M50 or Tr?

In Korg You can rewrite COMBIs or Programs in the order whatever you want.
Also (found this option not long ago) you can copy combis to sequencer. This is the best way for now. And every song will be a sound you want.

In my Opinion and if this guy is Yugoslavian i wont recomend him the M50.
It wont do much of your work, just get the TR, Sampling, ako si nas onda
znas o cemu pricam. Balkan is the only place where even the Oasys wont
do much if it doesnt have Sampling. I think you should forget the M50.

That is your best option, a synth way cheaper then M3 but way better for the Money/Value, Reasons:
1. A lot cheaper but a full Workstation
2. Can do anything M3 can except Karma
3. 4 times the internal sounds of M3
4. MOSS will destroy any RADIAS
5. Ready material on any corner you turn

thnx for the answers.. unfortunately, I'm not yugoslavian ;] so what most of you are saying that I should get a Triton Extreme or the Tr instead of the M50 ?

Yes! For the reasons given above if you wanna make your own sounds.

Ok.. thanks.. What about the Korg Triton ? awould it be still good?

Well the EXTREME is a TRITON but any TRITON will do better then M50.
You have 3 choices, EXTREME, STUDIO or EXTREME but if you wanna do
something 50 times better then M3 then you can even find KARMA which
has ALL of TRITON plus the KARMA...the way to go. Same money.

Hmm.. I'm still thinking why would the triton be better than the M50? I mean, the Triton has only 32mb of sounds and the M50 has 256 witch is 8x more than the triton.. and it also has USB.. so.. or am I misunderstanding something here ?

No, you're not misunderstanding nothing. See the spec and see what you need more. The rompler engine of the M50 is technically superior to the one of the Tritons (and equal to the one of the M3). Anyway, Tritons were flagship ws and M50 an entry level (so the M50 lacks something overall).
Morover, saying Tritons are all better than M3 is.. not the right thing, because a) it's an absolute statement in a matter that is someway subjective b) technically is not true, at least not totally true.

More output options, sturdier builded, a more professional "feeling" on it, midi through, ribbon controller, possibility to expand with MOSS board, possibility to have USB storage (Triton Extreme), different samples (maybe you can like them more than M3/M50 samples, who knows), more (and different) presets. Maybe better D/A converters or final analog amplification (maybe, we don't know). Triton Studio has also a cd-burner in it. Different keyboard.
But the rompler engine of the M50/M3 it's an evolution of the one of the Triton.
Anyway, in the end the most important thing is what keyboard you have more feeling with.

I have used the TR for about 2 years now, and I would recommend getting an M50.
main reason being that one insert effect is hell if you want to do anything like guitar sound effects (compressor>chorus>flange>amp sim). or a really nice organ sound.
or mix a full track completely on this 'workstation'.

m50's 5 insert effects plus two( ?) master and one total effect, would be like heaven.

also, you can do so much more with the two multimode resonant filters than TR/Triton engine's one resonant low pass or high pass + low pass non reso filter section.

admittedly I would miss the aftertouch, but i juse use a cheap KAWAI K1 which has aftertouch as a controller kybd.

Deppends on your needs and how you look at it.

1.MOSS is better then RADIAS.
2. You already have a lot of material ready for TRITON.
3. On Extreme you have bigger ROM and to explain something to you:
The sounds found in here http://www.basaristudios.com/id16.html
can not be reproduced on M3 cuz of lack of ROM sounds.

But...thats for a certain style or needs of music, not necesarilly in general.

Hey Basari:

The Extreme has 160 MB, and the M50 has 256 MB...

I understand your point that they don't both contain all the same samples, but the numbers don't lie...

Best regards,

Jerry

Well my whole point Jerry is that they dont also sound the same.
I pointed to a specific Genre of music where even M3 is behind any Triton...
as i said above...that doesnt mean in general. And another point, no matter
what the ROM size is, it still, has less waves and sounds, even M3.
