Logic Express 7 And Midi, Sounds? Options

[hushhurt]

Hi - I am very new to the whole recording music, so you will have to excuse the "noobness". I recent bought a mac g5 with logic express 7 and a karma korg keyboard. I can trigger sounds within logic via the keyboard, but I was wondering how I could dump the sounds already on the keyboard so I can use them in logic. I bought the apple pro series book but haven't seen where I am able to do this in the book. please help!

Well, I would guess that your Karma probably sounds pretty big... any kind of hardware synth generally sounds really good right off the bat - Don't be put off by the facory bundle synths. I generally have to work pretty hard to get a good sound sometimes with Reason even. It takes alot of combining effects (especially compression) to get them going. Go to samplepoolz.com & I think they have links for virtual synths that work pretty well for free. I hear good things about Crystal as well (crystal.com or krystal.com I'm not sure, but its easy enough to find) & the downloads are generally small. Native Instruments' Reaktor is not cheap, but it is an AU bundle of synths, drum machines, tone generators, samplers, etc that sound incredible right out of the box (a bit of a CPU hog though) and is worth every penny.
