Hi there,

After waiting for a very long time (8 yrs) I'm buying another Korg - a Triton. You've mentioned that you're interested in techno/dance/trance music and are worried about polyphony. The Triton has a better effects processor, multisample library, and a very powerful appegiator - which I believe is used a lot in dance/techno/trance music. With the on board sampler, you should be able to add sampled breakbeats and other innuendos. The on board controllers are also powerful and if you want unique sounds the optional MOSS board should do the trick for you. The best course of action that I would recommend you take is to be-friend a Triton and Trinity dealer and do some programming, sequencing etc with the access to the manuals. That's how I was able to decide on the purchase of the Korg X3 and not the Roland JV1000, or the Yamaha W5/W7.

You ask whether the extra features are worth the $$$ ... I was convinced, especially when I compared the price of a Triton and Trinity.

Best of luck
