It's curious that you have them dialed in completely differently, as well as with more fx on the Forte. It's hard to make a comparison that way, despite the Forte being slightly audibly better, which is true.
The Forte just slightly has a bit more resonance and a bit more bite to it.. However I prefer the organs on the SP6.. To each his own.. They both sounds basically the same,.. 2 good Kurzweil boards.
I use SP6 for live gigs no one ever came to me saying that there wasn’t string resonance im my playing! Who cares about it? Plus I saved 2000 euros and 10 kg weight! in addition to this the Kurzweil is notoriously not good for synth sounds so I’m used to use Korg for that purpose
How many quick access/favourites buttons does this have? Apparently the artis has only 6 which is kinda pathetic considering my 20 year old korg triton has 20 sounds on the touch screen and you get another 20 x10 by changing pages (not that i really need more than 40 sounds but its nice tonjust have a bagpipe there for when i need one without replacing an existing sound temporarily etc). Im looking to upgrade the triton as some of the sounds are a bit weak now but i dont wanna lose this functionality as its really great in live performance and shows to quickly change from brass strings synth organs woodwind etc. Also can the faves/quick access section be layered? So lets say it has 10 sounds you can save...could i mix two of them easily? Maybe i should just get the korg kronos or some other upgrade from the triton that keeps this functionality
Sort of a useless waste of time without describing how they were recorded. Forte smokes it as recoded, however it was done. Forte was brighter though my computer speakers.
Honestly the Sp6 sounds clearer and better quality when not ‘mixed’ with other sounds. Sounds more expensive as well. For layering, I guess forte sounds better- depends on what you’re looking for? Forte has a really nice mellow sound (fuller timbre) whereas the sp6 has clearer sound. (piano) both are extremely good though :0 sp6 somehow has a slightly nasal? tone especially when using other effects (not piano) - i think one has to think about what they are going to use the keyboard for before deciding (so tough!!) how do the prices range?
Robert Michalscheck Nasal isn’t actually a smell so it’s not really that interesting. Being a violinist we do express sounds as being nasal/mellow/sweet/boxy etc. You can’t really smell mellow either ;)
