BR-8 vs. D8

[Volks]

Hey!,

I've been lookin' online and comparing the Korg D8 with the Boss BR-8 and here are some of the results:

PRICE:
Korg: $650
Boss: $695

SAMPLING RATE:
Korg: 44.1 kHz
Boss: 44.1 kHz

STORAGE MEDIA:
Korg: Internal 2.1 Gbyte hard disk
Boss: 100 MB Zip Disks

WEIGHT:
Korg: 5.7 lbs.
Boss: 6 lbs. 10 oz.

NUMBER OF "VIRTUAL" TRACKS:
Korg: 400 tracks (50 songs X 8 tracks)
Boss: 64 Virtual tracks

INTERNAL MEMORY:
Korg: 2.1 GB
Boss: Removable Memory Only



After that I think the Korg sounds much better!! It weighs less, it has more memory(aren't Gbytes much bigger than MB??). It even has more virtual tracks! What do you think?

Andrew!

Check the price of the D8 at http://www.8thstmusic.com
I think they are still $599.00

Yeah Mars music has the d8 for under 6 as well. Problem with D8-You can't save your songs on a disc of any sort to remix them later. That's the advantage of the br8

I have the Korg D8, and it is an excellent machine, but it doesn't have a 2.1 gb. hard drive. The D16 has the 2.1 gb. hard drive, the D8 has a 1.4 gb. hard drive. You can always buy an external SCSI hard drive though.

So what is bigger: 1.4 gb or 100 mb???
