Come on, if I write here is to help otheres- guys like you. I am full time musician, it is my job, I do not waste my time, neither anyones else. It is not running after next hottest stuff but what works really. Like Novation SL very promising at first, you expect they will correct the bugs etc but if they dont I dont have time for such shit, I cannot stand as a fooll on stage when some machine fucks up. So I get stuff that works if it does not I get rid of it.
When I write my opinion here it is after giving a very serious try that no press reviewer would ever give, 30, 40 in this case maybe 100 hours.
NOBODY needs/can to invest 1000 hours to find out if something is good enough or not. I spent weekend with Jomox09 enough to know how good and for what it is, and that just to examin the sequencing options, for sound an hour would be enough. Or you mean I am retarded musically and technically and should have spend 2 years 12 hours daily with Korg MX to realise how great it is ?
I know how some companies send certain products to celebs and then advertise them as "users". Takamine was using John McLaughlin name in Germany and France for 3 years, till I told him about it. He remembered receiving it and gave it away to some struggling guitarists without even checking it out.
Read more carefully what i write, MX is excellent for beginner who wants almost "good" result almost instantly, which may work for some live use or "cheap" productions. It simply want cut for anything else, technically it cannot deliver more then it does and it is very, very limited.
I dont want to argue about it, dont care, but I wish somebody "warned" me like I am doing it now. I dont care for the money spent but definitely the time wasted.
I guess I spent much more time then you did with MX, I will never believe anyone serious ever used it other then accidently. There is nothing there in Electrotribes that you cannot do with real instruments from Korg or others.
Why a hell anyone would need to use that having tons of better stuff the mentioned guys have at their disposal.
The fact is I have MX in front of me right now checking what is there midi or audio I should, could backup before selling the box. The problem is that almost everything is "almost" only, sound and the rest, you just bloody cant fine tune anything with it, you have good "sketches" ideas but then you hit the limit when you want to refine it. It is just fucking frustrating because it wont make sense exporting just the midi. Probably just recording the audio as reference and then reconstruct the ideas on real hard or software. I better cut it here as I really getting pissed that I ever got this bloody toy, it is so frustrating.
Conclusion if you are musician dont even start with MX because after some time you will hit the barrier and realise you were wasting time.
Regarding the links someone might write that Rikfy Ray uses MX on stage while in reality it is only midi master and tempo control and there is no single sound coming out of it.
