Every loves their choices,great.

contd-
BTW -PA can also do guitar slides like 900.

Brass - both are great, yam has the edge

woodwinds - I like both

Overall sound -

Yam -some of the sounds are exceptional , but generally speaking -individual XG patchs doesn't match Triton's workstation quality sound

Korg - each individual sound with some exceptions(if you use sound/program mode)are very useful ,in a sequence
or solo,very responsive.Drums - fuller/more variety /more ethnic kits.


Yes Korg has more features/more powerful seq and editing,loads Triton programs(minus EFX).

I think it's unacceptable to put cheap quality mod/pitch wheels to a $1600 Kb.Yam can do better -add $50 and use Motif's rubber wheels and it will save the KB from cheap looking and feeling wheels (like E403).Durability of the wheels can be an issue later because personally I use them alot.(I prefer the joystik ,but that's another story).Even mini Mo has bigger and more durable wheels.
PSR s 900 is a KB with potential and will sell like cakes if they put more money on cetain areas.Yam knows that people will still buy them so they kept on doing the things that are not acceptable .


Here is what Korg and Roland have to do to beat Yam in arranger world.

They have the sounds,built quality,keys,features (like in 900$ PA 50-you can replace all the styles,more slots for styles etc).but they are missing major points as an ARRANGER like-


1.Straight forward navigation and single button pressing

2.(for westen and asian )(not mid east) players - good simple 8 beats/rock/disco,reggae beats and ballads(ofcourse simple jazz and country too) -I said SIMPLE ,not over done.Don't put too much RnB/Motown/ stuff,people gonna use SMFs for super famous songs.Don't put 5 jives styles or 5/4 jazz beats.For mid east players -it's another story.

3.Simple(and many) fills that doesn't need too much work while you are playing.

I think T2 is over priced too.If you compare to G70 and PA2x pro built quality,features.
But Yam will still get away (people will still buy them cause they don't have a choice) because they did the arranger section right(OS,styles,fills).


In workstaion world- sounds and function (and OS)wise Triton has beaten Fantoms and early Motifs,But this is the arranger world - STyles/fills and OS(easy navigation while playing) is the KEY! Wake up!
