Looks like I picked …
Looks like I picked the wrong month to buy a (slightly used) CP-300 (for $1500 US – still a GREAT deal.)
I really love that thing, the speakers on the body of it make it ring while it sings. . . And the 5 band eq. Good sound too. The 71 lbs. thing is the only drawback, makes an S70EX tempting
The LED looks …
The LED looks really lame, looks like MM6.
hmmmm… i wonder.. …
hmmmm… i wonder…. i already own an S90es….. perhaps id be better off getting a motif XS rack to add on instead of going for S90xs with a few more bells……. the layering thing wont do much for me as i just use the four sliders as a mixer live to bring in 3 more patches at will… so if i sold my S90es to get the S90xs… id have to pay over 2300 to get LESS synth power…. and $1299 for MORe power…. i think at $3799 thats rather gougey….. any thoughts on this?
That guy was such a …
That guy was such a legend. :p
Well, I’m not …
also more sliders, pitch/modulation wheels and to top it off a vocoder…
Well, I’m not saying a PSR isn’t a great machine, but a S70XS has a lot more keys
nevertheless you can buy a PSR300 for about $100 nowadays which is about the same amount you’d have to get a carrying case for a S70XS, so it’ll cost ya no matter what…..
“All these …
“All these performance things can now be done in real-time” – You mean the same way I could do them on my PSR-300 back in 1994? And it even has the transpose keys, just like the PSR-300! What an innovative product! (but yes, it makes much more sense than Utility > Page 2 > Knob 4 on my S30)
