This one is a good showcase for the M50 sounds.
You're not going to get a lot of sleep in the next few days, Thom.... :D

Thom, this should be a demo for the Korg  :;

Great sounds, I’m really impressed with the strings and the piano :-

Of course the composition is spot on, like everything else you post  :-

Oren,

I don't think Korg's factory demos do the M50 any justice,so it was & is,my goal to exibit the M50's true potential...that being said,I'm very pleased you like my song-thanks a mint! :-
There is an individual on the Korg forum that refers to the M50 as merely a toy,in contrast to the Extreme & keyboards such as the Yamaha Motif XS...so of course,I'm out to prove him wrong & to make him eat his words! >:D :D

A new toy ? I imagine this is your X-mas present for yourself...  ;D
This track is a good showcase of many realistic sounds for sure
there's no doubt you're the most prolific music-writer on this board ;)

Cheers

L.R.,

You're too kind Sir...thank you very much for the compliment. :D

Actually,it's only in the last 2 years that I've been this busy with writing music,as I am retired & not having to work 40 + hours a week really sparks creativity...also though...I live the most boring life you will ever know,as I rarely ever go out,unless it's a trip to the grocery store & just running errands.
I live a very isolated existance & writing music gives me a reason to go on living..as I'd turn into a piece of dirt,otherwise.Yeah,my M50 is a dream come true..I really adore this keyboard...I just can't keep my hands off of it! :-

 :o I see
I didn't consider the fact you have much more time than me (yes, I work 40 - 45 + commute time for 40 mi.)
but anyway you're really talented in what you do.  ;)

Cheers

L.R.,

Even though you don't have very much time to devote to your craft...you still manage to come up with some amazing arrangements..particularly with retro tunes...so you're very talented as well. 8)

Thanks again for your kind words. :)
