Hello is this thread still open?? I'm stuck between a MM6 & a x 50.. I'll post the questions I saw on the first page here.
1- What is the MOST you could spend?
my range is $600ish~ no more.
2- Is there a more powerful choice just over your budget? If so, save a little more!
no.. no more then $600.
3- What type of music are you going to make?
hmmmmm ... right now aiming for electro rock/ classical/ rock. live.
4- Is a Keyboard a priority or would a rack do?
keyboard is a priority since i'll be playing the keys.
5- Are you prepared for repair bills? If not then DO NOT buy a Vintage unit.
umm.. i'm looking for newer models..
6- Is the synth you are looking at capable of been expanded?
? i plan to keep this keyboard for at least 2~3 years then i'll get a more higher model.
7- Are there more features than you need, if so this is GOOD!!!
um...
8- Read as many REVIEWS as possible, these are not always as subjective as personal views.
9- TRY one out, not always possible, but you can HIRE stuff you know!
i've tried out both the korg x50 and mm6... i like weighted keys since i'm a pianist/violinist and have been playing classical all my life... i am not sure if the x50 is weighted because the model that they showed me, wasn't really working volume wise. =_=;;
10- Dont think that a new synth will cure your musical faliures.
ummm.....
12- Have you already got this type of synth in your set up? Do you need another?
this will be my first synth... well i have a yamaha shs-10 but that was for when i was younger.
oh, i also need a 61 keys, and pref not a heavy heavy synth... so i can carry it around. i'm torn between mm6 & x50... i heard mm6 is more geared towards classical-ish and korg more of a electronic-ish. but what i'm going for is a electro rock-ish classical-ish...... =_=;; so..... hmm... help?
