Hi, Im just about to buy my first ever keyboard and need advice setting it up to my Powerbook G3.
Im thinking of buying the Novation KS5 or Korg Triton le (Any good?) Would these be OK for most types of music? As a beginner I will probably be experimenting with all type's of music but I am interested in 'Movie/Soundtrack' type of music. Do I need to buy a midi interface to connect the keyboard to the PowerBook, something like the MOTU Fastlane? My setup is PowerBook G3/400mhz (Pismo) 512 MB Ram OSX 10.2.6 Thank You Very Much.

Hi: I highly recommend the Triton. It has a good quality keyboard action, high quality sounds that run the musical gamut, great effects, and sampling. There are a lot of patches that would work well with soundtracks. There is hardly a serious midi studio that doesn't have one. It's sort of a Swiss Army Knife. In other words, if you had to be stranded on a desert island with just one keyboard . . . . Go to a music store, put on a pair of stereo headphones and listen to the sounds of the Triton. You'll see what I mean.
Plus, ask anyone with a Korg keyboard . . . they never break. The MotU Fastlane would be fine. MotU is a "pro" company. |
