-Kurzweil 2600XS
-Yamaha Motif ES8
-Korg Triton Extreme 88
-Roland Fantom X8
Ok now, I know alot of people have made topics on these 4 synths and how they compare, and from what I've seen generally the Motif or Kurzweil are considered 'the best' while Triton is third and the Fantom is last, but unfortunately my question is just different enough to need a new topic, but not different enough to not be annoying. Sorry.
My question:
I'm looking for a synthesizer that can serve my purposes best. I'm going to be forming a cover band in the future and therefore, I can give you some samples of the kinds of sounds I'm going to need. The band has used the Triton Pro and Kurzweil 2600XS before, and never the Fantom or Motif, but there is virtually no information on the net about what modules they use, so that may mean next to nothing. What I'm really looking for is the best keyboard both for hardware and software out of the four, and then if that happens to be the best for my synth and patch needs, great, if not, maybe I should be looking at a rack of one of the other three.
Here are some sound samples of the kind of and synths I'm going to need, I'd like to know:
-Which keyboard has the best overall interface, sequencer and keys (these are all 88 fullweight versions remember) if I could only pick one?
-Does that give me most of the sounds I need? If not, which module of the other three would fix me up with the synths I need?
-Samples from songs by the band-
Samples coming soon, within the half-hour, I'll edit with them, I just think maybe there will be some answers that don't even need me to be specific on the type of music ie "Fantom=Bad" etc etc
