Advantages: Full-length, nice key action Disadvantages: Not a real piano!
I use this stage piano in my rock band, barkerhound(.com). It is full length (88 notes) with what I would call semi-weighted keys.
I'm actually a pianist, so my knowledge of keyboards/synths is more limited.
However, as a pianist going to a keyboard I love the action and feel of these keys, there's really something to play against and the responsiveness is nice - not too light.
It has 6 different sound options - Piano, Electric Piano, Harpsichord, Vibraphone, Organ and Strings plus various other functions which to be honest, I don't really go near - I pair this Korg up with a Nord rack (better piano/organ sounds).
On saying that, I will be using this Korg as part of a piano/vocal duo and know that it is light enough to be wheeled about in it's flight case (I'm a girl, the boys I know carry it with even more ease).
If you ...

Advantages: incredible sounds Disadvantages: you need a Phd to work it!
KARMA -- Now the dictionary term for Karma is "seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad" and perhaps this is the most apt explanation of the KORG Karma as it has good and bad sides to it.
On the good side, this machine sounds bloody fantastic. All of the individual programme sounds are excellent (e.g Piano is faultless, vibraphone and music box are superb and the strings are excellent)
but the real fun starts in the combination files which picks a number of individual sounds and fuses them together, adds a bit of Karma magic and hey presto it sounds incredible!!!!!!!!!! Remember the KARMA is run off of the same engine that powers the TRITON so you know you're getting top class sounds. You then have a plethora of realtime controls (12 in total) all of which can be programmed so you can add effects, effect ...

Advantages: Light, Portable, Compact, User Friendly, Easy setup, works on all platforms Mac/PC Disadvantages: collects dust very easily, so keep cleaning, doesnt work well with vista
The Korg padKontrol provides a powerful array of hands-on MIDI control and includes professional drum software. In my opinion the Korg padKONTROL adds another dimension beyond traditional keyboard control for incredibly expressive and versatile pad control. In addition to accessing drum sounds and samples the padKONTROL can also control soft synths, effects, and digital audio workstation transport controls as well as trigger loops and video clips. I use the padKontrol with Ableton Live which from my point of view is the best combination of software and hardware for all your producing needs. The assignable X-Y touchpad provides real-time, natural-sounding flam?s and rolls while 16 great-feeling illuminated trigger pads and assignable knobs give all the control you need. Each of the 16 pads on the Korg padKONTROL Controller can be ...
