Hi all:

This is a great forum and I'm pleased to have run across it.

I'm the proud owner of a new M50-88, but my Korg association goes all the way back to the late 70's when I bought my original MS-10. Over the years, I've owned a number of Korg keyboards, and one of my favorites was the venerable M1.

I'm a college professor & theoretical physicist by day, and jazz musician at night. I'm also a producer, engineer and chief cook and bottle washer by at my studio (and a few other commercial entities around town). These days, I play mostly straight up jazz and fusion, but will also dabble in progressive blues.

Some of my music can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/meisenhowerjazz

My personal studio includes (but is not limited to) the following:

iMac G5
Protools 7.4
Apple Logic
Propellerhead Reason 4
Ableton Live 7
Digidesign 002R
Digidesign C24 Control Surface
Mackie 824HR's
Dynaudio MB 6a's
Presonus Eureka
Universal Audio LA-610 Signature
Neumann TLM -103 (pair)
Groove Tubes GT-66 (tube mic)
Mixed bag of VSTi, RTAS plugins and other software instruments: Strike, Waves Diamond, Kontakt, Arturia Minimoog V
Assorted room treatments, patch bay's and other misc goodies.

My Keyboard Setup includes:

Yamaha C7 Grand Piano
1957 Hammond B3 with Leslie 145 & 147's
Hammond Xk-3
Kawai MP9000 Stage Piano
Fender Rhodes Mark I 73 Stage Piano

Delighted to have you with us.
Welcome.
I'm off to have a listen to your music.

Listening now....Wow!!!
Top notch performances...I love Big Jim's Bar & Grill, do I detect a minor Spyro Gyra influence there? Serious guitar solo, very nice!
I have to ask who that is playing the funky bass? I'm lovin' it.
On Pocket Change, I'm getting a little Steely Dan vibe, cool!

Obviously you and you collaborators are at the top of your game, I'm truly enjoying the music, thanks for the link.

Cheers,

Ray,

Greetings, good tidings, & welcome aboard.

It's an interesting mix of people here, most of whom have been around the keyboard a few times.

In addition to most things musical, there is a member (John Hendry) who likes to tell us about his theory of unification and strings & things from time to time.

Have fun!

Ken
