Factual research is your friend and it seems like you got caught slippin on your terminology (multi-timbral vs. mono-timbral) but anyway you'll adapt. IMO, both of these keyboards have strong points and weak points but just like any other gear neither one by itself will make you dope! TBH, I know cats that tweak the mess out of Casio sounds and make that ish sound magnificent! To each his own, ya dig!

thats tru but you(in general) are limited with opinions verses someone with experience. thats like sayin the mpc aint sh!t compared to fruity loops if you've neva had ya hands on one (visa versa). sure everyone opinons vary but to jump the gun iz different. it might not be the case but im sure for some thats wassup. iuse a micro korg and even though the micron looks gay as phukk (thats what turned me off from buyin it) and really cheap wit a dinky azz screen ive neva used it so thats all i can say.
terminology? who?

well if the midi controller has more keys than the korg then it would make perfect sence. i would be dope to have a keyboard with the lorg midi'ed up to it. plus you can ray charles it if thats ya thing.


It's cool to controll it cause you can use different octaves at the same time. Like Im playin a bass line with the left an then I can just jump to the higher notes on th MK without switching octaves etc.
BTW, anyone listen to "BE" by common and KW? That little keyboard melody is tight, what is that? Sounds like it could be done on the MK

Don't get offended homie, I was referring to you with the terminology bit, did'nt you start this thread by asking what "timbre" meant and if it had anything to do with you only being able to lay down one sound via midi? If I read that wrong my mistake, I'll keep it moving.

oh no none takin bro. yea i did start it. at the time i was yung wit the asr x. i was usin the timbre's but i had kno idea what it was then until i start readin books n shit. i do ma homework but yea i will admit some terminology be fukkin me up thats why i never really rely on manuals just hands on. thats how i learned everything i kno. ma first mpc came wit NO MANUAL and i really didnt have anybody to show me anything. u phukked me up wit the mono timbre though. i had an idea thats what it was but wasnt sure. im just now learning about anything other than the mpc with midi n sh!t like that. other than that im thorough wit the box. but your right cause im startin to adapt now 8)
