Korg Re-Issue mini-MS20 Monosynth!!!!

Yeah, that's the point - the IRIS does have the same technology implemented. Also worth checking out is the Sound Toys plug-ins, made by the very same guys that designed the Eventide fx. But now Eventide is getting some of them on plug-in format, native. Yeah, the outboard gear of them is just completely out of my league.

I run a simple MIDI setup, as I only have to hardware synths. I have the Virus connected to the SL, both in and out, I then have it setup as a midi external instrument on Logic if I want it to read some notes I drawn or recorded previously, or hit the automap button so the led goes off and I can play notes and record the audio directly, for example. My firewire interface also has midi interface, so that's connected to the Korg, same deal, but I can also put the midi Through on that from the SL, so I can play them both, or just one (all it takes is turning the volume down on one of them). No latency problems here.

If you're looking for audio interfaces, and you can afford it, then there's hardly anything better out there then the RME's interfaces - both in sound quality, converters and pre-amps. And you get black magic lower latencies with those as well. But they're sort of expensive. But it works with any given DAW and it's totally hi fidelity stuff.

Your post reminded me that I'm running out of audio inputs on my interface for direct connection and it would take some kind of mixer to get new synths in and being able to have them all connected at once. Would like to get one with 3 band analogue EQ, like the Yamaha's, that let's you choose a given frequency to boost, would be nice. Or something along those lines... Since you have keyboard training and all, what do you think of the keyb action on the novation, btw? I think it's rather acceptable, much more so then other cheap midi controllers I've tried. At least I've grown used to it eheh...

Thanks. WHAT Korg do you own? The only Korg I have that I need to somehow incorporate in my space is a Radias Keyboard...an underrated synth IMO.
I was incredibly discriminating when deciding on a few midi controllers and the key action is indeed acceptable on the Novation SL MKII. We also get that extra midi out, which is nice. One gets spoiled with keyboard feel and action once you have the keybed of Virus, which is same on MEK by the way, so with SO many midi controllers out there, took my time. I also have an older Korg Kontrol 49 because it has a vector joystick and 16 pads for activation of whatever and this came out WAY before the Ableton multicolored pad controls out now, and it has touch sens. encoders and sliders as well--was orig. marketed for the Korg Legacy Collection but use it for my Wavestation SR rack and will eventually use it when I decide to tackle high learning curve of the first incarnation of Elektron SFX60 Monomachine, as it accepts Vector control as well---only thing is Korg put a crappy keyboard on it!! I may very well sell the still in box new M-Audio Axiom Pro 61 as that was when was thinking using Pro Tools--it has the BEST keybed and action (better than the Novation), but am also still in evolution of making my set-up be an intuitive and ergonomic space, so shall see. Isn't it really ODD to have that unused blank long screen to the top far right on the SL?
