def. interested in the miko but i want to see regular people using it...not paid people
Well I just got back from the store (Washington Music Center) that had both the Neko and Miko. They arent that big in person, especially the miko. now heres a description of how it works:
1. everything is touchscreen based, much like the triton. so you select various things on its desktop screen although you can use the trackpad just like a laptop:
1. sounds -> which goes into all categories like strings, drums, synths, orchestra and whichever one u pick opens Karzyn (more on that later)
2. apps -> which gives u the option to select Sonar, Reason, or Reaper
3. utilities -> stuff like Mimik
now once Karzyn is open it integrates all your softsynths into a rack-based interface and organizes them all by category like i mentioned earlier. the racks it opened were one for Purity, Wusikstation, and Plugsound because these were the only VSTs Karzyn detected that had string presets in them. you dont see the actual vsts themselves, just rack representations. at the top of Karzyn you select the presets. so say i select a patch, it references Purity so only Purity will play. the next preset i select references Wusikstation so that will only play. however, i can have both the Purity preset i selected before and Wusikstation play at the same time by touching the mute icon on purity's rack.
the miko and neko have a great workflow which is similar to hardware workstations, very hands-on, quick ,and easy thats what makes it worth it over regular desktop/laptop based setups.
