Let's avoid a "Gear War"... > If you want music like Jazz, Rebert Miles, Yanni etc, with high quality sound, KARMA and Triton's it is not good.< In the end, it all comes down to a matter of taste, perception, and implementation of equipment. I'm sure many of us have been exposed to gear wars in this site and others. For example we've been exposed to the bantering of issues such as PC vs MAC, Fantom vs Motif, Triton vs Trinity, Reason vs Reactor, hardware vs software, etc. etc. etc. I don't doubt for a minute that there are quite a few who would strongly disagree with previous statements about Karma's sound not being that good. And of course, there may be a few who jump in to criticize the Motif or Kurzweil. It's all opinion. It's a rather subjective pursuit. Nothing is ever accomplished except inflaming passions for one's favorite instrument and the generation of resentments etc. So, in the interests of avoiding a "Gear War", I hope this thread takes a different approach or is dropped altogether. The way I like to approach these matters is to recognize the utility of a variety of pieces of equipment for a variety of purposes. Many of us who have been around electronic music for a long time know that there is no such thing as the "One and only, all in one" instrument you will ever need. Can the Karma does jazz, new age, hip hop, progressive rock etc.? Of course it can - and does extremely well. Listen to Stephen Kay's demos. They'll blow you away. But again, it's just a matter of taste and perception. Here are a few links to my demos that were recorded live with no overdubbing or post production editing. They illustrate some of my Karmafied combis in action. Basically, I'm hitting the Chord Triggers while free improvising on the keys. Of course you will hear timing and rudimentary errors, but it will give you an idea of what the Karma can do.
