The X3 is the perfect option if you¥re looking for a keyboard, and you don¥t have a sequencer. However that would be the only reason for buying it, as the sounds alone aren¥t enough in themselves to justify a buy.
The keyboard is extremely well built, and the disk drive is a welcome feature. Very few bugs, a good sequencer (WHICH CAN HANDLE INTERNAL SOUNDS AS WELL AS EXTERNAL KEYBOARDS!!!), powerful drums, and quite a good multi-effect processor. Easy to use, but it¥s difficult to program really good sounds.
The Korg X3 is the one to get IF:
-YOU DON¥T HAVE A SEQUENCER -YOU¥RE LOOKING FOR A GOOD MASTER KEYBOARD AS WELL -YOU¥RE INTO POP MUSIC
Overall rating as a workstation: 8/10
