.. It's a sampler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flat earth Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hmmm, I wouldn't call it butt ugly, agreed those end cheeks look rather bad, but It looks like it has everything to hand, functional and ready to dive straight in. I think thats good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flat earth Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 Actually, when I first saw it, this came straight to mind: although upon looking closely, they share little resemblence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats good Looks are very important to rock musicians. I won't buy a keyboard unless it matches my elevator shoes, flare pants, and hipster-approved shirt.

Members depulse Posted September 12, 2009 Members Share Posted September 12, 2009 Anotehr Korg sampler running at 48 kHz, it made the Triton a hassle to work with (and to connect digitally to) another one to be added to the list, are all Korgs running on the same processor (something old based on a DAT chip)? Moving samples to and from it will be "fun"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
