Re: Karma, M3, Korg online eZine, etc.

Hi Steve,
   Sorry for the typo. That should have read "Spam", lol.  Anyway, if 
you haven't heard the Legacy Collection LAC-1 EXi(MS-20 and Polysix) 
on the OASYS, then you're in for a treat.  OASYS can do analog, 
regardless of the LAC-1 EXi.  With today's high powered digital 
synths, the myth that they cannot emulate analog sounds is just that -
 a myth.  I've been in this business for over 40 years, played both 
crappy and excellent analog and both crappy and excellent digital 
instruments.  All I can say is that in today's world, to me, the aura 
of analog is much overrated and, in some cases, over priced (e.g. a 
Macbeth).  However, I will concede that for some, only analog fits 
the bill.

Next, don't hold your breath waiting for KARMA 2 for the Karma, MW, 
or KarmaTriton to happen anytime soon.  Stephen has tons of new 
projects on the go and it could be quite a while - if ever - before 
he revisits updating KARMA 2 elements (not all of them) for MW or 
KarmaTriton, never mind the red Karma.  For the latter, this simply 
will not happen.  So, if it's KARMA 2 technology you're hankering 
for, then you'll have to get it in an M3, OASYS, or anything new in 
this department coming from Korg.
Cheers,
Eric
