LarsHarner Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 As Dave stated, there are some unknowns about the MOXF and Krome. We don't know if either keyboard is based on an older design that did not include aftertouch. From what I recall, the Triton LE keyboard (a close relative to the Krome) responded to aftertouch, but the original Yamaha MO series did not. You are talking about responding to aftertouch messages via MIDI. No hardware cost there. Almost all Korg's do that... in fact, most respond to poly-aftertouch via MIDI. Hmmmmm, I thought the specs I read awhile back stated the Triton LE keyboard itself responded to aftertouch... was that incorrect? Whoops - my bad. Been too long. Yes, it did have physical aftertouch. Too many models down the road for me. It's the last time we fought and won on the AT front. So we cut other things like the number of insert effects, the display, the power supply, the case, ROM expansion etc. Sorry for the wrong turn. Jerry Still- a fine workstation for many years. It had a combo called "Trancy Eurphora" i loved (praised in the SOS review as well) I had it from 2002-2010. I probably would have liked some more insert effects but the sequencer and interface was friendlier than my Motif6 which I also got in 2002. It had enough of what I needed for $1,100. Now, the Korg SG Rack was probably my all time favorite item for many years. Did you work on that as well?- Brilliant item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowzar Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I should have added though, that I like to use bits of aftertouch on synth sounds. Yep - Kurzweil aftertouch goes a little deeper as well. The important missing point is that aftertouch on a Kurzweil can be controlled in various ways. Not just apply it and set a depth. Conditions (via FUNs) can be set.... so if you only wanted aftertouch for example on certain section of the keyboard triggered by another controller. - CUNKA - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrythek Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Now, the Korg SG Rack was probably my all time favorite item for many years. Did you work on that as well?- Brilliant item The SG ProX and Z1 were the first products I worked on after joining Korg. I certainly worked on the spec of the SG, particularly the MIDI controller aspects. The sounds were done by Ben Dowling and Jack Hotop. Both supremely talented.

Jerry I would love to see a new Korg SG, to compete with the Yamaha CP4 and Roland RD800... (Of course it could be named SV2 or even SG2) Classic black case similar to original SG design (but sleeker and more compact) A new hammer action with ivory effect tops? Piano sounds from Kronos? Zoning with adjustable key range Pro outputs (xlr outs, additional individual outputs etc) Internal power supply with kettle lead slot Keep the weight under 20kg (by using some plastic in the design and/or by offering 73 or 76 key hammer action model) Drool...

Brainspawn Forte is one of the popular live hosts out there. There's bound to be lot of overlap in search keywords with ensuing confusion.

Agree with you there. Sounds like the name for a budget line of home pianos for learning. Think Korg SP170 or Roland F20 or the similarly named Alesis Cadenza.

allan_evett Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Seem to recall that name being batted around well before the Artis was announced at NAMM 2013 - sometime in mid 2012 ? I could be thinking of the Brainspawn product though; gettin' slightly old, and probably need a larger hard drive Heck, I'm a by-appointment dealer for Kurz stuff in NoCO, and the only new thing I've known about - that's not rumors or vaporware - is the Artis. Guess we'll all know a lot more in 24 hrs, or so...
