Whats the Diff Between Arranger & Workstation

[xtravel]

hi , can the gurus enlighten the issue ?

 

[kongwee]

Arranger let you have a "band" with just a touch of button and keys. Workstation, you must sequence(meaning writing or record) all the part that you need from scratch.

hi bro does kurzweil have any workstation other than the pc3x?

Kurzweil produced many acclaimed workstations, notably the the K2xxx series - K2000, K2500, K2600 for examples.

their current models are the PC3x series


Jordan Rudess was a famous user for the K2xxx series,

check out his youtube studies.

oh yes, Citymusic currently also put all Korg products to the back of the showroom,
I believe most people have resort to software instruments.

you just gotta to look out for used Kurzweil products from Luthermusic and eBay SG or here (soft.com.sg)


I remember someone was selling a K2500R sometime ago (owner of TinyMusic Box? and Erik Morpheus?)

myself owns a Kurzweil MicroPiano, would be glad if I can get hold of a Kurzweil K2xxx gear.


currently someone is selling a Alesis QS8.2 for around S$450 on eBay SG,
you may want to check out if you are looking for a used workstation.

Sorry - away for a while and didn't get to check forum. Quickly - a note on the middle C discussion above. Middle C is C4. Standard across all platforms. 261.626 Hz.

 

[kongwee]

Actually I got it wrong, C4 for Roland and C3 for yamaha. The confusion only rise with soft DAW. My Logic is set C3 as middle and my roland is alway C4. I don't have any problem cos it pitch the same note whether is my keyboard or soft synth. I read somewhere midi note 60 is middle C.
