Synthesizer Reviews

The Korg i3 is an extremely powerful synthesizer which has a ton of great features that even the snobbiest of professionals will enjoy using. Here are just some of the many great applications that this machine has. Some are basic while others are more advanced. |
 |
The Korg Karma Synthesizer is based off of Korg's Triton series. However, the KARMA technology, an acronym for Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music Architecture, creates musical phrases, grooves, and passages either at random or in a user-controlled manner. No other synthesizer has KARMA like this Korg. |

The Korg M3 is a very feature-heavy synthesizer, however it’s very simple to use the basic features, straight out of the box. But when it comes to the more advanced features, it does require a little more “know-how” to be comfortable with them. It shares a familiar operating system with the Triton series. The touch screen is nothing short of excellent. |
 |
The Korg is definitely one of the lighter high-end synthesizers that are out on the market. It only weighs a very light 15 lbs. It comes with a colossal amount of new sounds and effects that only a company like Korg can come up with. |
 |
The Korg Oasys is a synthesizer that is built like a tank. The enclosure that is used is practically unbreakable. What makes the Korg Oasys so great is that the resources put into the CPU are mostly dedicated to make music, not for basic housekeeping. The touchscreen LCD makes navigation a breeze. The programs and combis have parameters which can be controlled through a wide variety of modes. |
 |
The first thing any musician is going to notice about the Korg R3 synthesizer is the fact that the weight of the instrument is far less than that of most other synthesizers, including other models offered by the Korg firm. This fact makes the device very useful for touring, and it would be ideal for the garage band that doesn’t have a great deal of space for carrying and transporting their gear. |
 |
It contains a 150MB waveform memory that pretty much allows you to be your own band, handing your own rhythm while you belt out a gritty solo. Of course the Korg Triton has an expansion slot for adding more sound samples but if you can spring for the extreme it contains almost the entire sample library already. |
 |
The word that comes to mind when thinking about the Korg X50 is useful. The X50 is a synthesizer that packs a lot of features into one handy and rather compact box. It has 61 keys, so you're able to get a lot of freedom to work up and down the keyboard. |
 |
If you're even interested in the Korg-MS20 it's safe to assume you're not a synth day tripper. The MS20 is an old school monophonic synthesizer, so if you're looking for a synth you can play like a standard keyboard, this is not the device for you. If you're looking for smooth, unique and customizable analog sound for lead or bass lines, look no further. |

The Roland Jupiter 6 Synthesizer is by far the best synthesizer I have ever owned. I have owned and played many others, but this is unlike the rest. |

The Yamaha Motif XS6 Synthesizer is an amazing piece of equipment. I can't believe the sound that comes out of this thing. It's a joy to play. Starting with just the simple parts - the 61 touch sensitive keys with initial touch and after touch are so smooth. |

Oberheim Matrix 1000 Synthesizer The Oberheim Matrix 1000 Synthesizer is a great product if you like analog synths and the electronic sounds. It's so much better than using software. I just need to add effect to it and then play, and it's got a dynamic sound. It does nice pads and basses, and adds lively analog sounds all of the time. |
