Hey guys. OP here. I know a local band that's trying to independently produce its first EP. On that EP, one of the band members is credited as playing "keyboards & synthesizers". How can a band member be playing BOTH keyboards and synthesizers if most modern-day synthesizers are keyboard-based ...

Hey guys. One of my co-workers owns a Roland Juno-106 and (I think) a microKorg. Those two instruments are straight-up synthesizers. I understand that the definition of a synthesizer is an instrument that can generate artificial sounds using mathematical algorithms. However, most recording artists ...

Hey everyone. I own a lot of U2 and Green Day CD's. And I've read the sleeve notes for every one of those CD's. In almost all the liner notes, the songwriting credits are denoted as "Lyrics by Bono, Music by U2" or "Lyrics by Billie Joe, Music by Green Day". When it says "Music by U2"- Does it mean ...

I used to own a Casio CTK-6250 portable keyboard that had built-in tones. In addition to the Korg Kronos, I'm interested in the Akai Professional MPK49 (or MPK61). From what I understand, Akai Professional MPK49 is a MIDI/USB "keyboard controller" that creates sounds via computer software digital ...

Thanks for everything, OpAmp.

By the way, I got interested in the microKorg because Brandon Flowers of The Killers uses one.

Thanks for the rundown.

I was just wondering if the microKorg would blow all of those four synths out of the water.

One last question, OpAmp. I understand that the microKorg is essentially a synthesizer with a vocoder. However- Would it be alright to regard the microKorg as a keyboard ? After all, the word "keyboard" is an umbrella term for any musical instrument possessing black-and-white keys (which includes ...

Actually, I'm now thinking about getting a Korg Titron for composing purposes, and then getting the microKorg if I feel like playing around with the stuff I create.

But why does the microKorg have only 37 keys?

It all depends what you are looking after... * The microKorg is a virtual analog synth. It contains a DSP and software mimicing the classic real analog substractive synth (oscillator - filter - amp - envelope - LFO - ...) So the main focus is to play synthesized sounds and tweaking them to end up ...

Hey everyone. I'm interested in getting a microKorg as my very first Korg model. However, I feel that my be getting ahead of myself here, as the microKorg appears to be too advanced for a novice. Initially, I was thinking that a Korg Trinity workstation would be more appropriate for beginners. How ...

Hey guys. I was hoping if I could get some expertise here. I'm a huge fan of Christian rock band Skillet. And one of its members, Korey Cooper, plays Korg instruments exclusively. Korey Cooper's gear consists of the following- Korg Trinity Pro V-3 Korg Prophecy Korg 01/WFD Korg Delta In summary ...

Hey guys. I need some assistance from you Korg experts here. I'm in the process of looking for my first keyboard. My friend recently got me interested in Korg keyboards and synthesizers. Right now, I'm researching the various models that Korg has to offer. I just came across a few pics of a rather ...

What is Dubstep? I've never heard of it before.

I always thought that keyboards and synthesizers are used all the time when an artist cuts a record.

So I think synths are vital for studio use.

I found this during my trip to Rome last year.
