Any opinions on the Yamaha CS6X? There's one for sale locally for $475. I know nothing about this synth...

I played one a good while ago. Loved it to bits.

Nothing more to say than that really. It's a great keyboard's, and for that price, I'd buy it myself Smile

Regards.

Would it be better or worse than say, a Karma? I have an option to buy one of those locally as well, including EXB PCM-01, a stand, adapters, Chemistry sounds, two pedals, etc. for more around $1000.

P.S. I'm also concerned that this thing will be too dance-oriented for my tastes...I don't perform much of that at all. In your experience, are the other sounds, such as the acoustic pianos/strings/woodwinds/organs reasonable enough?

I'd go with a Karma. It has the same sound engine as Tritons so it's pretty good for everything. The PCM-1 gives you some more pianos and organs to chose from...

I vote for Karma...
It's a triton with some cool extras...
Consider that you can fit a MOSS, too, which can be a great competitor of the CS6X.
Can't go wrong witht the red beast Wink
