Originally posted by Tr@NzA Hey DJ Pete, im currently using a YAMAHA PSR-730 as my contoller, but im looking for a new one, to use wiv Reason, fruity, Cubase etc. The latency between Cubase, and my midi contoller is not very good, so I hope to get a Audigy wich has improved ASIO drivers.. What setup do u recommend for a amateur producer, to make decent productions???? Tr@NzA

well the gear that you have there is great for a amateur apart from
Cubase, if you were to start adding some hardware Synths with Cubase
thats getting into the Pro setup

a good midi contoller would be the Kenton Control Freak or the
Phat Boy

*drool*
Damn getting a rig like that takes a couple of decades and releases

Anyways, the korg karma is basically a korg triton with some more functions, personally I don't think it's that bad

Plus I'd like to add that not being able to play the piano (e.g. read notes n stuff) isn't a big deal. You'll still need keys becuz they are good for just tryin out melodies, chord patterns, or trying out sounds as you tweak them. I can't play the piano, but the keyboard is essential in my setup!

ok so lets say i get a MIDI keyboard (evolution), i'd still be able to ask for a pretty good gift for xmas.... what should i get? any opinions?
