Re: Karma or Triton extreme et al

if memory is right here
the aftertouch in the karma software for the triton (exteme in my case)
can be set to do all sorts of clever things

one can really alter the patterns, how it behaves and so on

I can point to some examples of it in use on the last album

I use a microkontrol with karma software to extreme, that gives me the
additional
controls, I am sure you can use other midi controllers as needed. I do like
the pressure
sensitive pads to get a little bit more modulation from some effects.

karma in use on the next set of CDs, several tracks
I am working on a track right now that has two tracks of karma work in use
along with guitar(s)(about 10 layers of), so far. ;-)

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
