I think the Triton LE w/sampling option is one of the best values out there. I've always liked the Triton's sound, but felt that a) some of the sounds were over effected and b) I wasn't going to warrant spending over 2 grand for one. So when the Triton LE came out, and I heard it, I actually liked it better than the Triton (only thing I miss is the Touchscreen, but this thing is hella easy to get around).
It's very useful for most types of music. I make R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, Dance, New Age/Soundtrack-type music, on and on...This thing slides into different genres quite easy. I haven't gotten deep into programming sounds yet, but so far it's pretty easy. Sampling is great and easy. It didn't take me long to figure out its functions without opening the manual.
I'm also in love with the SmartMedia format. I used to hate the idea, but, other than the price, it's a nice format. Quick with saving and loading. Oh, and the feel of the keyboard doesn't bother me at all. I rather like it.
Overall, you can get full tracks done with JUST this piece. But I incorporate it with some other pieces, and it helps picking and tailoring the right sounds MUCH easier. Bottom line is, if you can't make music with this thing...you can't make music.
