.depends on what you want to use it for. The triton is a great workstation. ..the sequencer is a great tool for using the onboard sounds, and the fx that come with it can make the onboard sounds brilliant. ...BUT, if youre planning on programming drums, the triton is not the way to go. Folks will argue this til theyre blue in the face, but the Triton's sequencer is not conducive to easy, fast, and most of all accurate drums. Ive found the meter to fluctuate (not noticable when using instruments, but definitely noticable when using drums), and the sequencer isnt set up to have the convenient workflow of a good software program (piano roll, etc.). 2 cents from a triton studio owner of 4 years.
