Adi, I'll BTTT for ya and suggest:
1. don't get the LE, get the full blown Triton
2. if you get an 88 key version, make sure you get some better piano sounds.
I rarely use my Triton for it's internal sounds now! It's a sequencer/sampler/controller AFAIC.
Cheers
Lee.

If you can't sell it and decide to part-ex it against a new one, let me know what you're offered and I might be able to better it.
I would love a new keyboard as my Yamaha DX-11 is getting a bit long in the tooth now
Can't spend £975 on myself this time of year though
Not seen/heard this one you have, but looks a top bit of gear

Hi Lee,
I'd forgotten you have a triton. You may be able to steer me to something better as you are so used to it. Basically I'm looking to play more with the synth side of things, and I figured it was time to see what the latest and greatest from Korg are all about.
I have a full size piano P50, sounds great so really just after the voices and funky arpeggiator etc, with a view to digi001 the whole thing into the pc. Maybe a triton rack then?
Mega - cheers for the interest, I'll mail you before if I p-ex it. I do recommend the VA7 - great as an all in one solution. If you feel like making an offerm I'm not shy!
Cheers
Adi

Hi Adi
Giz a bell (077 2029 1070) and you can whizz over and have a play. My rig's not that different - I have a Kurz PC2X performing piano duties.
I think that you're on the right track with a Triton... as an all in one box it's great and I think that a Triton + something 88 notes with good pianos gives you a good rig for live and studio.
Cheers
