Members OPEN OCEAN Posted December 6, 2010 Members Share Posted December 6, 2010 well the reason for not being sold i guess is that new products come in with the same features and around the same price tag..to be honest i dont like modern sound on synths so i would suggest to have a listen to it and go for a better deal if you can get it cheap it would be just fine although the main point is to help you make some music...

Members Synthaholic Posted December 7, 2010 Members Share Posted December 7, 2010 One wonders why the music store hasn't put it up on eBay themselves. This site may help you make an informed decision: http://www.ugoaudio.com/korgn/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ricoche Posted September 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 Here's is an update on my first post regarding the Korg N364. The second year has almost past and that Korg N364 is still sitting there on the shelf with the same price tag of $625. Today I finally played it and gave the sales clerk my first offer of $525 and he declined. So I thought, see ya next year! ... laugh. He did look up the N364 on the computer but I haven't figured out yet where he is looking. Yahoo Auction Japan has the N364 for much less and while Ebay is more it seems, I know this shop doesn't look there. I actually thought the N364 sounded pretty good. The arpeggiator was a bit difficult to tame and I didn't really like the feeling of the keys all that much. The screen was not backlit and there were quite a few scratches on it. The sounds were good, but it's the sequencer I particularly like. I'm very used to it coming from the X3 and that's my primary reason other than the sounds that interest me. The RPPR is cool as well. The joystick I should add was also very springy and a bit noisy. It's like it needed oil or something. I don't think I would have payed $525 for it though, but I just wanted to see if he would come off the price since it's been in the shop going on two years now. He definitely feels he can wait it out I guess so as long as he is manager of the store that's what he'll likely do. He does give me pretty good deals on stuff so we're good friends, but for some reason he won't let that Korg N364 go. Perhaps it's his old keyboard ... laugh. The Korg N364 is still commanding pretty high prices and now I even see the Korg X3 seems to be going up as well. I'm still scratching my head on that Korg N364.

Members bad andy Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 You know, the Korg Trinity/Triton is also available for around the same price. Much better built units and IMHO, sounds better too. err, edit: This is from EBay US. not sure about the market in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purity_Control Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 A lot of goth/symphonic metal bands liked the N364 because it has a sound that cuts through quite a thick mix nicely. Given a choice i'd certainly take one over a Trinity, the onboard sounds on that are cheesy, MOSS is nice if you can get one with it but still monophonic. Triton i won;t comment on as I haven't owned one of listened to one unduly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 MOSS is nice if you can get one with it but still monophonic. Nope, it's 6-note polyphonic. But it's monotimbral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purity_Control Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 I was only talking about the Trinity. afaik the 6 voice version only went into the Z1 and as an option for the Triton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 Nope, there were MOSS-TRI and SOLO-TRI expansion boards for Trinity. First one is 6-voice MOSS board, second one is 1-voice Prophecy board. I still have one certain issue of Korg Proview magazine that I nicked from the local music shop at that time - it highlighted on OS v3.0 of Trinity, and all the available expansions. Korg Z1 was released after Trinity, but they adapted MOSS for Trinity expansion board format, which required an OS update, whereas Prophecy was released the same year as Trinity and was readily available as an expansion board, so it wasn't compatible with OS v3.0. This means that you can have either SOLO-TRI, or MOSS-TRI installed in the Trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madprof Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 You can buy my Yamaha S01 from me for just $500. It's even got a potentiometer in the back you can adjust with a screwdriver to beef up the resonance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ricoche Posted September 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 Well I just took a look at the completed listings on Ebay and the average price sold for the last six N364 is $718.00 if correct. The price it seems is still pretty far up there and I'm not seeing any sold for under $500. So the $625 asking price seems reasonable I suppose for Ebay, but in Japan the N364 is still selling much cheaper on Yahoo Japan. So I may go back to the store and bug the guy a bit more. He was very busy yesterday so that might have something to do with it. We'll see. From my experience thus far in Nagano Japan, people either want to buy the really new stuff like the Kronos or they want the much older vintage analog stuff and nothing in between. I've been buying from this guy's shop for about three years and probably know his keyboard sales better than him because I am the one buying most of his gear...laugh. One feature about the N364 that I really like is that when you power off the keyboard, the sequencer still retains all of the songs and patterns just like the X3 and my Rm1x. I don't find too many keyboards that have that feature although I know many likely do. Most of my Roland and Yamaha keyboards I own don't though. I like and use hardware sequencers a lot although I do use software occasionally. @Radman - Great post! I tend to agree. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted September 23, 2011 Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 Well i just learned something new! You can get an N364 over here for under $500 if you're lucky, BTW. My friend scored one for $320, then sold it later on for $400! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
