The sounds of this keyboard are probably the most 90's thing I've ever heard! If you want to buy/sell music gear globally, check out Gearfacts on Facebook :)

This keyboard was popular in churches and sold in music stores dedicated selling to churches so.. that says alot about the sounds and the setup
@markstevens544211 ай бұрын
Don't be fooled by that, it's a very capable machine and will handle way more than just Church Music :)
@markstevens544211 ай бұрын
The ones that were sold to Churches were totally wasted - granted they had some great organ sounds on there but there was way more to it than you think. The Rival at the time was the Technics KN-2000 which I was originally going to buy until I got introduced to the i3 - Totally different machine and I am glad I bought the i3. I remember going to meet another i3 owner back in the day as he had soundbanks that I did not have and vice versa. We arranged to meet for swaps. I demo'd some tracks that I had done on the i3 to show him what it was capable of (Whitesnake - Here I go again and Is this Love) to mention a couple. He was blown away by what he heard :)

This was Korg's answer to the Roland E and Yamaha PSR series arrangers at the time. The i3 was assertively a Korg X3 minus combination mode with great arranger functions added.

It has the sound engine from the 05R/W, but it misses the combis, which make Korg synths sound so rich.

Another great board :) ai2 standard banks in this, right? Very rich sounds. Looked like a heck of a workstation in its day. Auto accompaniment sounded very Portasoundish :) Of course it's a nice MIDI player, but it should have all the M1, T, and N waveforms in there for programming ai2 4-layer sounds. The only editor I could find for this tho was MIDI Quest, and that is pricey.
@markstevens544211 ай бұрын
The accompaniments were loosely based around certain bands and songs. The Bonus was being able to actually programme those accompaniments to the song that you wish to play, all the instrumentation was already set up for you :)

Sounds like you are in prog mode rather than either Arr Play or Backing Sequence modes (these are the buttons either side of Prog mode) Select Arr play for playing along and Backing sequence to create your own tracks using the Accompaniments :)

Does this happen instantly every time you play? I could be a contact problem near the power input. Touching the keyboard might be just enough movement to stop that electricity getting in. If that's what it is, it's fairly easy to fix with a soldering iron.
