Re: should I buy the G8

I don't think i need the samplin function - I have it in my X, and have just used it a couple of times for fun, and for some intro sounds for "comfortably numb", and "dream theater - sacrified sons"... :)

I've tried the M3 too, and can say that I would probably not ever buy it. It don't suit my needs at all, and i specially don't like the sounds it produces. the fact that it is only a 49key also keep me a bit away.


Hahaha... Juice machine, yes.....! ;)
The OASYS is F*****ing overpriced. I hope korg will release a cheaper version in a couple of years that is better :)

I thought about the G7 or G8 in fact. maybe this will be a good solution for me, a lot of extra money - but maybe worth it.

I will maybe buy the Clavia Nord Electro 2 73key.
If i get it for a very cheap price. (but maybe actually just as an extra synth)
I love the b3 sound on the clavia's - and think this is the closest anyone has get into a b3 sound. I havn't heard the PC3x yet, but after the research i done, the kurzweil stab has very often NOT mentioned the b3 on this one... if this is a coinsidence...? i don't know. but what i heard for the b3, didn't blew me away. (i play a lot of b3 based rock in one of my bands.. Deep purple, and things like that, so i need a good distorted organ sound).



hehe.. I don't take anyones word for granted when it comes to instruments, since EVERYONE has an own opinion on what sounds good. But i took your tip, and did the resarch that was needed to check out this - and i was sure that this was quality sound.

The Jp is a wonderful thing :)
i use it mostly live connected to my Ax-7 and it works and sounds great.


Another synths that are on my wishlist now is a Minimoog.. I love the sound of it ;)

lol.. I see myself 5 years from now live - i will probably look like the new rick wakeman with a rig of 30 keyboards... =)

Best,
Tidy

Oh, pardon me :)

Then it was the 61 key I tried... that's still to small - but i didn't know about the 73 and 88...

But my other statements keeps me from buying it :)


- Awful b3
- Bad pianos
- not very good synth sounds
- some good strings
- some good pads

My opinions ;)
