Well, I think that anyone who is deciding to buy an XP, XV, Trinity or Triton should wait just a little while longer.

The prices on all units have dropped dramatically. I've seen the XP60 go for as little as $1199. I've seen the Trinity for as low as $999.

The Trinity has a sampling option. It has one that will allow for 8MB of Flash ROM to store your samples. I'm not a Korg lover, but with 8MB, you could keep you synth current forever.

There are rumors that Roland will release a 8MB Flash Rom card diguised as an Expansion board, and if this is true, then the XP will also have the ability to store samples.

The XV is great, but not appealing to me becuase it has a load of sampling options, but can't sample. You might as well get an XP with a Session and Bass & Drum expansion board. Expansion cards for the XPs are going for as cheap as $145 each!

Good Luck - The Infamous EPU.
