Title: Hello,
Post by: 2010jazz on July 25, 2007, 07:23:34 AM
 :)  I'm delighted to join kara-moon musicians. My name is Dan Tong, and I live in Chicago, IL (USA).  I'm afraid I don't write much music, but simply perform music others have written. I play primarily an Akai EWI wind controller (3020 and 4000s -which I need to calibrate properly). Anyone familiar w the new Akai 4000s?

I heard about kara-moon at one of the Band-in-a-Box Forums where I was telling people about how good some of the acoustic sounds are in my new Ketron SD2 synthesizer. The best breathy sax sounds I have ever heard. The trumpets, and the Clarinet is also very good. As you can tell I'm mostly interested in synth sounds that most closely resemble acoustic instruments and I play mostly jazz and a bit of classical music now and then. I notice that Kara or Moon also uses a wind controller (Yamaha). I highly recommend the Ketron SD2 to anyone who has been looking for realistic sounding wind, brass, and string patches.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan & Welcome here  8)

The windplayer in the family here is mostly the lady, alltough i know allso a litle basic playing. You can see here at my homepage here : http://www.kara-moon.com/index.php?author=Kara

For windinstrument sounds we use the Yamaha Vlm70, not with the standard rom chip but with the enhanched turbo rom from patchman.

I know that ketron has some very good modules, but they are a bit over my budget  >:(

Enjoy your stay here, we have a marvolous community here.
