Korg Legacy Collection has not been converted yet, although they will do it.

My Sony laptop (1.7 ghz Centrino-768Mo RAM) idles at 1% with 5.2 loaded, and that's with Outpost Firewall & NOD antivirus in background tasks + connection to my wireless network.

Did you check your idle without 5.2? It may or may not be the cause. Anyway it seems too high for me.

I have it too and never regretted buying it. The keyboard on the controller has small keys so if you got grizzly hands it might not be very practicle. Nonetheless it's also well-built and seems quite sturdy. The fact that you can assign each and every knob on it via midi is useful too outside Korg's...

If you have to choose go for 1.8ghz with 2Go RAM rather than 2ghz with 1Go of RAM. As for RAM you need to set it up in pair to get he full benefit of DDR so 2X512 or 2X1go, same brand & specs. Since it's very easy to switch RAM and HDs on those new macs you could just go for the 2ghz and buy 2Go...

It seems like it'll be possible to swap the new proc into the current Macbooks for all the geeks out there who are not afraid of getting their hands dirty.A guy posted something about that on Xtreme-something website.

Take it with a grain of salt, don't send me the bill if you fry your precious

No worries, It's already available for Intel-Macs http://www.ableton.com/index/upgrade/intel-mac I don't own a mac yet but I may make the switch soon. So I've been reading a lot of stuff about them and they look really really cool. The shared graphic card was a concern for me but I've seen a benchma...

that's pretty impressive, where is it 159? Playback in France sells it 156E with 2 years warranty and free shipping for the UK. It's a very good price since thomann in Germany retails it at 198E and they 'usually' have good prices. I bought mine from Playback as well as a Mbox a while ago, they're ...

For €159 you can currently get Korg Legacy Collection a package of synths : MS-20, Polysix, Wavestation and Library Cell which allows for creating pads using both MS20 and Polysix at the same time. It also comes with a midi controller replica of the original MS-20 which is very usefull, especially s...

There are some at the Korg Legacy User Yahoo Group :

Don't forget regcleaner + defrag after uninstalling stuff on Windows.

I play guitar too and I use the Impulse thingie to make beats for my tracks. Don't forget you can load your own samples into its 8 slots, you can also tweak the sound of the samples in an audio editor or in impulse itself, or anywhere really before loading them. If 8 slots seem not enough just load ...

4ace the step by step could really shine on the Ableton Wiki and help all those who have or will have a FCB or similar midi controller :

Thanks Phat, I was looking for ideas to build up beats just using Live; there are some really neat tricks there.

Just digging this one out to mention the Mobius VST plugin which is an (incomplete) emulation of the hardware Echoplex looping device. I just found out about it a few days ago and haven't really tested it yet but it has plenty of functions and allows Overdub etc in real time. The best thing is that ...

I ordered one earlier this week, it's not yet here. Basically I want 3 things from it : 1/ Make the the creative/recording process more user friendly for me. Since I play guitar it'll be much more comfortable being able to remorely start Live etc 2/ Once I have a song more or less defined, being abl...
