Newbie question on the Korg Kross 2 88.

[Ebbetsman]

Hello,
I've been looking at the Kross 2 88 as far as a song building tool with its 16 track recording sequencer. Korg sent me a video link tutorial but to be honest there's so much button pushing on it and it never really showed how to build a song from start to finish. For instance putting down a drum, bass, guitar, piano, flute, etc.
I looked at the Roland Fantom 08 and it looks like from its tutorials way easier to build a song but the price is above my pay grade.
Any thoughts on the Korg would be appreciated.

My personal tastes lead me away from Korg except as a last resort.

Korg's policies of thousand page manuals written in Aramaic, along with their stupid policy of upselling with every purchase along with the horrific deep menu diving and cheeziness of their switches and power buttons have sent me scurrying off to the arms of the competition.

Roland is a far superior choice for user friendly workstations and You should be looking at an older Juno DS88 or the newest Juno D8.

The built in sequencer is only a looper but really anyone who sequences without a computer these days has rocks in their heads.
