|
|
Yesterday I had the chance to play both back to back at a friends house -- my Kross 2 his MODX.
we both really liked the MODX navigation/touch screen and many of the sounds are clearly superior. just beautifully thick and easy to assemble into something gargantuan.
but we were both surprised by the old-school ease of use of the Kross, particularly for drum tracks, beatmaking and arps. these were way more musical on the korg.....found nice grooves in various combis and was able to switch the kits or add perc arps easily -- and with more musical results.
obviously the MODX is newer and way more expensive and really should be the winner all the way around. I arrived thinking that I wanted one but by the end I was super happy w/ the kross all over again.
I'd be curious to hear other impressions..... |

It depends on your needs, I guess. I've never used drum tracks, beatmaking or arps, though I know Kross also has advantages in its sequencer and MIDI capabilities. But I'd take the MODX over the Kross for its acoustic instrument sounds, better feeling action, seamless sound transitions, FM synthesizer, custom sample loading, greater number of real-time controllers, screen/interface, and availability of a light 76-key version. But as you say, it's also more expensive. |

Well one a Korg the other is a Yamahaha.
If you are brain dead you buy the Yamaha and all the cr4p that goes with owning a Yamaha.
I had one once and never ever again

Over the years, I've owned far more Korgs than Yamahas, but I like both, and in recent years, have used the Yamahas more. The MODX is very nice. It's much closer to their higher end Montage than the Krome is to the Kronos. |

If your brain sometimes is turned on you should accept, there are also some that use more than one brands like Korg, Yamaha, Roland, Casio, Wersi etc, without fixation to one particular brand and without being "brain dead".
Therefore I reject this property - you are allowed to keep it for yourself, but don't use them in this forum, because that's a disrespectful, misanthropic term for many people inside and outside this forum. _________________ kind regards

I've used various Yamaha keyboards over the past 15 years and never had a problem with them. In my opinion the "Bread and Butter sounds" (acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and organs) on even the oldest of my Yamahas (Motif) are much better than the ones on my Korg Kross 2. I like the MODX very much but can't justify buying one since I already have too many keyboards! |
