Demo Roland XP 50 and Korg Triton Le

[Sylviamarta]

Thank you

[Sylviamarta]

hi , i have a korg tr ( =korg triton le ) and I play in a pop-rock band I find the korgs sound too thin is the xp 60 , 50 or 80 more "fat" sounding or could you recommend me a sample based synth?

[cj4everjava]

@Sylviamarta :

Hi,to my opinion: The xp series are (compared to Triton Le) ' fatter' indeed when it comes to acoustic instruments and also strings and brass. On the other side I think the Triton Le to me is stronger in electronic/synthesis sounds. The leads and pads over there sound fatter to me then. I think when you compare these two synths, the Triton Le needs more tweaking to get what you want to hear and Roland sounds are more ready-to-play. Sample-based you may consider Roland Fantom X

[Sylviamarta]

@cj4everjava thank  you

[ThughGThing]

@cj4everjava Hey dude, I have question to you regarding the keyboard (Roland XP-50), I wonder, has this product have special acoustic / solo instruments sound that included Hip Hop and RnB/Jazz loops in the equivalent of the 90's, (not only the content of the modern atmosphere as examples Techno / Trance)????

And how many sounds does it have??

Looking forward your answer. Thanks!

[cj4everjava]

@ThughGThing :

Well, you can expand the XP-50 with SR-JV expansionboards, and to your particular case you could add the SRJV-12 Hip Hop Expansion, a lot of typical 90's atmosphere hiphop/r&b sounds, you'll get 256 extra patches (sounds) , 8 rhythm sets and 40 ready-to-roll rhythm-loops . Check out Google/Youtube for more info and demos of that card. That hiphop-expansion is quite cheap nowadays 2nd hand :-)

[ThughGThing]

@cj4everjava Thank you for recommendation. I want ask you the last question regarding the Yamaha MM6 and Roland xp-50

Which of these products have more high quality level, dynamic & realistic sounds to be sure?

[leovirgo2011]

@ThughGThing after all these months fuckhead ya still pming me with ya gay shit..................get a life pal

[ThughGThing]

@leovirgo2011 LMFAO!!

[cj4everjava]

@BrandonProductions1 :

Ultimate Apex stand

[BrandonProductions1]

@cj4everjava is the stand too small? because i wanna get one of those stands, but i'm tall.

[MrPappypaws]

Nice sounds & bruh ya nice on them keys :-) 1

[tmfitz]

does the triton le have any good sounds to create the reggae bubble?

[2keys]

@tmfitz For the bubble I would go with the roland XP-series. It has a organ sound called Ballad B and it is in all the XP models. If you are going to use for bubble only I would recommend the XP-10 since it has a kicking bubble sound: full organ. It is extremely lightweight and easy to carry + if you are lucky you can get it for around 200 dollars. I have been playing reggae music professionally for 7 years and I see all the big names using the XP-series (Buju, Steel Pulse etc.)

[giggidybdoto7]

can this get the sound of a Hammond organ?

[MrLeonardomontoya15]

Excuse me, I have a question!!

Does the roland xp 50 has d50, korg, and dx7 sounds??? like choirs, EP´s, pizzicatto, and orchestral sounds!!

I´ll be thankful for your answer!!!!

[2keys]

@MrLeonardomontoya15 Yes

[yaboichi]

how much will a triton le cost if i buy one today

[eltraidor2010]

damn.. you play pretty good man

[JuanPablo13011988]

Is it posible to add effects in real time on the xp50? I have the Roland Xp50 and i dont know how to use it very well so I ask you...

[cj4everjava]

@JuanPablo13011988 :

I don't have the XP-50 anymore, I replaced it with Roland Fantom X7 :-)

But anyway I never really used realtime effects-adding so I am afraid I can not help you with that anyway :(

Good luck anyway with finding the answer !

[perazdera1991]

triton is plastic tone for music!

[tengreenroots]

hey mon,,which keyboard do you think is better a roland fantom xa or a korg triton Le???pls reply,,tnx mon..

[cj4everjava]

@tengreenroots

Depends on your purpose, both are good-qualtiy synths/workstations.

For allround-use, if I did not have Triton Le, I would choose the Fantom XA. It has more polyphony, pad-buttons for drums and samples, and the ability or expand the XA with one SRX-card, suited to your taste.

But if one already got the Triton Le fully expanded (memory and sample-board) I would stick to that one. (Sometimes I find organ and strings of the Triton Le more pleasant)

[mcskeez123]

Xp-50 is the first keyboard I ever got and still have it. Although it doesnt work too well anymore, think somethings wrong with the power cord.

[mattliebl6199]

whats an easy to use korg workstation with really good piano?

[countrymetalman]

XP serie sounds much better than Triton LE or TR. XP-30 with aftertouch is the best portable synthesizer in general, Wurli piano on XP-30 with Keyboards of 60/70 card sounds much better than Nord Electra...

[RobinStrower]

I bought the Roland XP-50 recently because of your video (and some others here on YouTube). I love it.

Robin :o)

[dunkje1]

I knew you were from Holland. I can hear that ( prob cuz im dutch to)

Anyway, really nice video. couple of sweet things you played there.

5/5

[cj4everjava]

Je hebt helemaal gelijk ! (You are totally right !)

Thanks for your comment !

[kompa9]

Best 2 KEYBOARDS PUT TOGETHER!!

[SupershadowDOtCom]

the rol xp has more characther

[jesus5612]

hola man yo hago reggae y estoy por comprar un sintetizador tu que me recomiendas un roland ho un korg cual de ellos tiene buenos sonidos para  hacer reggae

[theislandmedic]

your reggae playing is awesome..please post some reggae vids!!

[pcpsteele]

oi oi, nice skills mate. I'm just about to invest in a Korg triton Extreme, but to eliminate any doubt, why do you think the Yamaha will be better? Cheers

[Carlosdaguitarfreak]

I would have to say the Yamaha Motif XS series would have to be your number one choice, because the Korg Triton Extreme has only 160MB of wave rom, while the Yamaha Motif XS series has 355 MB of wave rom sound. If you want more bang for your buck, go with the Yamaha Motif XS series

[santana22garcia]

sale me the triton how much

[cj4everjava]

Thank you for the comment. Mh, my own opinion is that I like the piano on the Roland more. The strings/orchestra I prefer on the Korg.

But I am sure that Yamaha Motif XS will be the best in both groups ;-)

[tecladosyamaha]

I am Sorry, but it was my brother who wrote, not me.Because,I left opened the section on youtube, and he wrote in the comment.Sorry, ok?

[tecladosyamaha]

and i speak spanish, and not english...I am from of ARGENTINA

[tecladosyamaha]

AND, you play the Piano very goog

[alixandergreat]

@cj4everjava hey man! i have a question 4 u regarding the triton le.....has it got a faeture like touch response ? i mean that when u press the key harder, the volume would also be louder etc? plz answer!

[cj4everjava]

@alixandergreat

Hi man, yes it can ! It does have aftertouch, so indeed when you hold a key and press it harder then the volume would be louder, or an effect can be triggered. All can be edited: what kind of effect, how strong the key-press must be etc.

[cj4everjava]

Thank you for the advice :-)

[processean242]

how do u mute out tracks on the triton?

i know xp50 have 8 track buttons

[muzikman2008]

I also have a Triton LE & XP80 :o) compliment each other well me thinks. Especially as the Roland XP90 has no sampling facility. I have used my set up for years in live and studio use. Was thinking about getting a Fantom G7.... but why??? i got all i need. nice!

[muzikman2008]

Ooops! typo! i meant XP80! no such thing as a XP90.... but if there was carling would probarbly make it...lol.

[123erasure]

I also have a Triton And Xp50.Nice demo.

[cj4everjava]

Thnk you.

Yes these are very nice 'easy' synths :-)

[mastertung7]

very very nice

[cj4everjava]

Thnx for your comment ! I also saw your video about the Roland JV80. I also have that one ! Still a nice synth to use, I keep it !

[rocker9181]

Oh, i forgot, is that your song at 2:40 if so can you post a vid of the whole song, if not, can you tell me the song name? good playing.

[cj4everjava]

Thnx for the comment :-)

Eehm, oh you mean the strings-part starting from 2:40 I guess.

It's not intended as a song, I was just doing some improvising, it just came up to me that moment so I played it.

[rocker9181]

Cant hear you

[89notes]

i nice demo. maybee a bit peaky here n there but interesting.they both sound ok in their own way.

[badjak123]

nice fingerwork!!

[cj4everjava]

Thanks for the comment man !

I checked your stuff too, and I see you are based in The Netherlands also. Well, jij bent ook lekker bezig, cool !

[tylerfireburn]

Are all the sounds you use in the reggae part of the vid presets? I have these same 2 keyboards.

[cj4everjava]

Yes, they are presets, no editing (yet).

[lennonfan123]

hey man how do you use the sequencer on the xp50???

[cj4everjava]

Hi Lennonfan,

I tried to use the sequencer a few times, but I think it is way too complex (or maybe I am not patient enough). The 'song' that I made that you hear in the last part of the vid took a lot of preparation ;-) . Anyway, I don't use it anymore.

[ham003latechedu]

i miss my xp-50

i accidentally unplugged the battery out of my roland xp-50 it has one expansion pack, but after unpulgging my batter everything was lost....can anyone help...if so please let me know .....send me a message.....PLEASE HELP

[kiksogue]

thanks dude. real helpful.

[cj4everjava]

You're welcome, thank you too.

[andreshead]

cool man !

[ldbboosha]

I got a xp-50. It helps that you can create your own sounds. i wouldn't trade my machine for anything in the world. except a Motif XS 8.

[beatsanctuary]

like thats gonna happen lol

[jundaahz]

The answer to all your jazz organ sounds is the NORD ELECTRO2.Hands down

[cj4everjava]

You are right !!! Hope that one day I can put my hands down on the Nord Electro 2 !!!! Thnx for reminding !!!

[jundaahz]

Im glad you agree.Just thought id put in my little 5c worth of what i thought was the best sounding "organ" sound.Even tho im not a keys player ive managed to hear and play on an electro2 and its amazing! For any TRUE roots reggae players in the game,this is what you need! The closest thing youll find to a hammond! But nice playing of reggae.Keep it coming...

[Soulzard]

My dream is a combo with FP-7 Digital Piano, Roland XP-80 and a Korg Triton Extreme, but the money lack does not leave me to carry through...

To this it says me demonstration that I am fighting for the certain combination... c(:

Nice Video...

[HMEMASSIVE]

Roland n Korg is a leathal combo

I'd sat that for reggae, the XP-10 is the champion reggae keyboard.

Nice presentation!

[2keys]

@HMEMASSIVE You are totally right. Even though you can get the same organ sound on all the XP's with a little tweaking. And the XP-10 you can actually find for around 200 dollars with a litlle luck. I've been playing reggae/dancehall professionally for about 7 years and the XP-50 has been such a blessing. I use for ALL gigs and I have the Vintage Synth expansion + Key's of the 60's & 70's and i never come short of any sound. Amazing that I bought it for 400 dollars! Jah Bless

[babeegyrl]

can you make a video of nothing butt reggae and what reggae band did u play for was it fiji

[cj4everjava]

No I used to play in reggae-band 'Poor Man Friend' , from Holland.

[voltaspeeder17]

Nice presentation of these synths ;)

[cj4everjava]

Thnx for the comment. And you too, keep on playing music too !!! ;-)

[voltaspeeder17]

Tnx man. Can i ask you something. When you'll have the time, could you please record a video, where you are showing the Triton sounds. I would really like to here best lead synth, pad and string sounds ;)

Tnx, Volta

[trjher]

can you post a vid where you record something ? want to see how it goes on this machine ;) talkin bout the triton le

cheers !!

[elektriknekta]

so u prefer the 50 over the 80? why do so many people prefer the 80 over the 50. i play reggae as well and im looking to purchase a xp-80 because of the deep organ sounds.but if i can get that from a 50 i dont need the 80. an example of what i mean is the keyboardist from the band midnite. he plays an xp-80 thats what made me seek one

[cj4everjava]

It's not that I prefer the 50 over the 80. IT was just coincidence that somebody ever sold the XP50 to me for a very good deal ;-)

But anyway, you are right. If you can find in the 50 what you want (organs are okay) , then you don't need the 80. :-)

Although I do not really know if they both work with the same engine or that the 80 DOES have a really newer synthesis-inside

[elektriknekta]

so you prefer the xp-50 over the xp-80. what makes the 80 so much more preferred? i play reggae as well and im looking to purchase an xp-80

[AfGsTuDiOs]

is this korg triton le a synthesizer or an arranger?

[cj4everjava]

The Korg Triton is a synthesizer, with a built-in sequencer to make own compositions. I think the sequencer has an arranger-like role too (but mostly I see arrangers on keyboards, as part of the preset-rhtyhms; the Le has some arpeggiated sound-sets that can function as arranger too).

[AfGsTuDiOs]

is this triton le a synthesizer or an arranger?

[Skamarco]

In welke reggaeband heb je gespeeld?

[cj4everjava]

w w w poormanfriend c o m

[Skamarco]

Ja die ken ik wel te gek,uit omgeving Den Haag toch!?

[cj4everjava]

Klopt :-)

Omgeving Leiden/Den Haag/Delft

Jij ook muzikant in een reggae band ?

[Skamarco]

ja ik speel toetsen bij The J-Stars,maar wij spelen vooral Ska met hier en daar een beetje Reggae...

[Scumbolegend]

Good work. If I were to buy a 2nd hand synth under a £1000 what would you recommend?

[cj4everjava]

Thnx for the comment.

Depends on the purpose, but 2nd hand under that price would befor example a Korg Triton Le, or Roland Fantom Xa, or Roland XP-series, or Yamaha Motif (just type in these words as search-keys)

[Tritonle7]

can you make a video with the korg triton Le ? i will apreciate it.

[cj4everjava]

Check my other vid ;-)

[dazzelya]

Great playing.. Dutch?

[cj4everjava]

Thnx for the comment :-)

Haha how did you guess the Dutch part ;-)

[dazzelya]

Very heavy accent:)
