Well, there are "enthusiast" on these forums. and others, so I guess their "waste of time" is just being more enthusiastic than others with less time :?

In troubled times like these a good laugh between fellow musicians is priceless.

aerial - I have trouble finding the power switch myself on certain occasions. I think a remote key fob would be the perfect solution. Maybe have one button just for raising and lowering the module.

how about a proximity sensor so that it can detect my rate of approach and be completely booted up by the time I sit in front of it.

going back somewhere near the original topic.... using airplanes as an example, history teaches us that the future is one or more glass panels -- not more switches and sliders and knobs. maybe one larger touchscreen, or something like that.

and more recent history teaches us you have to cram accelerometers into everything, so who knows what that'll mean for synths... :roll:

I wouldn't be surprised if a new Korg workstation included more pads as the OP showed. From Karma to the M3 they've doubled and doubling it again would take you into MPC pad counts. Pads are popular for banging out chords or drum hits and 8 doesn't feel like enough sometimes on my Oasys.

Sharp,

a rack version of the DSS-1?

Really?

I'll buy any synth that Korg puts out with real Analog filters (which is why I will never sell my DW-8000 or DSS-1). Analog filters can make anything sound cool.

-Mc

p.s. seriously? :)

I prefer Korg will make a screen with MutiTouch features. We will have endless page, endless controllers knobs/sliders and maybe "shaking" features too :)


Still hope,

maybe you should look at a computer based solution where no knob is involved :)

i think the main reason to buy hardware today is to have instant access to much functions as possible per knobs and switches.
the more the better.

all i want is a sampler which can handle big harddisks for my sample library and has a 16 pad step sequencer on board.

my design only adds features to the m3 and doesnt reduce other features.

and many people have requested knobs instead of the faders.

the O-rack "already exists" and it was brilliantly created by Sharp:
