Members Paolo Di Nicolantonio Posted August 4, 2011 Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 Used or new? What is your maximum budget? New: The Yamaha MOX6 just came out, sounds amazing. $1,200. This would be my pick right now. E-mu LONGBoard, solid bread and butter sounds: $400 Yamaha MM6, good sounds, $600 Korg X50, solid acoustic sounds, wonderful pads/synth: $700 Roland Juno-Di, very versatile, quality Roland sounds, $700 Roland Juno-Gi, better version of the Di, $1000 If you want better quality than the MOX6 and want new, you then have to jump to $2000 or more. On the USED market, you have a much wider choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zzzxtreme Posted August 4, 2011 Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 +1 for Yamaha MOX6very versatile, love the audio interface feature, and so damn light ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJ RAZZ Posted August 4, 2011 Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 All the recommendations above are good ones at any price. I own a Juno GI and it rocks for amount of sounds and quality. I have heard the MOX. And it sounds really nice as well. If you can deal with micro keys the KORG Microstation is great sounding, even better than the Triton plus $599US. Not bad.

Members yzf125 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks for the advice guys, I checked out all of them you have mentioned on You Tube and have them narrowed down these in no particular order. Yamaha MOXKorg M50Roland DIRoland GI Price IS a big issue for me, I have been looking at used on Ebay and at Guitar Center. What is the difference between the Roland GI and DI besides the 8 track recorder that could justify the extra cash ? if it has more quality sounds then i would consider that but they seem the same. Thanks a bunch ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meatball Fulton Posted August 4, 2011 Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 The Juno G and D series do have similar sounds, though no two synths will ever sound exactly the same. Shopping used I see Juno D (precursor to Di, similar sound) for $250-350 regularly on my local Craigslist...a good buy for your application. Also if you see a Roland RS-5 for sale used, this is the precursor of the Juno D, very similar and even cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zzzxtreme Posted August 4, 2011 Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 Di can only do simple 2 patch split/layerwhere as Gi can do 16 layer by split and/or velocity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yzf125 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks for the clarification on those,The GI would be more of my interest then, but I have been really drawn towards the Korg M50 after watching all the You tube videos.......

Members oceancruze1 Posted December 14, 2011 Members Share Posted December 14, 2011 How about the X50 in a used Korg for me that is to go along with my Roland RD700GX, can't beat the price of a used one like $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
