Yamaha Modx / Roland Fa / Korg Krome Sound Comparison 

I own all of them!😉

@@lucalongoni4766 hahaha great !!!!

Luca Longoni Awsome I have the modx6 fa6 I might get the me the krome next but I'm running out of space lol I have a lot of older synths from ensoniq esq1 to roland d50 DX7iifd gray matter korg x3 dw8000 trinity v3 korg tr61 karma Berhinger deep mind12 Dave Smith mofo caint get my self to sale any of thim I did also have a roland fantom x6 but sold that one to a buddy that wants to get in to synths.

Me three ! And I have the MOFX6

Dennis G still a nice synth

Thank you! Many of this sounds are modified by me to fit better in live contests.

I think modx8 is quite good (similar to p115) but modx6/7 have a bad keybed.

I own a modx8, and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised and thoroughly impressed with the keybed of the modx8, especially for the price. it truly feels high quality and is a lot faster than what one may expect for a fully weighted keybed. if you want to upgrade, I highly recommend the MODX8.

Me 2

I don't know! I Think korg could present a new model!

does Juno have good quality sounds? what is your rate about it? i wanna buy Juno

which MODX did you get? 6, 7 or 8?

I had the FA06, and I tried it with my band and it just didn't make the cut. I sold it.

thanks man, thats all I need to hear !

@@markjaylandes do you recomend FA06 to make The Killers and Coldplay covers and play them in a band?

The Roland FA also allows building sounds from scratch. But I think Yamaha has a better interface and has an FM engine.

Ti ringrazio. Sì è possibile, krome è molto versatile da quel punto di vista!

@@lucalongoni4766 grazie, ora posso comprarla. Sei un grande. Ciao

I have the Krome 73 one. I'm satisfied with that workstation as well !!!

@@mrv1111 Sold my 73, so regret Do have a Kronos 61 though, great sounds difficult to operate

No, Roland DS organs are abysmal. It’s a great keyboard for electric pianos though. But not for vintage synths nor organs.

It's not a commercial comparison, I've just played my own keyboards just givin' my 2 cents! 😉

Yes I understand brother, thats the reason for your comparo. Just saying the Krome EX was the underdog here. Thanks

Hey man, would you mind sharing why you prefer krome over modx?

Likely not! And I always wonder about the audio connections too. May be my playing or my personal tweaking but my FA sounded better than his lol. And I've owned an Electro 6D (sold it) and now Yamaha YC73. Thinking about getting another FA.

Yes, the DS88 and FA-08 both use Roland's Ivory Feel-G action and I think it's one of the better ones in this price range.

Just the 2 of us

They all different sounds I’m a korg guy I give it for the Rhodes sounds it stands out

Agreed. The Krome sounds just cheap. The FA, however, is still a serious competitor. It sounds good, but the MODX sounds more ‘elegant’ or HiFi-like, probably due to its high frequencies. If it only had aftertouch!

That's my exact order. The MODX is by far the most expressive (people laughed at the Super knob when Montage was released in they aren't laughing now). And Roland FA is still one of my favorite keyboards. Never liked Krome, but Kronos is excellent.

Yeah but it's unfair if it comes to competition, He should have try the kronos intead, Now, it's all about the personal preference. did you hear the brasses oh the korg versus the Yamaha?

dmncnito The Kronos is in quite another price range. I don‘t think it would be fair to include it.

Exactly my order too. Yamaha MODX has best dynamics, sound resolution

Keybed feels heaven

@@sachindevgir at the end i decided to go for the yamaha modx8. Im enjoying it a lot so far. Hope im not missing much by not chosing the krome88

@@Julionp u tell which one is better krome or modx, because I hv only played krome though I cannot make difference that which one is better

Have u heard or played the kronos?

Yes, since 2011@@gcmproductions3499

@@redmusichouse Totally agree Korg just don't do good pianos I worked in a dealership where we had a lot of different makes so got to try them all and as awesome a synth the Kronos is (it can't be that bad I have one) I still go to my Nord for piano

Go play the Kronos.

Been playing it since 2011@@jwalkproduction2375

I'm not paid by companies, these are simply the keyboards I own.

Luca Longoni I know and understand, my comments are most directed to people comparing them as quality of sound by what we can percibe depending on devices. It’s all about personal taste. To me, Yamaha has the warm feeling, for those who love warm, Korg is more bold, and natural kind of analog, and Roland has a presence! Bright clear and well defined high sounds, ideal for Pop, And Rock, now, the real truth is... I love the three of them!

I agree!

Typically, for live work, I'd boost the top end to cut through the mix.

That reasoning is exactly why I sold my Electro 6D. To me, all the elements that make Nord pianos so special wash out in the settings I play in. Usually a drummer, bass, another keyboard player, guitar, etc. I Have a YC73 now. Thinking about returning it for a FA07. I used to have the 06 and I miss it dearly. The APs, EPs, strings, synth (of course) and even the organs were fine for me. Granted all were tweaked to my liking and stored on the board. And the overall features are bananas. Lot of menu diving but that it's feature packed. I missed the layering/split capabilites for sure. In the end....Yamaha outdid themselves with the original motif line. The MODX and Montage don't compare. Hence why most of the guys I see with either of those boards are still dragging around laptops and running soft synths

That’s exactly why it’s better for a pianist playing solo or just practicing at home. It’s absolutely the closest to an acoustic piano by default. The others (as are many except for Kurzweil & Kawai) are all focused on the too-treble end to cut through a band. That’s why they sound much poorer in solo presentation.

They just got a new upgrade to the software 2.0

2 years late but FA 08 has best key action. Even Yamaha fans do admit MODX is not as good

Modx

I just played some simply chords... I don't know if there is a similar song! 😅

​@@lucalongoni4766 Oh, I see. I didn't know it was your ad-lib playing. I was listening to it, thinking it was a nice song. haha
