why is nobody addressing that and spending all this space
arguing apples and oranges: T2 v.3K?
i'm whacked out because I'm trying to improve on my old
Korg is-35 and Technics kn2600 and don't seem to be
able to. The paix's and g-70's are too heavy and I hate touchscreens, The T2 and sd5 and sd1+ are lighter but still more weight than I like,plus I stupidly bought a
Genesys ProS because it is the most versatile and logical and elegant looking but "silent killer" 41.8lbs! so I have to
sell or swap. Somebody wants to swap me for a Roland
Discover5 kbd hooked up to a Midjay. Is that the best
way to go IYHO or should I just sell and get psr1500? or
a better controller/module option for jazz gigs than the oneI was offered, but I don't know what that might be..do you?



Mo,
At the time I bought my 3000, I tried the 1500 and it would have been adequate for me and my music making plans at that time.
But I had run this comparison (link below) to compare featues of the 1500 and 3000, and decided to spend the extra bucks and get the 3000.

If I did not have the extra bucks at the time, I would have went with the 1500.

Compare 1500/3000

Some key features that can justify the price difference (to me) is
128/96 polyhony
64mb Rom to 16mb
Color monitor to monochrome (although, i now wonder if the monochrome would have worked better outdoors?)
Playback + Recording 16 channels on the 3000, not on the 1500.
