Thread: Favorite Keyboards?

Which? and why?

I gotta say the Triton. It was so easy to use and very versatile.

Alesis Andromeda - Analog nastiness pure and simple

Nord Lead - Nice synths and electro sounds

Dave Smith Poly evolver - Big sound!

Access Virus - Crazy sounds, unique timbre and hot leads

Moog little fatty - some classic Moog sounds in a nice package

Yamaha Motif series - wonderful pianos and EPs. great all around warmth for a rompler.

Yamaha EX5 - Probably the most powerful workstation ever built in terms of synthesis capability.

Korg M3- definitely a worthy successor to the Korg workstation lineage, excellent bread and buter sounds. Nice sequencer.

Korg Oasys - A beast with the price to match!

Kurzweil K series - great all around sounds even as far back as the K2000. Continues to get better.

Roland Fanthom - Good sounds, easy to use sequencer. A bit dated, but only because of it's popularity.

I still have my Kurzweil K2000S. Loved it. I learned to make beats on it. I'm also a fan of the ASR-10. Those are old school boards...triton is the beast of the new generation.

Korg i3

Oasys

Access Virus TI. I'm a big fan of synth parameter control via knobs. flipping through menus to program a patch gets tedious if you do it a lot. Plus there are a lot of unique patches.

I like the wireless Dell joint with the volume knob on it.

thanks guys.

synthlegend... now i know why.

True. I'm a Mac man in recording, Dell man in browsing.

I'm on the train buddy!

I like Motif ES8, Korg Karma, Korg Triton, Roland Fantom X7 and a classic Korg Trinity Pro X 88. I have had all these boards at one point in time and would use them again. I still have the Fantom and the Motif ES 8.

m-audio 55 key midi controller

I have a fuckin Roland Juno D......... I ......


And Im not a fuckin Junior Member.

No love for the Alesis Fusion? I can tweak that thing to make it sound however I want. I'm trying to cop Logic 8 soon.

No keyboard compares to a Fantom.......roland sounds, synthesis, and efx. Nothing like it!!!!!

Motif ES6 here.
It's Yamaha so the pianos are incredible and the Rhodes, Wurlies, Strings and Brass are real nice.

I got a T1 Virus that im thinking about selling.

Motif ES6 and a Triton..My Motif is a beast though..

How bout the Vsynth GT by roland?

if ur looking to get a modern keyboard (not vintage), the roland juno g is good in terms of bang for your buck. its only about $1000, and has the fantom engine with most of the same sounds...i like it.

Ensoniq ASR 10 is my favorite for beats I like the Motif for workstations and Moog Voyager for synths

ASR-10 you can still get sounds for it, it is easy to use, I dont like Korg for sequencing they have great sounds but their sequencing is horrible. The Roland SH-201 is a great synth keyboard for those that like to tweak. Yamaha motif is ok also.

Don't forget about the V synth GT man!!

My first "real" keyboard was the Triton Classic and it is the only keyboard I have right now in my setup. It is the core of my production tools. If I hit the Fantasy 5, I would cop a Motiff easy. If I hit the powerball though, I am Miko or Neko bound......

I'm a have to go with the Fantom. The sounds are amazing and easy to use.

Moog Lil Phatty: simple to program, fat analog sound
