When looking for the perfect keyboard, whether you are a professional musician, or just learning how to play, it is important to check out and compare some of the 'giants' in the business. Korg is a company that is well known for their quality keyboards, and they have a history of producing excellent electronic organs as well. Let's take a look at a few of their models.

Korg's Karma model keyboard music workstation is a great example of their dedication to quality and innovation. The Karma is a 61 key wonder that has a hyper integrated synthesis system and a full 32 MB of PCM ROM. It comes with 425 multi-samples and 413 drum samples. Additionally, the Karma comes with 640 user memory programs, and 768 user memory combinations.

The real jewel of the Korg lineup, however, is their Korg Triton series. Their Triton Studio model in particular sets a high bar. The Triton Studio comes in a 61, 76, or a full 88 key version that includes actual weighted piano-like keys. The keys are literally just the beginning, however, as the real beauty of this machine lies in its electronic components.

The Korg Triton Studio has 1,536 program locations in writable memory. There are a total of 512 pre-loaded programs, 256 sounds, and nine drum kits. The Triton Studio really shines when it comes to sampling. It has the capacity to sample in high-grade stereo or mono at 16 bits. It has a total of 16 MB of sampling memory, and you can expand this up to 96 megabytes. The Triton is a sophisticated recording studio quality machine that can take your musical ideas and put them in motion. When looking for a good Korg keyboard it is not necessary to limit yourself just to new models. There are some excellent used Korg keyboards out there that sound just as good as a brand new model, and cost significantly less.
