The Logic Off Topic list

I own a Korg Trinity and an XL-7 with a P2k Rom (Hardware version of 
the Proteus 2k module, which I used to have), and used a Korg Triton 
extensively for about six months at a previous day job. I also have a 
Korg Oasys sound card, which has, among other things, much of the 
Triton multisample set, and a module identical to the Triton signal 
sample playback section. (For $500 new - pretty neat)

Generally speaking, Korg boxes are very wet - they use the effects 
section on their boxes extensively. This can make working with them a 
little difficult for a couple of reasons - the sounds don't sound as 
good without the glistening effects (which you won't have the 
horsepower to do on multiple channels), and they are harder to fit in 
the mix. However, they do sound >really< good - there's a reason that 
the Triton is blowing away all the competition right now. Even on the 
Trin the sound are still awesome and 'current', and it does well as 
a 'single instrument at a time unit' over the XL-7, and softsynths.

The emu boxes (P2k etc) have a very sparse effects section. One the 
whole this is a good thing - they rely on good sounding samples to 
begin with. I started on the Trinity, and while it's still a gorgeous 
beast, I wish I had had something like the P2k - a very sparse 
effects section. Why? Dry instruments are much easier to grow 
musically with, and use in arrangements.

My 2 cents.

Subject: [L-OT] What soundmodule


Hi,

The patchbay thread was a very interesting one imo and I got lots of 
useful information out of it. So, here's another question:

I'm looking for a general all-in-one ROMpler. I currently have an old 
Roland SoundCanvas 88 and a Technics WSA1r (which also has lots of 
samples), but I feel I could use a "good" ROMpler.

I'm looking into the following options:
* Roland XV5080
* Korg Trition Rack
* Emu Proteus 2000

I'd use it for all kinds of things: mostly dance projects, but I also 
need pop and R&B sounds. I know the features of all these synths, but 
it'd be interesting to read some comments on their studio usability 
and 
their sound. Any info you wanna share? If possible, please reply to 
the 
OT list. Thanks.

(this is CC'd to everyone who was involved in the original thread on 
the 
LUG)

Bye,
Joeri
