Hi guys,
Sorry to butt in, but I really felt compelled to ask why things become so personal between you guys?
We've always known that the sound of each keyboard is always subjective and that means it's of one's personal choice, it doesn't necessarily mean that one is better than the other, not anymore anyway.
None of the keyboards that have been mentioned here sound bad in any way shape or form, they just offer a different sound, more like an alternative and I think that having choices is a very healthy thing.
Having owned many keyboards over the years and gained a lot of experience with each one of them, I've always been proud and delighted to have owned every single one of them, it was a pleasure to explore each one and finding myself on an amazing musical journey which has taken me to the T3.
After now owning the T3 for nearly a month, I am finding it hard to understand how on earth they can improve the sounds and styles, surely it can only be negligent or cosmetic, or so it seems like it. As much as I've been impressed with the T3, it isn't THAT vastly superior to my PA1X and that's because the Korg was already great, and that's a 6 year old board. When I first put on the T3, I didn't get the WOW factor I got when I first opened say my GEM WX2 or PSR8000 as they were significantly better than their predecessors, that trend I think has ended because there is really only so much you can do to improve a sax or piano sound before it reaches a limit where it just can't get any better - just different and I think that's where we are now.
I hope I've made some sense but I think I know what I've been trying to say, I am just loving my hobby and the pleasure it's given me over the years no matter on what keyboard it's been on, the feeling has always been the same
Take Care
Danny.
