- Keyboard magazine called it "...the world's hippest mall organ". It's the
- 61-key high-end version of Korg's interactive music workstation line and the
- quick-fix answer for jingle writers, song writers and Italian restaurant
- singles. Play authentic full-blown professional arrangements of songs you've
- never heard (straight from your fake book) for that quick Ben Franklin
- tip...create standard midi files or backing sequences of Casey's top 20 in
- minutes...not hours! This board has a full GM sound set in addition to 128
- full bandwidth Korg patches. You can even create and store 64 of your own
- patches. Can't find an on-board style that's right for your song? You can
- create your own!
-
- Yes...you may find cheaper "interactive" keyboards...but you will never find
- one that sounds as good or is better implimented. This one blows its
- successor (the ix300) completely out of the water but, you get what you pay
- for. i-3 sounds are better, it has more patch and arrangement editing
- capability and it sports a nifty top-panel mixing board for real-time
- blending of different componants of the performances.
-
- Why am I selling? I just bought one of the last of the i-2 (the 76-key
- version) boards ever made. Korg has discontinued the line and the i-2 and 3
- boards are going to begin to become scarce...new ones already are (just check
- your local music store).
-
- Don't confuse this with the newer, lower-resolution Korg i-4, 4s, 5, 5s and
- 5m. Those boards seem to have been made to compete with the home keyboard
- market and do not even begin to approach the high-quality sounds and
- performance implimentation of the i-1, 2 and 3.
-
- Do you work with a band and play single gigs? Then this is definately the
- board for you! I will be happy to ship (I have all of the original packaging
- materials) the keyboard, all manuals (there are 3, counting the addendum) and
- copies of all ten Korg style diskettes to the highest bidder. DO NOT RESPOND
- TO THE LIST!!!!! Please e-mail me directly at <Foxers@aol.com> with your
- highest bid over $1500.00 US. This is one of the last of a discontinued
- breed. I was able to pay for it in extra tips over a month because of
- unfamiliar (to me) tunes that I could perform on the spot at the happy hour
- gig I was working at the time. It really does keep tip dollars from slipping
- away (provided you have the music or a great ear).
