X-50 sounds vs MicroX sounds

Post by CuBuLo »

Are there any differences between the sound? Or does both have all the exact same sounds? Cause I cant seem to find a good enough deal for the x50 and thought maybe just to get the MicroX with a bigger midi keyboard.

The Micro-x has more (and arguably imho better if you're into electronica) sounds than the X-50.

X50 and microX have different soundsets...Both have 64MB of samples. Both have the original Triton ROM 32MB. But the rest 32MB are different. X50 has the same that TR has which is more basic kind of stuff (pianos, strings, e. piano, etc). MicroX has more like producer stuff so it has ethnic sounds and some other stuff. X50 is designed to be portable keyboard for playing on stage or with band. MicroX is more to use with a computer in a home studio or portable laptop-studio.

I was under the impression that the MicroX mimiced the X50 as far as voices/sounds, guess I was mistaken. Learn something new every day.....
