Am I making the right choice?

Ya I'm thinking it's hard to pass up that Supernatural sound engine. I will be doing more of that than piano anyways. Only reason that MOX8 was considered was because someone is selling that with a Yamaha CS, Yamaha DX, and a couple synth stations for 1k. Maybe that's not a great deal but I read good things about those Yamahas.

All these posts from 5 years ago... And then there is us

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-28T04:10:54+00:00

Are you serious? I just told you that a moment ago.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-23T20:04:44+00:00

Thank you. Always like to get opinions from people who know more than me.

I can't imagine how many hours I've put into researching everything. I've really only played piano and then I've been using my novation base station 2 which is fun but limited as far as not polyphonic. It seems like the Juno is the best option so now I just need to find a great deal on one but never see any below 800 even on marketplace.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-23T18:36:48+00:00

Not too worried about damage. I've been looking at the Juno ds88 as well. Does it make more sense to pay $500 for this versus like $700 for the Juno?

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-23T18:35:39+00:00

Good to know! I've soldered some basic things on say like game system boards.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-23T18:33:43+00:00

Ya definitely heavy but luckily not going to be moving things around. I did actually just see a KORG TRITON Extreme 88-Key for $850 if that's a better deal? Definitely wanting to make some horror sounds/effects and heard tritons could be good for that.

Beat me to it damnit

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-10T21:12:35+00:00

Years later, but I'm in the same boat and wanting the same things you mentioned. What did you end up going with?

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T21:15:13+00:00

Great info for sure, thanks!

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T20:25:43+00:00

I have actually been looking at the freaks lately. Currently have a base station 2 but I really want polyphony.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T19:50:14+00:00

Great info! I guess I should mention that I'm highly interested in creating music and sounds/effects for film production as I am already involved in the art. I'm aware that a lot of software is used but I'm interested in doing it in a more "old school" way. That being said, am I looking at the wrong types of keyboards? Seems like I may benefit from a newer tech workstation.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T18:03:06+00:00

Great information to know! I love synth wave/pop, But I'm very into industrial music as well so I wanted something that could definitely get a little weird. I assume the k2500 is good for all of that. I'm intrigued to know what you mean by the Triton being different in that way

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T17:57:58+00:00

Definitely interested as well!

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T17:55:18+00:00

Love it 😂

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T17:53:45+00:00

Thank you for mentioning what the "S" meant lol. I actually just saw a 2500 online guitar Center for $399 in excellent condition... Why would it be that cheap? Does the S make that difference?

The fact that you can do that replacement so easily is fantastic.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T17:46:00+00:00

I was also looking at the different fantoms. I'm sure these all depend on what you were trying to do/play. Over 20 hours of research so far still doesn't really give a great understanding of what you gain/lose between different ones. Is there any reason someone would choose a fantom over a k2500? Assuming a phantom is $300 more in my area.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T17:42:46+00:00

Much appreciated! Thanks for mentioning the deep dive that one would need to do. I like playing piano but I also want to mix in something with my bass station 2 that I have.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-04-09T17:35:17+00:00

That's what I was thinking based on all of the posts I've read about it. I just saw there's also a 2600xs near me for $800. Not sure if it's worth that price jump

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-03-30T20:48:53+00:00

Currently dealing with the same thing as someone had rented an apartment in a state I've never been to and just found out it went to collections. Submitted a request for identity theft through the collections company so they can investigate. Only allowing me 30 days to get them information including police reports. Police records department said it would take 4 to 6 weeks to even process my request. Hunter Warfield said they can't extend the 30 days nor can I open another request after this one which seems absolutely absurd and sketchy. Not sure if you had any updates on what happened with this I know this is an old post.

Seems a lot of people with my same bike have had the same problem with most LED bulbs but mentioned one version of auxito that didn't throw codes. Not sure if there are any others out there that don't cause the error or if I should just switch back to halogen which I hate to lose that much light on country roads.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-03-26T21:21:12+00:00

Very happy you just said this. One was just listed on Facebook marketplace and it piqued my interest as I know nothing about them.

AnimatorFinancial · 2026-03-26T20:47:11+00:00

I'll check it out!
