I am looking for a Synth as an addition to my T3. Anyone using either of these? Any comments on there sounds and capabilities?

My other alternative is the Motif Rack XS with a MIDI connection using the T3 as its keyboard.

Thanks,

Joe

Just personal preference, but if you are using a T3, I'd go with the Roland for different soundset. Good luck.

I'd agree. Buying the Roland will give you a completely different sound set and sound engine vs buying a Yamaha MO or rack.

Have you also considered the KORG M50 ? The COMBI mode on that would give you a big boost as a Right Hand sound machine to complement your T3 Arranger.

Regards
James

Cassp and James are right, buying a MO6 would be quite redundant for you as the T3 and MO6 share far too many similar sounds. Get something from a different manufacturer that will give you a new range of sounds and synthesis features. I'd recommend the newer Korg products as they use technology based on the Oasys and are great synthesizers.

I'd go for the Juno-G as well...a great complimentary sound to the Tyros3.

If you don't need a sequencer and you want great Roland sounds look at the Roland Juno-Di. It is the newest roland and it actually has better sounds then the Juno G. It also has a mic input with effects and also plays midi files and MP3's from a flash drive. It is also less expensive and lighter than the Juno G.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I was thinking the same thing about getting something from a different company. Although the MO6 really sounds nothing like the T3 except they share many PAD voices. I do like the Korg M-50-61 key a lot it just seems a little cheaply made or is that just my imagination. Unlike the 88 key version which appears to be more solidly built.

I will check out the Juno-Di.
