Guest Karmakoma Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Hi all, i play guitar in a alternative rock band, the problem is that i dont know so much about keyboards and synths i want to use it like radiohead do, more or less. i have been looking information and i want your opinion about this , and what do you think is better for me. Clavia Nord lead G2 Clavia Nord Modular Novation K-Station Novation Ks4 Waldorf MicroQ keyboard Acces Virus Indigo. thanks for your help. Quote
Guest soliptic Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 off the top of my head -- do not get k-station -- because it has no multimode filter, limits the use for weird / abstract noises / sound-design / etc.... nord modular - if u dont know much about synths, a modular will be too complex microq ?? - is this a virtual analog? i'm not sure. if its not, if its some weird waldorf wavetable thing, then again, if u dont know much about synths, this may be too weird and difficult possibly get nord lead ks4 virus as all these are fully capable and well respected virtual analogs. even then, tho, this advice is crude and generalised, any of the synths you list are excellent kit, and in the right hands could give excellent results. best advice is just to get to your nearest music tech shop and ask to try them out! play around with as many of them as you can find and see which u prefer the sound/interface of.

Guest Karmakoma Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 the problem is that where i live.... in Tenerife ( an island of spain ) ... cant play those synths, only have korg , roland or yamaha. and customers as clavia, acces, novation, and more... are not here. thx for your help. Quote
Guest spacemonkey Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 slighty off-topic about radiohead, i read they have a new album, i loved the previous 3, will be listening it this week, if it is anywhere as good as the last 2, this one is gonna get played till it's completly worn out! Quote
Guest Karmakoma Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 its amazing, one of radiohead best albums ever. i put in second place , first for me is ok computer, and then this one. listen it. Quote
Guest spacemonkey Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 great gonna check it out this week! is it more of the synth/spacey stuff of the last 2, or more back to the guitar driven maddness of ok comp? Quote
Guest Karmakoma Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 thom said that for him is like ok computer 2, but i think that is like ok computer + kid a = "hail to the thief" have guitar tracks and electronic tracks, but all the time with an magnific melodic work, for me the are the best. love that group Quote
Guest primitive brain Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 save some money and get a korg z1! Quote
Guest playa mango Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 are many to chose if you want it for a rock band buy a moog or a roland grovesynth less expensive... for psy trance buy a nord modular g2(the best of the best) Quote
