Feature:
This one came with the Moss expansion......very easy to install and what a deal! I am just starting to use the sequencer, working on my second song, so I by no means am the expert. I used a preset template on the first one, and by the time I got done working with it I was pretty annoyed with it, so I think next time I will make my own. Another thing I hate is the fact that if you turn it off or the power goes out before you back up your work to a memory card, you lose it all! Why the heck cant the internal memory hang on to your work, like with the older Ensoniqs??? GOSH!!!(said like Napoleon Dynamite!)

Quality:
This does seem pretty well made, although I do worry about breaking that tube! I like the sleek design, not too heavy or big and bulky.I think I will have this board for a long , long time.

Value:
This was a terrific deal at $1899 plus headphones and free Moss expansion. I was about to buy a Roland Fantom (it was a toss-up between the 2) but the huge price difference swung me over to Korg!

Desirability:
The question of "sex-appeal" is almost redundant. Who cares? It is a nice looking board and to the average person, the appeal comes from how you use it, I think. I notice every single keyboard that I ever see come across my TV screen and otherwise.....and almost every single band has at least one Korg keyboard. That right there tells you alot!

Sound:
Most of the sounds are great! I like the sensitivity in the sounds, and of the keys themselves. I noticed some of the saxes have a kind of cheesy vibrato, but others are quite good. The pianos are much better than the ones on some of the older models, but I think there is still a bit of room for improvement.The length of sustain on most of the pianos is unrealistic. Look to a real piano for pointers, Korg. I do love the fact that there are just loads and loads of sounds to pick from and I think Korg does a great job on all the variety of sounds.

Ease of Use:
This is pretty easy to use. For live performance, piece of cake. The only gripe I have is the sound dropping out for a second if you have to switch sounds real fast. My old Ensoniq would sustain a sound for as long as you held down the sustain pedal, even tho you had switched sounds on the screen, it was seamless. I wish Korg would integrate that kind of seamless transitioning.

Support:
Haven't needed support at this point.

Overall:
I have a plan to supplement this keyboard with probably a weighted action Motif, because I like to have at least 2 keyboards for variety, and my old Ensoniq is getting pretty tired! (But she held up like a champ!) I have no regrets about buying this....overall I am pleased with it.

Feature:
Features I like, except the arps, you can't make your own that easy! its hard to compse arps! and I iwsh it was easy like pro arrangers but its not like that. Sampling is easy and easy to load using cheap compactflash card,

Quality:
Its very delicate surface but it seems strong enough for for light scratches, screen seems good and strong, keys have great feeling when playing. Quality of korg is very good!

Value:
i bought it for $3000 CDN now it's cheaper, i like the current price, it's worth purchasing!

Desirability:
I'm stuk with korg, so I like it, I recommend it.

Sound:
Sound are Good especially Piano, strings, brass, bass, pads oh well i think the sounds are awesome! comparing to classic TR.

Ease of Use:
I'm a Korg craze so its a breeze to go through functions and make adjustments.

Support:
never had serious problems with korg so I never contacted the support

Overall:
i change my mind every 5 years, but this one I think it will stay much longer than that!

Feature:
It's got the easy to navigate touch screen and you can input audio through an XLR jack.

Quality:
Truth be known, I don't like the blue finish, and it seems to nick fairly easily.

Value:
Well, for what I paid yeah - it was work the price.

Desirability:
I really enjoy the keys and like the tube, but the overall cosmetics are not all that, in fact, I don't really care for the look of it, at all.

Sound:
The pianos, especially the highs are so nice and crunchy for bluesy sounds.

Support:
1 year warranty, okay. Haven't delt with Korg, yet, so I suppose that's a good thing

Overall:
It's the sound, the key action, do like the glowing blue tube (how do they do that?).

Quality:
I have had two triton extreme 76-key models within the first 90 days. The Touchscreen had intermitent problems with the first one (serial # 976). Korg told me that they were aware of the problem, and suggested I take it to a repair center. The repair centers all wanted the keyboard sitting in their shop for two weeks before it got on the bench. I of course could PAY to get them to look at it immediately, but I didn't feel like as the consumer I should have to shell out to get a production bug fixed. I wound up taking it back to the dealer who replaced it with serial # 1649. Korg assured me that I would NOT have the problem with this serial #. Well they were wrong. After 1 month of having the new keyboard, it has now started booting up with a dead touchscreen. I am so fed up with Korg's quality. This is not right.

Desirability:
I thought I wanted it.

Support:
Very slow repairs. Very slow phone support.
