Hello fellow Korgles,
A quick introduction. The more I explore synthesizers, the more I love 'em. My main rig for now is a Korg Radias and a Nord Stage 88. Enough, I think, to get some great practice on creating sounds and all things SYNTHESIS as well as some weighted keys for traditional playing and technique. FUN STUFF.
My major downfall is that the more I see, the more I want to buy since not all synths are created equal. My wallet is a starving fold of leather for sure.
Talk to you guys later!

If you have the RADIAS and still want more, then you haven't explored it fully enough. Sure, it doesn't do everything, and some things maybe in not enough detail, but it is very deep and complex, many people think of it as just a 'virtual analog' but it covers a LOT more than just that. I use the Radias with a KARMA workstation, and the only thing I really want at the moment is another Radias!
And maybe a sampler...
And a nord modular,
Possibly an 88 key controller,
And the OASYS.
Okay, I get your point now!

Haha X-trade, and thanks for the welcome.
And vesa, what I really mean when "I want this and that" are all the different synthesis options various synthesizers and modules can give. Yes, I realize the radias is a WEALTH of possibilities, but it still can't do it all (and I by no means claim to have the radias fully figured out at this time). If it did, I wouldn't need anything else.
I do want to hit the additive synthesis at some point, but the only one I know that really excels at it is the Kawai K5000(s)...and that thing has gone vintage.
Softsynths provide different possibilities than hardsynths, and then you can run audio lines through for those that support that feature...there's just so much to freakin' learn!
And then there's the world of modular...now I'm drooling. |
