Let me tell you a little story. This might sound familiar.
I bought an X2 about a year and a half ago. I have programmed
many cool sequences and made many cool sounds with it. I am finding the basic sample waveforms to be quite
annoying. I've started writing bigger, more complex songs and now
I'm running out of polyphony. My X2 is now only worth half what I
paid for it, and now you can get the 64 voice version (N264) that
has RPS and an arpeggiator for about $400 LESS than what I paid
for my X2 when I bought it new. I feel like I got shafted by Korg.
At least synth technology doesn't evolve as fast as computers do...
A word of advice: Don't buy this synth. Get a N364 for the same price. Or a N1/N5. I will forever remember those 6 months of paying this thing off.
Now I feel like trading it in for something better. Don't get me wrong though!
It is a good workstation overall. The sequencer is pretty easy to operate.
The sounds can be manipulated into reasonably cool textures. I find
the drum sounds to be rather wimpy (except power toms). It's a good place
to start for a first workstation. Now it's not worth much more than $800 or $900.
