I30 Interactive Music Workstation
Plays and looks as new. Home studio use only.
This was my first experience with the i30 and it is easily one of the most under rated keyboard that Korg has ever made. What a REALLY neat keyboard!
Everything is working correctly and cosmetically it is above average.
The Korg i30 Music Workstation is a versatile high quality synthesizer with a graphical touch sensitive screen for setting up backings, choosing styles and sounds, setting up performances, loading and saving data on disk, setting up MIDI parameters etc.
Performances are a combination of right hand primary keyboard, right hand sub keyboard and left hand voices combined with various settings such as their relative volume, keyboard split position etc.
The Korg i30 Interactive Music Workstation can be used in many ways:
It can simply be played live using a range of built-in sounds and/or sounds that the user creates.
It also has a large selection of built-in accompaniments that can be played fully fingered or just using one or two fingers, and mix and match is possible (sometimes fingering the chord, sometimes using just one finger, without having to switch modes – the I30 figures it out). Each accompaniment has 4 variations, 2 fill-ins, intro and ending sequences. The user can also create their own custom accompaniments that will then be stored in memory.
It has a multi-track sequencer which can be programmed to play orchestral or band parts with or without the user playing along. The sequence can be pre-loaded with a MIDI file and then worked on further to perfect intonation, choice of instrumentation, etc.
User-created information (such as sounds, automated backings, sequence programming) can be accommodated into the internal memory of the I30 and/or on disk; it uses 3.5in 2HD floppy disks.
Foot pedals can be attached and used for volume and for other functions – the switched pedals can be programmed as to what they do. There are also two switches on the panel which are also user-programmable.
The i30 features 488 new sound programs and 176 new styles. A very interactive music workstation with a gigantic selection of high-quality sounds and music data. The i30 features a wide range of musical Styles and with 64-voice capability, gives you more power for realtime performance, entertainment, or music production.
A Multitude Of New Sounds
With a gigantic 18 Mbytes of PCM data, the i30 is packed with high-quality sounds covering all instruments and musical needs. New piano sounds, drums, percussion, brass and guitar have been added to make the i30 the best-sounding of our i-Series keyboards.
