Krome 88 or MOX8??

[RDGBrian]

Looking to get a new board....and am stuck between the Korg Krome 88 and the Yamaha MOX8.

So, looking to find pros and cons of each?

I love the feel of the Keybed of the korg, but, it seems to have a lot of the same, if not very similar, sounds found on my Triton LE. I like to use alot of soundscapes, pads, motion type synth sounds with my band.

Don't want to go the rack synth/midi controller route as I'm trying to simplifying rig and set up time for gigging.

Thoughts?

Cheers.

I realize I'm not making your life any simpler here but have you considered the Kurzweil PC3LE8 or the PC3K8 as well?

Ha! No, I haven't looked at Kurzweils. I did used to own a kurzweil sp88. Need to check those out. Higher price point?

The PC3LE8 can be had for pretty much the same price as the Krome 88 and the MOX8. The PC3K8 sells about $500 higher but has a few more bells and whistles like sampling.
