Krome 88 vs MOX8

Post by KronosSoundDesigns »

Regarding the Krome 88 vs. MOX8, ive been looking at a lot of youtube stuff for both of these boards and can't decide which to buy? They are both in my price range. Can anyone shed some light on my dilema?

korg Krome vs MOX8

Post by johnnypro »

I have an MOX8 and a Krome61. If you're gonna do a LOT of patch tweaking, then I would go Krome. I like the MOX8 and use it basically for a Piano and "bottom" synth. I haven't gotten into tweaking the Yamaha at all as it's kinda daunting without a touchscreen (Yes I am soooooooo spoiled, and have little time). But the sounds on the Yamaha are 1st rate, and even tho the Korg has 6x the ROM memory, I don't think the piano sounds that much better. But I'm using them with a wedding band. Also, while the "one man band" combis are cool on the Krome, the ones on the Yamaha are better, IMHO

thanks, Johnnypro, i am wondering, why haven't you tried tweaking sounds with the MOX8's PC editor, or have you? could you break down how many actual patches the MOX8 has aside from the 256 performances i read about. i mean how many program locations are there in the MOX8 and maybe tell me a little bit about the structure of them?
