Music Style: Electronica, New Age, Fusion
Back to Product Information
Sound: The sounds of Karma are not all new, but they are the best, when you play with a Wurlitzer sound for instant, it's the best Wurli sound you can find. the sounds are impressive, and Karma is so flexible you can change the sounds to even better! If your style is Electronica, don't forget Karma. I mainly compose Electronica music, in Schulze/Tangerine Dream fashion, And Karma is great for this. Also, if you are into Jazz-Fusion and Prog-Rock, Karma will be your main axe. It's a Triton with a not-of-this-earth control system. It's great for live cause everything is in control. And it's a killer system for the studio. I will have my Karma for the rest of my life, and I'm planning to buy another one soon, because I need to use 4 expansion boards at once. Quality: It's not very strong, and you have to take care of it. After all it's a musical instrument. Value: The price is realy good. I'm sure if it weren't a Korg I couldn't buy one. The Wow Factor: The burgundy color of Karma is realy sexy. I changed my home studio curtains and bedroom sheets to match to Karma's color. It's very beautiful. There is no other synth as beautiful as this one. I don't know this color is Mr. Kai's idea or Korg people...anyway, I admire that. Overall: Each time I record or play live, I will have a Karma beside me. I'm not a synth-freak anymore...I'm a Karma-freak, a Karma-addict and a Karma-maniac !

Sound: instant feel good factor, fairly steep learning curve, but when you start tinkering, it comes to life even more. Quality: Korg, I mean c'mon. Value: I got my Karma at a excellent price, I shopped around and was thrilled when I got it home, even now after two months I have not touched any other keyboard in my collection, It's a true beast that beggars belief. Manufacturer Support: I have emailed Stephen Kay (Creator of KARMA) and I can honestly say this guy is a genuine enthusiastic and approachable person. His replies were prompt and worth listening to. A true visionary. The Wow Factor: Never mind Deep Blue..........here is Deep Red! Overall: If this was stolen I would be gutted, as the prices seem to be coming down a little I would ask my insurance company to supply the Karma and ask them for an expansion board....there nothing like cheek !

Sound: For the sounds theKarma offers, I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in making dance/electronica music. I personally highly enjoy working with the sounds from the classic pianos expansion board, which is sold seperately. Feature: The most intersting feature to me is definitely the GE effects that could be made with the tweak of the buttons on the left panel. Awesome arppegiator! Quality: Having to constantly tap the buttons when editing tracks below the interface makes me worry they might come off at any minute, especially when you hear the loose squeaky sound.

Music Style: Electronic, downtempo, Hip Hop
Back to Product Information
Sound: Very, very beautiful sound that is so indefinately moldable it consistantly amazes me. The pads are more delicious than any other synth I've heard. Building sound layers with the Karma is totally amazing. It has helped me with my music greatly with it's moldable sound rhythms and real time filter fx controls. The presets are brilliant, and very inspiring to build your own. Recording and live sounds are very, very nice. Feature: This is a 10 + full of very useful features. The Karma real time 'analog' style molding is truly delightful. One of the best features is the four trigger pads you can program chords into. For someone who can't bust out crazy chord changes, you can use the pads to freak it with. Only suggesion would be to make these pads velocity sensitive. Quality: Theonly bad thing is the keys feel a bit light duty. Plus one of my pads is getting worn in too much, and doens't fire as well as the others, I just have to press a bit harder there. Value: definately worth the price. Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: Supa sexy, delicious looks. Overall: The Karma is my brother. I work with it daily and love every minute of it. I chose the Karma cos I got a chance to play with one for hours and hours one night and I was "sold." now I use it as a midi controller with the midiman usb uno and it works wonderfully.

Sound: DRUMS: 10! awesome other sound are nice (not the best) I give an 8 Feature: Expansion ROMs very useful. I wish it had more slots! (4 or 5 in total instead of 2)..GE so inspiring! Ease of Use: Not so easy to understand and to use...for in depth using you should need the Karma-lab software. GE a bit copmlicated but powerful Value: The only thing I had problems with my whole keyboard+joystick so I need to ship it to tech assistance 3 times! (cheap components for keyboard,I think) Manufacturer Support: Stephen Kay itself answered to me quickly! he was so kind and helped me a lot

Music Style: Live Electronica
Back to Product Information
Sound: Sounds are captivating, organic and full -- competes with any other synth in its price-range. Feature: The amount the user can alter the sounds is amazing, and it's sequencer is easy to handle. The ability to save to internal memory would be nice, but it doesn't take but a second to load a disk. The Karma function more than makes up for any "frills" that may be absent. Quality: Korg could have spent more money on the buttons and key-quality, but then again, it probably wouldn't have been affordable with premium features. Value: It's easily worth it's asking price -- it's the first synth that lets you arrange, compose and most important of all -- play -- loops as an actual performer through an instrument interface. This thing beats the daylight out of soft-synth hardware controllers because it's simple yet as complex as you want to make it at the same time. The Wow Factor: This thing makes you feel like an electronic performer and will make any forward thinking musician excited about playing live again - forget knob twiddling and basement programming on your laptop. This is an instrument and will offer those willing to take a chance more rewards than I can list. It's so much fun, and sounds so good, you can feel yourself growing as a musican just by playing it. Overall: If it was stolen, I would replace it immediately -- renter's insurance is a must!

Music Style: Hip Hop
Back to Product Information
Sound: It sounds good when playing the combinations and programs. When you turn off the effects and try to record you see how thin the sounds really are. Feature: It has nice features and functions. It allows you to create music that you normally wouldn't create. Quality: The keys are cheap... Value: It's a good tool to have to use with other synths and sound modules but I wouldn't use it as one of my main synths. Take your money and buy something with better sounds. Manufacturer Support: I never received a response to any of my e-mails. The Wow Factor: The sounds are thin, the keys are cheap, the color is awful Overall: A keyboard can have all the features in the world but if the sounds aren't good then you don't have a good keyboard. With its features, if it had better sounds, this would be the best keyboard on the market. I sold mine...
