Re: COMMENTS ON MP-7 FROM AN OLD DOG - for Emu's people

PANZARE:
The Karma has a lousy, no-action-whatsoever keyboard, by 
comparison the keys of the M1 are like a Steinway. Take that into 
account.
The sequencer is powerful, and the Karma engine is even more 
so, but the whole concept in my opinion is a trifle overblown, 
meaning that, after all, is just an arpeggiator. 
The machine could have more realtime controls, but the sounds 
are good, as always with Korg.
I hate the Korg OS's, and with the Karma at least you don't have 
that unnerving touchscreen which is slower in responding than a 
broken ansering machine.
Roland has the best OS's. Yamaha has the most complex 
though being quickly responsive.
The best keyboard workstation ever done, in my opinion, was 
Yamaha SY-85 from 1993. Anybody who has it will tell you there 
is nothing it doesn't do, sequencer- or synth-wise. It even loads 
samples. And realtime controls for filters and mixer settings. 
Unsurpassed.

I like my MP7, and I've already called my rep to order the 
Protozoa, the Sounds of the ZR and the Beat Garden Roms.
However, I really can't wait for somebody to explain me how to 
download this damn OS from my I-Book because I can't figure it 
out.
Cheers.
Max
