A solid workstation based on the proven AI² technology. The Korg N364 is a keyboard that features classy, proven sounds, and so many of them! If I should pick a certain category of music the N364 is more suited for, I’d say soundtrack/ethnic. Why? Because while it certainly has all the usual pop/rock sounds we are used to, it also features some gorgeous ethnic instruments, and moving pads (a la Wavestation) to die for: evolving soundscapes, that absorb the listener and don’t let go. This synth also features a powerful 16-track sequencer, so it’s easy to compose finished songs on just this one machine. The on-board arpeggiator is a welcome addition, and while it doesn’t have numerous arpeggio patterns, the ones on board are the most used anyway. The excellent effects complement the N364 very well, and give it that “pro” touch that just makes it shine. Also, the inclusion of a floppy drive allows the user to save song and sound data on common floppy disks – a useful feature, especially for live use. And let’s not forget the excellent aftertouch, that allows us to control all kinds of parameters from the dynamic keyboard of this synthesizer!
