Ensoniq Asr 10 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Ah... the ASR-10. This was a pivotal sampling synthesizer back in the 90's when it was made. The technology behind this sampler still has musicians, engineers and songwriters still looking for some version of the ASR series (they made an ASR-10, ASR-10m rackmount, ASR-88 and ASR-X). It was a fully blown...

Steinway Virtual Concert Grand Standard Version Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The only thing that beats this product is actually sitting at a recently tuned quality grand in a nice room. I got so excited by this sample set that I bought a 3 pedal controller so I can feel even more like I'm playing an actual piano. I only wish this had been available in the late 1970's when I got...

Yamaha QY100 Music Sequencer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the best drum machine out there, because it's the only one I could find that allows you to substitute any yamaha keyboard sound for a drum. In other words, instead of the limit sounds you get from other drum machines (snares, kicks, symbols, and maybe bass), you get EVERY sound with this thing....

Yamaha SB79 Silent Brass System for Trumpet Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This thing is great if you need to practice without bothering folks in the next room. I used this quite a bit in college. The echo effects are fun to play around with and the pickup doesn't distort tone as much as I had anticipated. This device produces a lot more back pressure than advertised; just...

Korg M50 61 Key Synthesizer Workstation Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really cannot offer any insight as to the positives and negatives on this keyboard. When you have this level of control and power at your hands then frankly only the musician can decide if the product is worth adding to their music set up. But I do feel the best way of showing a product like this is...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am a bassist, guitarist, and vocalist working on my own project.I did not have the money to throw into a Korg, Kurzweil, Roland, or Yamaha board.

Behringer Ultratone K3000FX Keyboard Amplifier (15 inch with Tweeter) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this amp a year ago, or so. I found it to be very well made, not cheap in any way; lots of features and flexibility. Even though this is a keyboard amp, I bought it for use with mic, acoustic guitar, and bass. It handles all well, with no distortion. So far, I have not used this for any gigs,...

Electro-Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer Compression Guitar Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The electronics is awesome. It takes a little practice timing-wise to use it like a sustain pedal for the guitar. But it works. And it's awesome. The reason why I'm not giving it a 5-star rating is because it uses the worst switch you can image. Why would they use a switch that is so small and so loud?...
