Korg M50, Paul Baraka, fun with preset # 001

I got the idea for this song while experimenting with one of my favorite electronic keyboards: a Korg M50-88 (on preset 001, if you're interested).
The instrument includes some great sounds and I use it mostly as a controller to get ideasflwoing. I like this melody and a finished production should be available on an upcoming album (Biofear 2010). I decided to make
this work in progress available to you so that I may give you some insight into my creative process. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm a professional classical music composer, did you think this keyboard will help me to have top quality sounds like a real symphony? Because actually my main interest is a Korg Oasys but I don't have the money to buy one so I'm considering to buy one of this. Did you recommend the M50 for things like that?

[PBARAKA]

@MassacreXE Well not to sure for Orchestral stuff, I would give it a 6 out 10. The sounds in the M50 are meat and potato stuff, great fun, but not classical. If you only have one synth then I would suggest save up and get the Roland G8. The Oasys is great but I personally think is more pop/urbain/jazz oriented to my taste. But hey a synth is like pants; you have to try it and see if it fits you... Have fun!

Hi I wanna start learning how to play the piano, keys, and synthesizer would you recamond the M50??

[PBARAKA]

@abslicous Yes I think it's a great synth you can have a lots of fun with this, and for the same price as a good piano only synth, this is definitely a better value... but to learn the Piano it is always best on a real Piano. Good luck!

What do you think of the keybed and the quality of the piano sounds on the M50?

[PBARAKA]

@here2Bunknown, 9/10 for great keybed, 7/10 for piano sound.

@MassacreXE Buy samples instead. EAST WEST, GARRITAN stuff like that

@MassacreXE

No way, Just find proper computer samples of high quality, like sampletekk TBO, Galaxy2 pack, Kawai-EX from acousticsamples
