so i guess my cousin eneded up not likeing the M50 because he didnt really like the sounds in it. so he traded it back and got a Fantom X6.

Do you think the Fantom X6 is better in anyway?
i havent tested it yet.

so i just read some reviews on it, herd it has great drum tracks which is good, but i havnt tried it yet, and we barely even knew how to use the M50, so i think this Fantom is gona be much harder to use and we'll probly only use about %60 of its full features,because we dont really know how to sample and stuff like that.

Anyways, since we just began, do you think we Should Keep the Fantom X6, or would it be better to trade it in for the Korg M3?
I think the M3 would be easier for us to use,but i guess my cousin wasnt looking into that. Any suggestions will be helpful,Thank you

If he didn't like the sounds, the M3 MAY be better but the M3 and M50 uses the same sample set. The M3 is much more complex than the M50 however...

If he didn't like the M50, it's anybody's guess if he'll like the additional features of the M3. I own both and like them both though...

I think he went backwards as Fantom X6 is below Gs in sound quality which sound almost/about as good as M3 or M50. Different type of sound...and I'd much rather have the G serries over the X although its got some great sounds as well not to say bad things about it, but time is time and G's are really sweet....but like 88 key action on new Korgs better....joystick too.

I agree with McHale, they both have their good features, and the sounds are subjective.
I like the Roland pianos, but little else, and I've owned 2 Roland synths in the last few years.

I can't say I'm delighted with my M3 so far, but I'm still on the fence there.
