[tyebillion]

Nice chords.

[WinterWineStudio]

@tyebillion Thanks

[rotor9494]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a keyboard for Dream Theater-esque sounds?

[WinterWineStudio]

@rotor9494 Depends on your budget, but from low to high:

KORG M50, KORG M3, KORG OASYS... and maybe one of the Kurzweil

[midanelcancio]

everything from 0:44 on reminds me of some bourne music :D

[ZanderclausSP]

Your synth playing is outrageous !! Keep up the mteal rock videos.

[leariox9xxx]

what tone is that

[WinterWineStudio]

Sorry, I don't remember... I sold this keyboard a few months ago

[leariox9xxx]

@WinterWineStudio what was wrong with it

[WinterWineStudio]

Nothing... I just used it for a couple of shows with an 80's cover band and I didnt really need for anything else... I was thinking of using it in the studio but my plugins are just lightyears ahead from this. Its a good performance keyboard but for me, its not very good for studio work

[leariox9xxx]

@WinterWineStudio what keyboard do you suggest that isnt as much as this

[WinterWineStudio]

that's hard... the M50 is very cheap... maybe a USED Roland XP-60 or JUNO-G... just depends on what you need... search everywhere (musiciansfriend, ebay, sweetwater..) read reviews and search youtube for video demos

I am trying to hook up my M50 to my DAW (sonar), but I heard to use the sounds in the synth I shouldn't use the USB connector. I am really confused. Do I hook it up through the 1/4th inputs on my audio I/O, and if I do will it become an audio track? If you could, please help.

Thanks.

[WinterWineStudio]

Yes, you can hook it up by USB, so it works with the PlugIn software, use it as MIDI control and the 1/4 outs to your interface and it records as an audio track. I personaly didnt like the software

[TheZiqan]

thank you so much..yea i heard the software can get annoying

[toppsoul]

Great stuff

[wamadeus]

why all your videos have bad audo video sinc?

[WinterWineStudio]

I recorded all the M50 Demo Videos, using my Macbook's camera, and the audio was going in from the M50 to a PreSonus Interface, and into QuickTime Pro... Its slightly out of sinc, but I guess it sounds better than most other demo videos here.

I could have recorded what I played on Logic, then move it to sinc with the video, but I didnt want to waste so much time, my purpose was to show the Sounds, so it being a little out of sinc didnt bother me.

Great video, i am thinking of buying the M50, i have tried the M3 and i love it, can i expect good sounds from the M50 too?

[WinterWineStudio]

It's basically the same sounds as the M3

[tiagopadua]

@haakondale Yes. Great sounds! M50 has the same sound engine than M3 (EDS) just a little less polyphony and can't record samples into the m50. I suggest you go on a store and try it - you won't regret.
