Any comments or criticism?

Nedim....it sounds awesome WOW!!!! now that's the way drums should sound on a KB.......thanx for sharing loved every minute of it.. Korg is AMAZING!

Never thought I would Nedim but got to agree with Donny, what about the MS...

Lol Tony...hahahaha...i cant even move around cuz of you without asking me about the MS.

Thank You both.

Is the Media Station considered a defeated lost cause like so many others now, or is it still in full production? or has korg Kronos obliterated all takers in the Synth world..?

Spot on "mi old ship mate", MS looks like its dead in the water

Sounds excellent, Nedim. The guitars, especially, are awesome!

So, this will eventually be available on the Korg PA3X...any idea when?

PS...I see you play the MS in an unusual position...does it help make it sound better?

There are a couple things the MS does that are second to none...The interface and control, when using VST's and Giga samples are unbeatable...it is near zero latency and you can not tell the sound and keys are not connected as the Kronos etc..

In fact I have found it impossible to get the same quality results with a laptop (even my high end laptop) and any combination of controller keyboards I have used ..15ms seems to be the best latency I have found..

The MS loaded with my 1 gig Steinway B giga sample and the Native Instruments B4 ( with the Lionstracs B4 interface) are unmatched by any other piano and organ sounds to date...

Just this capability is enough for me to use the MS...

Add the best Media player with an interface that can not be match anywhere.....you have a quality winner...

I don't know where Domenic will be going with the future support..but with the OS and hardware I currently use...it is working to perfection, and covering the needs I want...

The MS design is such that it has enough in common with Lionstracs new line up...so the update OS will continue...


For me...I do not need any updates to correct any present problems...It did take a few years to get to this point...but I am pleased...Organ, Piano, and Media player..it serves it's purpose..

I'm guessing Fran, but you have the 76-note Mediastation (as in Nedim's picture above)?

Latency is a real issue with most VST's and controller keyboards, plus some keyboards/workstations as well...are you saying you found the Kronos has some latency?

With the B4 interface, are you able to assign Mediastation sliders to control all nine drawbars? That would be cool.

Also, how does the MS's semi-weighted action work for both piano sounds and organ sounds...on par with the way your G-70 handles them?

In other words, is it a good compromise for both?
