Hi, Im just about to buy my first ever keyboard and need advice setting it up to my Powerbook G3.
Im thinking of buying the Novation KS5 or Korg Triton le (Any good?)
Would these be OK for most types of music?
As a beginner I will probably be experimenting with all type's of music but I am interested in 'Movie/Soundtrack' type of music.
Do I need to buy a midi interface to connect the keyboard to the PowerBook, something like the MOTU Fastlane?

My setup is
PowerBook G3/400mhz (Pismo)
512 MB Ram
OSX 10.2.6

Thank You Very Much.

Hi: I highly recommend the Triton. It has a good quality keyboard action, high quality sounds that run the musical gamut, great effects, and sampling. There are a lot of patches that would work well with soundtracks. There is hardly a serious midi studio that doesn't have one. It's sort of a Swiss Army Knife. In other words, if you had to be stranded on a desert island with just one keyboard . . . . Go to a music store, put on a pair of stereo headphones and listen to the sounds of the Triton. You'll see what I mean.

Plus, ask anyone with a Korg keyboard . . . they never break.

The MotU Fastlane would be fine. MotU is a "pro" company.

i fell in love with the tritons many qualities,, but i would say to save a few hundred more$ and go with the classic (touchscreen) as apposed to the le.

Here is a site you (and anyone else with a triton) might find helpful
http://www.tapesh.com/triton/

If you're thinking of soundtrack work, a good alternative to the triton is the yamaha motif series. It's not as heavy on the hip hop sounds as teh triton, but the "real instument" sounds are excellent. The motif doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a fully loaded triton, but it's not as expensive either

Triton is good. good selection of sounds. I have Roland stuff for sounds. New Roland stuff is great You do not need a sequencer on a keyboard. They all are worthless to me with computer seq..rs stay with a small contoller cheap and buy as many softsynths as you can.
Good luck!
