Korg X-911... a beast in sheep's clothing?

Post by Sir Ruff » Sat Aug 11, 2007 2:52 am

well, I don't normally write about anything new I get, but this this just showed up today and kind of blew me away.
I really didn't expect it to sound so damn raw and vintage, but I guess it is essentially components of a ms-20 in a pseudo-preset box.
I frankly can't ever see this being used as a guitar synth-the bass is so massive, even with just one oscillator preset on, it would be silly not to use it for this. there is just enough resonance on the filter to achieve the perfect "phwoah" sound... very rude!:twisted:
totally unlike any filter I have used before-again I assume this is part of the ms-20 legacy...
Actually this would be a perfect addition to a ms-10/20 setup due to all the inputs for pitch/filter/lfo/portamento... I guess there were special pedals you could buy for this, but surely other connections would work as well?
Failing this, I will at least be able to connect it to my cs15 for some 3 osc madness.

Unfortunately, I don't have a manual, and there's none on the net, so if anyone happens to know the inner workings of the "touch sense" parameter, and others, I'd like to hear!
Do you even post on vse bro?
