  Korg, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to utterly confuse
everybody with their model names. The M1 has 61 keys, but the
corresponding T-series keyboard is the T3. The T1 has 88 weighted
keys. And then there's the 01/W series, with all kinds of Pro and X
and whatever markings to indicate different keyboards...

Probably true. MIDI note information only carries note # and velocity

Well, it's not the same technique, but you _could_ use a

Well, I tried posing this message before, but it didn't seem to work.
I have a violin that I need amped up... I bought a Fishman pickup which
is just an acoustic pickup. I run that through a Yamaha EMP-100 that I 
just got for some added depth that I loose when amping up, no to mention
that chorus and flange and delay sound wicked on a violin!

What I eould like to know is if there are any people out there that 
know anyone who builds electric violins? I have seen a few custom
looking violins in groups like Laurie Anderson and Carry Nation. 

I have talked to Zeta who makes a violin and midi controller, but the 
violins are well over $1000 and the controllers are about $1500. Zeta 
has a wicked pickup system, but the prices are a little high for a 
college student.

Any one know of anything else or ever play an electric violin?

Probably the best value for the money around.  The sounds are quite
respectable but limited (you only get what you pay for).

The micro keyboard is not much use and the memory soon runs out. There
is no tape backup - it has to be done via MIDI. Yamaha give away a very
good librarian called SQYRREL if you happen to have a MONO Atari.

I also use a Korg RF1 filer for portable disk backup.  It works well.

The manual leaves a lot to be desired and it was nearly a month before
I really understood what was going on inside the beast.

The QY10 scores on portability: I can sit in an armchair with my feet
up and program away to my heart's content. If I get something I like,
I load it into CUBASE, four tracks at a time, using split input mode.
I can then make mods to overcome the repetitive style that the pattern
programming technique inevitably produces.

May I suggest that you drop everything and run to BookStar or wherever
and get the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook.  It will be the best
$35 you ever spent.  I'm assuming you don't have a BSEE.  If you do,
take it out of the library and read the relevant sections (which I

	But there is another aspect you haven't considered:  that good
features and specs MAKE a good sound.  My favorite synthesizer has only
5 simple waveforms:  sine, sawtooth, pulse, triangle, noise.  These sounds
are not exactly exciting. :-)  But because the synthesizer has such powerful
features, it turns these waveforms into incredible creations.

	If I had listened only to the factory preset sounds on this
instrument, I wouldn't have thought it was anything special, and might
not have bought it.  But after reading the manual cover to cover, I was
hooked.

	My opinion:  a good sound is important for enjoying the instrument.
Good features are important for growing with the instrument, so you don't
get bored with it.

	Welcome to USENET.... :-)  Sad but true.

	A similar problem is when people say "As you all know..."
or "Everybody knows that...", when the stated information is opinion,
not fact.  That is what got you in trouble with your original posting.
(No offense intended -- just pointing it out.)

	Nick Rothwell didn't give any details, you are correct.  On the
other hand, he has stated his opinions so many times in this newsgroup that
he probably didn't feel like repeating himself. :-)

I have an O1/W but find the synth action and short keyboard a bit
limiting, so I'm looking for a weighted 88 key controller.

I have an opportunity to buy a Korg Concert 5000 Digital Piano for
$1,000 Cndn (about $800 US), which I consider to be a good price.

Private sale, no shipping since it's close and I can pick it up.

I would MIDI the O1/W to the Concert 5000, and run it through external
amp and speakers (not the Concert 5000 speakers).  I would sit the O1/W
on top of the Concert 5000 (sort of where the music rack goes), and
control patch changes etc from there, gain 88 weighted keys to play on
and realize that I would not get aftertouch on the Concert 5000,
although it would still be available on the O1/W. This seems like an
economical way to go, but perhaps I'm missing something.

I would appreciate any advice, pro or con.  I get to try it out next
week and will then decide if I like the feel of the keyboard etc.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I've gotten ahold of a couple of Synare pads - "lo tom" and "hi tom". They
have that satisfying retro-goofytronic sound and work fine, but I've got a
couple of questions:

  What's the proper voltage to power them? The guy I bought them from suggested
  9 volts, which works fine, but is there a better number?

  What do the two extra 1/4" connections do? Trigger outs?

  Does anyone have the schematics for these things?

  Does anyone want to sell be the "snare" pad so I can complete my set? :)
