Calling keyboard heads

[Cupramax]

Am looking for a new workstation keyboard for home use, after over 10 years use, my trusty Yamaha PSR740 is getting a little tired to say the least and hence am looking for a new toy.

I think Ive narrowed it down to the Yamaha MOXF6, Roland FA-06 or possibly a Korg Krome, budget up to £1k. The Yamahas Cubase integration is a strong point but the sounds and sampler on the Roland are out of this world plus loads of free download addons on the Axial site.

Anyone got any experience with any of these?

If you've been used to arranger stuff, might also want to check out the korg pa range...

Thanks, had looked at them but i dont need anything with speakers in as have studio monitors and a mixer and the models i mentioned appeared to be on another planet, near on pro sounds wise, for similar money.

Fair enough - I'm running a Kronos, XP30, SY77 and am looking for a Jupiter 80.

The Motif is very good too.

However, I love my Kronos. Monster machine.

I'd give a kidney to have a Kronos, awesome piece of kit, unfortunately i cant justify spending so much on something thats just a toy at the end of the day. The Moxf i'm looking at has the same XF sound engine as the Motif but i'm guessing a cut down feature set.

Motif is nice, didn't get on with the Jupiter 80, great sound but the interface is a bit of a mess.

I've tried a few different 'workstations' over the years but always find them a bit limiting compared to using a dedicated DAW for all the composition work, I kept my Roland X8 which I use purely as a controller now as I like its weighted keys.

If you like the Kronos so much, but it's a little out of budget, why not go for the previous generation Korg M3.
