Korg=Good JR lead sounds?

[King_Ellesar]

I was wondering if i got the new Korg Extreme, would that have capability of making/programming a good lead sound that sounds like the leads JR uses frequently? i listened to the demo on korg.com or "extreme Ra" and it sounded decent. Someone told me that his leads are "too thick" to have on a Korg because it requires up to 7layers sometimes. But i heard from someone else that i could "fake it" in combi-mode. whats the backset in doing it in combi mode, if i were to do that? i have a feeling i may not get the exact same lead sound, but may i get pretty close? im interested in Korg cuz i heard its easy to use esp. for programming, and i am a newbie at programming. id appreciate anyone's opinion :D

Go ask at the Prog Sounds-forum... :D

The thickness can be done on a Korg (2 layers op program-mode, and 16 programs in sequencer-mode...that makes 2 times 16 = 32 layers thick....in theoriy), but the question is if it will sound the same. I think you can get pretty close. Remaking exactly the same sound is almost impossible even if you have a Kurzweil. Both synths can make great lead sounds, so choose whatever you think fits you best.

What i like about the Korg Triton is the interface (really easy and fast soundediting). What i don't like: it's midi-connectivity and filteringoptions, it's hard to use in a setup with multiple midi-connected instruments. I think the Korg sounds sometimes very organic...perhaps that is in de filters. Sometimes the sounds are too extreme though.

What I like about the Kurzweil is that is perfectly build, a heavy duty keyboard, so to say. I can't say anything about interface or midi-stuff since i'm not familiar with that. I think the sound-engine is very divers. You really have alot of flexibility, but it's sounds a little "digital" and cold sometimes, in my opinion....a bit industrial maybe. But the piano's are great!!!

Remember these comments are just my opinions, but perhaps it helps you.

What does that mean? i thought you can only be in one mode at a time....like program mode or sequencer mode? please explain, im kinda a newbie and am not yet familiar with they way the Korg works

1 Program=2 Oscillators=2 Timbres.
1 Combi=8 Programs=8*2 Timbres=16 Timbres.
1 Sequencer Track=16 Programs=16*2 Timbres.

Ehh...you can get OK sounds I suppose.
Too digital sounding for my tastes.

hey, thanks deceit. FL, have u heard JRs Extreme RA off of the Korg website? its under the Triton Extreme mp3's. I think it sounded cool, and there is a lead sound that sounds pretty close to his sound, but not quite.

FL, does Kurz tend to have a less digital sound to it's leads?
