poll: favorite workstation

[zephonic]

There's a lot of back and forth on this so I thought we do a poll to get the cold hard facts

 

[Dana.]

F. None of the above

Logic Pro

Korg 01/Wfd

My cat's breath smells like cat food...

sorry....double post

[bloodyMary]

I think the poll should be arranged in other way - by brands, not by models, and this is because different models from each brand use same seq. engines. For example, Korg's sequencer didn't change from the 01/W series, I mean in terms of layout and workflow. Of course, some new features were added, etc.

 

I'd make a poll look like this:

 

1)Kurz

2)Korg

3)Ensoniq

4)Roland

5)Alesis

6)Yamaha

7)don't use h/w sequencers

Going with how BloodyMary ordered the poll, while i love my Motif, I don't use it as a workstation, so my answer would be 6.5.

[Song80s]

some of us have more than 1 , you should know

 

ever have more than 1 girl friend ?

 

at the same time ?

 

[Synthoid]

some of us have more than 1 , you should know

 

This is true.

 

My favorite is the Korg M3.

 

[bloodyMary]

So the poll would be something like 'which workstation you use to record on?'

 

If you use more then one, pick a favorite.

 

Seems that many musicians still use older workstations, like Ensoniqs and Trinity, O1/W, yammie EX, etc.

Korg M3 should be in there, even though I didn't vote for it. I'm a Motif XS guy.

[Analogaddict]

Definately M3 right now.

still lovin' the 7400 event, 8 track sequencer in my Ensoniq SQ80 for quick scratchpad stuff. Serious work gets done in Sonar. Realistically, I have sequences for my 01w, K2000, SQ80, Cubase, Traktion, and my beloved Sonar. I really need to consolidate this stuff.

I have Sonar as well but for scratchpad stuff I use an old Kawai Q-80 hardware sequencer with my Alesis QS7. I love the Kawai, 26,000 note capacity, loads of editing features and disk drive.

 

In fact, I wrote the theme to a local TV exercise show with that setup, recorded the audio output from the QS7 into my computer and mastered it with T-RacKs and that was that!
