Making a Quick Beat with The Korg Krome EX 61 | Will I Keep it? 

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

me too...lol

Oh, God. I can so relate to everything you've said. I almost got a Krome EX in April 2021, but ended up getting the new Korg i3 in the end. I still second-guess my decision weekly, but I really wanted a very light and portable instrument that was under 10 lbs and that was dead-easy to use, where it would just force me to actually play more and improve my actual keyboard playing skills. I have a computer science background and a terrible tendency to tweak and change everything to death, and simplicity is a lifesaver sometimes :). I also find hardware much more gratifying than the plugins. I love Arturia's Pigments 3 so much, but it feels like one needs to have a latest gen 8-core CPU with a 3.5 Ghz base clock to really take advantage of it.

@@BoloDaProducer - Don’t feel bad. I’m a gear/software/content junkie as well. I am picking up a Krome EX from a pawn shop. I get a lot of gear from there.

​@@ivanl.8201how's the Korg i3? I'm thinking about buying one.

😂😂😂😂

Dope!!

I feel you! Back in the early 2ks I bought a Triton for $500! Couldn't sleep on such a deal. It was from an engineer named Studio Ton (E40, 2 Pac, etc). Back then I was working at a cafe and just starting to gig. Man time flies. Great keyboard for the lab and live gigs.

Lol

Thanks

@@BoloDaProducer no doubt mane 💪🏾

It’s a cool piece of gear

(*whispers*) Yamaha.

Only want it cuz korg has the best lead synth sounds

Thanks 🙏🏾

Lol

I still thinking about getting the retro MPC

@@BoloDaProducer i got a sneaky feeling they are gonna do a retro design for the X.

You’ll get there

Thanks

🔥🔥🔥

Yes The V Collection is Dope! I got it and it’s 🔥🔥🔥

Dope!!

Thanks for watching!

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Yessir

Dope!

That’s definitely a good thing! Thanks!

Had to

😂

Thanks

Yessir

Dope! I love my argosy halo desk, only wish I could hide wires better

@@BoloDaProducer Yeah the build quality of what Argosy offers is unmatched with an industrial sleek design constructed of a steel metal frame body and MDF wood built like a battle tank that will last several decades. I think that's why you see so many Argosy console desks in a lot of Mixing Rooms and Professional Control Rooms as an industry standard that's starting to replace the larger format SSL and Neve consoles since the large format analog consoles are phasing out In favor of Hybrid Mixing as analog consoles are getting smaller cut down size. It's a good thing I bought my Halo before the price spike as it's now $2K with taxes for the base model with everything going up.

True!

True

I had one a while back 😂😂

Yessir!

Yes!!

Still has to go through 1/4 cables into preamp

@@BoloDaProducer I've always convinced myself that going the MIDI + DAW + VST route was cheaper because you can piecemeal it. But shit, I definitely could have bought a nice hardware setup by now. smh

Dope!

I got that modx too! Thing is a beast! Accompanied with my juno ds and a bunch of vsts im good 😎

​@@qtippz I guess everybody who thought in the early 2000s it would be cool to sell the hardware is now cured. I miss all my stuff ;-) But in my opinion a pain in the ass ´when used as a midicontroller, due of yamahas strange midi channeling (in Performance Mode) I wonder why they donT do it like the other vendors...

I definitely understand 🔥🔥🔥

Lol I feel ya!

Yeo

I was definitely looking at the deep mind but they were sold out 😞

@@BoloDaProducer very fair point! Certain synths have been a nightmare to get hold of in recent months. You’ll make some awesome beats with whatever equipment you have anyway.

Lol, last week to compare with using usb midi

@@BoloDaProducer tuché 😎🥃

Still got my korg TR-61 it still knock!! Got the classic triton strings and leads in it that i still use today. I also have the MPC 2000xl and the mpc live 2.

@@teemanz2264 I ended getting a krome 61, but I'm gonna get a DAW. Basically it'll be used as a controller so I wasted my money lol shouldve got a midi

@@Neptunejc you should look at the live2. Coming from making beats on the workstations, 2000xl. Its a DAW standalone with sounds and sampling!! The possibility’s are endless. And you can use it with a computer if you want. The technology on it is crazy. I dont think i will need anymore gear for a while.

Dope!

Had the Yamaha, don’t like the midi implementation

Can’t say yet I need more time with Krome to see

Yep!
