Re: Karma or Triton extreme et al

Hi,
  I wanted to chime in and give my $.02.
  I can't imagine the Triton Extreme having all the expansion boards because in the KARMA there are only spaces for two of them at a time.  The KARMA has the same sound engine as the Triton. . . but I own a KARMA and not a Triton.  From what I know the KARMA is Triton on KARMA steroids.  The MOSS option is completely a seperate expansion and the sounds don't intermingle (you don't automatically get all the other sounds with the MOSS, you may get a full bank of presets but that's it, I have this installed in my KARMA).  If you are leaning towards a Triton, get the KARMA software for it : ).
   
  For the person wondering if their aftertouch is working on their KARMA - it probably is but as someone once described it, it's "squishy" and is more of an after-switch instead of after touch.  It's all on or nothing, no in between.  While the M3's aftertouch is much improved (as is the keybed overall) I find few factory programmers utilize this feature. . 
   
  I also am a proud new owner of the M3, I don't find it loaded with "NOW" sounds.  It's mostly loaded with real samples of real instruments.  What makes it sound "NOW" is the fresh approach to KARMA and many new GEs and scenes (which are still boggling my mind : ).  I'm working on a project now and find myself turning back to my KARMA for more guitar sounds and to my Radias for ease of making "synthesizer" sounds.  The M3 has much fewer factory presets than my fully loaded KARMA with almost all the expansion boards and 3rd party programs, but I'm sure more banks will be released.  It's invaluable if you need a workstation that is "easy" to use. . I don't mate my hardware with the computer.
   
  A note about the Radias EXB option on the M3 - - is it just me or is dialing up new waveforms and template sounds greatly limited? My Radias keyboard seems to have a lot more but I can reasearch this at www.korgforums.com (another great link!!).  The EXB also doesn't have the step sequencer which I love.

  Cheers to all and thanks for the discussion,
  Wayne

          I read some where the Triton Extreme came fully loaded with All the 
Board option that are available for Karma, and Triton. You Get Dance 
extreme, Future loops, Vintage Synths, and all the others, plus all 
the classic Triton sounds in one Triton Extreme. All you need is a 
Moss board, and buy some extra memory for the sampler In a Triton 
Extreme right?

I could sell my karma, save and get the Triton extreme. Or I can Buy 
Other Karma and load it with two more exb cards, To get some 
different sounds.

If the Karma function smokes the dual appegeators in the Triton 
extreme maybe I would think about just geting another Karma.

I'm quite bored of the sounds now, I find them to be really sounds 
of the 90's. Thank God not too much Cheese, But still.

The M3 is got the sounds of NOW! I love the M3 but there Is No 
Earthly whay I could afford it.

The Only things I can afford is THe TRiton Extreme, The TR 
workstation or the Roland Juno -G. 

I really want some new sounds!

Or wait until they come out with a another Lower priced New Karma!

Or wait 5 years exercise and take my vitamins so I live long enough 
to buy a M3 with the price down about $1,100 dollars.
