The Korg PA50SD - Now That's the Way to Make Music!
Surprisingly, the Korg PA50 has a lot to offer for its price. It's a synth with a sound engine like that of the Triton Le, which uses a hyper integrated synthesis tone generator system. That alone will blow you away.
Its lineup of impressive features include polyphony, 4 effect processors, 2 sequencers, 89 effect types (for mixing) and 660 sound programs. You can store up to 160 user-defined settings. The Backing Sequencer it has allows you to capture up to 8 tracks of style accompaniment. Plus, during live playing or recording, the DJ-style crossfader of the Korg PA50 allows you to transition from one song to the other seamlessly. With this, you can load the next song while the current one is still playing. The XDS dual-song player makes this possible.
The piano sounds produced are definitely top-notch. High-quality instrument voices it possesses are saxophone, guitars, trumpet, brass, drums and strings, plus, as an added bonus, you can edit and modulate these voices to produce just the sounds that you need. Combine this with the use of other controllable features of the Korg PA50 like the joystick, fade in and out, tap tempo and more and you have a lot of fun ahead. With some practice and patient reading of the manual, you can make serious music with it.
The keyboard is not weighted and feels like any synth keyboard out there, so you will notice anything unusual in this area, even if this is not your first synth. Its casing is made of plastic and is at par with other brands and models in its price range. The Korg PA50 is not flimsy but being a little careful is not a bad idea. It is not something you'd want to be too careless with, either.
It can be used for stage performances or a practice instrument either at school or at home. You can take it with you as it only weighs in at about 25 lbs (about 12KG - not counting the weight of accessories you'd want to take with you). It also has built-in dual cone speakers with 15-W amps that give its rich sound, perfect for both songwriting and gigs.
Since it's a synth more than just a digital piano, there are countless ways of controlling and editing the sounds that you might want to check the manual for. If you lose the manual, you can download it from Korg's website. The Korg PA50 OS is also available online if you need to download it, too. In fact Korg back-up is really quite good in this area for most of their keyboards.
This synth would be useful to musicians as an additional instrument to their set or as the main arranger for recording or live performances. While beginners can use this as a regular digital piano and just plug and play it out of the box, they can later explore other musical styles with a few button pushes so it's pretty flexible. You can compare the Korg PA50 with the EXR-5 or Yamaha PSR and you will find, I think, that the sound quality is a steal for the price.

Retro Review - So How Did The New Millennium Start For The Budding DJ Or Record Producer?
CD Decks: The new American DJ DCD 500 Dual CD Player is £649.00 and has tons of features, for instance, the DCD-PRO500 is equipped with 6 Flash Start Buttons, which allow DJs to create, store and recall samples "on the fly" while music is playing. With this feature, the disc jockey can play a loop of, say five seconds, then sample it and save it in stored memory on one of the Flash Start Buttons.
The Denon DN-2600F features 10 seconds of 'shock-proof' memory per drive. This guards against audible interruptions due to external mechanical shocks such as bumps or other hard vibrations, which is especially helpful for the mobile DJ as well as for nightclub-installed applications.
DJ Mixers: We saw quite a few new mixers and I have to say you really do seem to get what you pay for. Like your decks, your fingers spend a lot of time twiddling and sliding on these things so the build quality is important.
The ESO Hip mk2 is an Italian built 3 input modular X-fader which is great value at £150.
The Stanton RM Three has 3-band kill switches and high quality professional long life faders at £239. The Stanton SK 2F is an updated version of the popular SK 2 which features a true optical fader for crackle free operation. If you need more features for a bargain price then you can't go far wrong with Next! Pro100 for £250 which is a 4 channel mixer with an FX loop.
The Ecler HAK320 is a rather retro looking mixer which is aimed at old school turntablists. Although only 2-channel, this mixer is true quality.
If you are looking for a professional club solution the Xone:62 by Allen & Heath is a broadcast quality 6 dual-stereo mixer for up to 12 stereo devices.
The latest Numark EM360 (which we will review soon) has a built in Kaaos Pad, which controls the way an effect is applied and can be controlled completely by the X-Y pad. The pad can also be scraped or tapped to control the effect sound, letting you produce switch-type effects that are impossible with knobs or sliders, and making it possible to control the effects in time with a rhythm or phrase - just as if you were playing a musical instrument.
Samplers: E-MU introduced the ESI-2000, which although is a 'budget' sampler can be expanded into a full-blown big boys sampler.
Yamaha, a latecomer in the sampler market, brought out the A4000 and A5000 samplers, which we loved. The A5000 has a stunning spec featuring 126-note polyphony and is 32-part multi timbral.
Akai have no new samplers this year, but if you are an S5000/6000 owner, the new Operating System, V2.0 is now available for download.
Synth, Sampling and Sequencing boxes
There have been quite a few interesting developments in the GrooveBox style pattern based samplers notably the lovely looking Korg Electribe ES-1.
Roland's MC-307 blurs the boundaries between DJing and playing your tunes. Building on the success of the MC-505, the MC-307 takes the pattern-based sequencing pioneered by the original MC-303 in 1996.
The MC-307 aimed squarely at DJs, with the ubiquitous pitch control slider on the right hand side, as well as push and nudge buttons, which have been designed to emulate the operation of a turntable. This makes mixing in tracks from a live source intuitive and familiar, so you can treat the MC-307 as a third record deck.
Yamaha have a similar brand new product, the SU200 Phrase Sampler and for the financially challenged, Zoom now have the £250 Zoom Sampletrak ST-224.
Sound Modules: Yet again E-MU produce one of the more 'out there' modules in the form of the XL-1, the funky orange box that can really open up your ideas. They also have the B3, which is a complete Hammond organ in a rack, if you like that sort of thing.
Roland have been making monster sound modules for year after year and 2000 is no exception. XV-3080 is just stunning and although expensive worth every penny.
Synths: A strange one this year was Alesis who are normally associated with all the Midiverb, Quadraverb effects, but decided to roll out the Andromeda, an absolute monster of 16-voice digitally controlled analogue synth with a weighted keyboard 72 knobs and 144 buttons. We personally became rather attached to the Korg MS2000 Analog Modelling Synthesizer that has an arpeggiator, vocoder, virtual patch bay and modulation sequencer. Squelchy wiggly sounds abound here!
Effects There have been some FX boxes aimed at DJs this year. We reviewed the Electrix Mo FX where you may coordinate flange, tremolo and delay by simply tapping in the tempo (or receive MIDI clock) and putting each FX block into sync mode and that's it - instant synchronization. To get Fatboy Slim's: "Rockafeller Skank" sound you put your mix through the Mo-FX delay and crank the speed knob.
Software Cubase VST is now up to Version 5, which gives audio and MIDI recording, virtual synthesizers, score editing & printing, 16 / 24 bit capability and internet live sessions. The big trend this year seems to be towards virtual synthesizers, The Steinberg Model E is a fantastic software emulation of a Mini Moog for £149, many others are free!
Native Instruments now produce Dynamo v1.0 which is a preset version of Reaktor which gives you modular style analog synths for about £100.
Steinberg´s Media Production System, Nuendo is a 200-track audio recording facility, it's a complete 200-channel audio mixer, and it supports surround sound.
Propellerhead Software who produced the amazing Rebirth and Recycle products now have Reason 1.0. Reason comes in the shape of a classic studio rack, packed with all the gear you could possibly need: Samplers, Analog synths, Mixers, Step time drum machines, Effects, and a realtime multi-track sequencer for fast and intuitive music making. All of Reason´s 16 devices have the look and feel of the real thing and you can use each device as many times as your CPU can handle.
It's £299 but you can download a working demo now.
And Finally...... If you want to put a track together now and you are either, on the dole, a student or have a crap job you will have hated this article. Stop whinging and get a PC (preferably a P133 or better) and buy Making Waves v2.3 for £39.99. It's an audio sequencer that can make great tunes in a couple of hours.

Digital Pianos V Acoustic Upright Pianos, Ultimately It's Your Decision!
Digital pianos are electronic instruments that reproduce piano sounds. Unlike traditional upright pianos, they have no hammers, no strings and no soundboard to produce the sound you hear. Instead they have electronic sound chips and speakers.
Investing in a new piano can be a somewhat overwhelming experience with so many brands, models, styles and finishes available. Your first decision may well be whether to buy a traditional acoustic upright or a digital piano. The following unbiased information will help you to decide and hopefully make the process clearer for you.
Even with today's sampling technology individual notes may be quite accurately reproduced, but the tone of notes sounding together, as in an acoustic piano - with complex harmonics resonating against a flexible wooden soundboard - cannot be 100% matched. Many people also prefer the appearance of a traditional piano, which too is an important factor to consider. A good upright piano will hold its value much better than a digital. They can last anything up to 100 years, while digital models are constantly being upgraded and would not hold their original value.
Digital pianos usually have a variety of features that make them an attractive alternative to an acoustic piano, whilst still having 88 piano style "weighted keys" (these mimic the feel of an upright piano). Some of these features are as follows:
Many different tones (sounds) other than just piano Built-in rhythms and accompaniments to differentiate your playing The ability to record your performance MIDI compatibility Low maintenance - no tuning ever required Headphones can be plugged in to allow private practicing and also to prevent disturbing anyone Easier portability and less space required Volume control Less expensive
For the beginner or someone who wishes to perhaps "try" piano without spending a huge amount of money, the Casio CDP-100 is the perfect one to go for. Our entry-level upright piano is the modern compact Schaeffer finished in Mahogany High Gloss.
Digital pianos in general are usually less expensive than upright pianos. Having said that, both Yamaha and Roland offer higher end digitals, which can cost several thousand pounds. These often have a huge amount of features, for example the Yamaha CVP-509 has over one thousand tones (sounds) and a 7.5 inch display screen. The Yamaha CLP-370 and CLP-380 both have real wooden keys and synthetic ivory key tops giving them almost an identical feel to the real thing. Yamaha produce many different styles of digital pianos from their entry level "Arius" to the contemporary and stylish "Modus" through to the Clavinova.
A very popular brand of upright piano is the Waldstein range. Models begin at the modern 108 which is the smallest of their range, up to the 130 being the tallest. All of these are available in different wood finishes with matching accessories being available, i.e. piano stools etc.
Roland offer a superb alternative to those who would love a grand piano but perhaps do not have the space or budget for one. Their RG series offers the "digital mini-grand piano" (RG-1), which is a smaller type of digital grand piano.
Plan to spend plenty of time browsing, and do not make a decision before you see as many pianos as possible. Try them all out to get an idea of the differences in touch and tone. Hopefully the piano that you do decide on will be in your home for a long time, so it is essential that you buy something that you are completely happy with.
Digital Piano or Acoustic Piano? Ultimately, it's your decision!

What To Expect From The Yamaha DGX 640 MIDI Keyboard
The DGX 640 is Yamaha's replacement to the DGX 630 and is the newest in its line of portable digital midi keyboard pianos. It's designed to closely resemble a real piano in feel with its 88-key weighted Graded Hammer Standard keyboard action.
Like in a regular piano the lower note keys have a heavier feel to them while the higher ones are lighter to make it more responsive. What sets the DGX 640 apart from a regular piano is the fact you can actually control the keyboard's sensitivity to match your playing style.
A great feature is the Live! Cool! And Sweet! Voices - a huge collection of acoustic and electronically amplified instruments sounds that fully captures the natural presence and playing of a real instrument.
It has both USB to Device and USB to Host capabilities allows you to connect USB flash drives in order to read MIDI files and date (or to save MIDI files and data) or to connect it to your computer so you can download directly or play your computer recordings on this digital piano and midi keyboard.
The 237 types of Digital Signal Processor or DSP gives you a range of ambience effects, distortions and dynamic processing tools that can let you play around with the sound to your liking. If you're thinking of playing a song from pop to say a ballad you can do so with the Easy Song Arranger.
With the built in music data base you have a wide range of options that can be further enhanced with files from your computer or USB flash drive. And if you're a beginner or simply want some assistance then the Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.) has built in tutorials that offer you a step-by-step guide on how to play the music. On top of that you can still play like a pro even if you're not with the Performance Assistant Technology (P.A.T.).
Other features and specifications of this robust digital piano and midi keyboard include a total number of 535 voices with 64 polyphony and 4 featured pianos. There are 35 reverb styles, 44 chorus types and 26 harmony types. 165 preset styles and 30 preset songs give you a wide range of music to choose from.
It comes with a pitch blend wheel, a chord dictionary and two headphone jacks so you don't need to wake up the neighbors when you want to play or hear your creations. With its built in speaker and sound system you can bring it and play it anywhere.
Of course bringing it can be a hassle since it is a little over four and a half feet long and weighs approximately 46 pounds but if you are able to do it then it is a best buy.
The Yamaha DGX 640 digital piano and midi keyboard is one of the best for people who are starting out learning to play piano music or for people who have the itch to compose music. It may not be compact but it does make up for it with its robustness and style.
