This is a very old and limited synth. It's a fantastic buy if you get one for $300 or $400, and you wanted it mostly for its key action which is great. The insert and master effects are very limited and sound dated. This thing is a quarter of a century old, and is based on circuitry and code from ...

The Korg USB drivers are notoriously bad for SYSEX. Get a usb to midi convertor and two midi 5 pin cables, one for in and out, and use your synths onboard midi in din and out din 5 pin ports. SYSEX transfers with Korg USB midi = Often fails. I have used a dozen different Korg models, all of which ...

A conventional choice for studios with synths and performance keyboards, is to use studio monitors like the KRK ROKIT 6s, which are powered and which your PA4X can drive directly without a mixer in between. A very low cost method is to use unbalanced powered speakers (less expensive than studio ...

What modeis the triton in? Program or Combi? It is possible she is simply on a patch (program #101, in program mode) that has a transpose setting engaged. Getting into those is a matter of digging around in the menus. The easy way for her to avoid this is to simply hit the Program or Combi button ...

The manual is really bad. It explains where the menu item to clear all midi mappings is and where the menu item to reset to defaults (without mentioning what they are) is, but there's no midi learn button in the software, and the manual doesn't say how to midi map anything? How do you midi map the ...

A nice combination of korg midi controller hardware with Korg Collection 4 is the KAOS PAD audio effect which simulates the physical KAOSS pad, although it’s more of a “cousin of the kaoss pad” than a virtual kaoss pad, I wish they called it KaosTouch or something instead of KaossPad because it would ...

I am using the KORG TRITON EXTREME found in the KORG COLLECTION 3 and 4, and while some parameters are visible as automation some of the MOST OBVIOUS ones seem not to be visible to DAW as Automation and remote controllable parameter including Combie Timber 1-8 volumn level. There is an OSC 1 AMP and ...

> - a sad joke of a completely insufficient controller interface for live play (and even unnerving in the home studio), still with an outdated capacitative display.

It's certainly outdated, and it's a resistive touch display, similar in design to the 1990s Palm Pilot, and the Kronos.

Nautilus seems not very attractive for the price. Either pay a bit more and get a Kronos, or if you want something that seems cheaply built, just get a Krome. I think the number one competitor to a NEW Nautilus would be a used Kronos, probably for less money. The new ARP is a downgrade from Karma ...

If you want it multi tracked, record one track at a time into the DAW. There's ONLY ONE AUDIO OUTPUT PAIR (L/R) from the Korg Keyboards. But what will you lose if you want stems (you call them stubs, they're called stems by most people)? You will lose synchronization. Just take his keyboard part and ...

So you are able to import .PCG files to get your patches and combis inside the VST to be like the patches and combis inside your real triton that you formerly had? SMF files can say "set the sound to A-130" but not that A-130 is a fretless bass or a strings pad. That part is up to you. You have to ...

Years later think I better summarize what I learned: 1. You can get a new and installable-on-modern-mac-and-windows systems version if you own the original boxed Korg Legacy Collection or one of their controller plus KLC bundles. 2. The information on the web suggests you need to register for an ...

Another NAMM has come and gone, and no real Kronos level news.

Okay another color. bleh.

My secret reason for wanting the Kronos replacement to ship is so someone will sell me a Kronos cheap.

I can't afford one.

I have this dream where I: 1. bought an 8x8 (8 midi in, 8 midi out) usb device. 2. it had an app where you could basically configure any kind of in/out patchbay configuration you wanted. 3. it worked so that all my synths can talk to and from my daw, but more importantly, I could also have my synths ...

1. Is there a PC based Style and patch editor for PA700/PA100?

2. Can I load custom samples on PA1000/PA700 like I could in Triton?

3. Is the sound design as deep as Triton?

4. Is this a valuable songwriting tool?

Cheers.
