440 Forums _ GarageBand, Soundtrack _ Garageband 2 For An Old Korg M1 Guy?

Posted by: HEHDaddy Thu 16 Jun 2005, 03:03

Hi there. A long time ago in a galaxy far away, I had a Korg M1. I loved making music using its built in sequencer.

Can I do the same thing using Garageband 2 and one of the keyboards they sell on the Apple site?

Cheers

Yes! Plenty of instruments / sounds in garageband and a usb kbd will let you play in your own riffs.

Garage Band allows the use of Audio Units and the Korg Legacy collection has a Korg M1 emulator - A bit pricey though.

Fairly certain GB2 also has a "Keyboard Typing" function. This allows you to use your computer keyboard as ivories, which can be nice if you can't afford a good keyboard right away.

HEHDaddy,

If I remember correctly, the M1 has Midi capabilities, right? And the M1 has one of the best lightly weighted keyboards, ever. Like the DX7! Great action response, right? So, why would you need to use anything else?

I realize that you said "had", but just in case you still might have it, ...they don't make em like they use too.
