Korg M50
Hi all. Anyone use a Korg m50 with the stage? If so, how integrated is your setup? Do you use each one as a complimentary but independent keyboard for example, or are the two symbiotically midi together with sequencers , master clocks and patches working in unison?? Just interested to get ideas for my own set up. Cheers.

At one point, I had this combination MIDI'd together, just in a very simple way which basically allowed me to use the M50's touchscreen to call up the patches I wanted on the Nord. Other than that, they were independent (I played Korg sounds on the Korg, Nord sounds on the Nord, and didn't do any sequencing).

I have an M50 as well, although I haven't used it on a gig.
I think the best way to hook them up is just have either one of them just send midi program changes.

Thanks. I always get enthused about complex configurations, having keys triggering lush creamy pads, syncopated with layered arpeggios and crazy chord changes. Then 9 times out of 10 I end up in a blues gig, and have a piano on one keyboard and Hammond on the other for the whole night! Just as fulfilling but not quite as technical!

It's the lot of the jobbing keyboard player. If you really would like keyboards to be the centerpiece, have you considered doing something of your own? Your music, your terms. Never did JMJ any harm.

I'd like to do that, in fact I've written quite a lot of stuff that Id like to arrange. Not sure my wife would be up to losing me on another project!
