It depends on what you're really trying to accomplish. I'm sure in live perfomance, a whole slew of keyboard synths will do.
It's in the recording studio environment that Korg Triton really shines. The effects are studio quality (especially the compression and the exciter effects.) The sounds are incredibly rich, and not only that, dynamically you can go from very soft to very loud playing without unwanted artifacts (like only two dynamic ranges instead of five to seven, like the Korg Triton offers.) That really helps those used to playing acoustic pianos who want an extremely responsive sound to their playing.
Although the board touts 16-bit resolution, the onboard converter is first rate. It's non-jitter resolution sounds better than many 24-bit converters currently flooding the market.
Although the Emu Proteus 2000 has more as so far as sheer engine power, the Korg has it hands down as so far as sound quality. So its the age old question: is sound quality more important, or the quantity of multitimbrality and polyphony? To the professional recording engineer, sound quality is number one - always has been, and (hopefully) always will be.
Sincerely, Frederick Russ Chief Engineer/Producer Seventh Ray Productions
