I has the blue one and the red one...first I bought the blue one and then I exchanged it with the red one, then I sold the red one.
The blue one is great, easy to program and the synths sound fat...but the probleme, for me, are the pcm sounds...yess all classical drumz and weird sounds are there, but they are very limited and I had to work a lot ont them, with the few effects that are available...the red one is very cool, but the smart media card for sample tranfer is a pain in the neck...
So actually the two are very good, but they work together, as all electribes...thanks for your marketing class korg... :s
For the price of the two I'd go for the mc 909

it can be easily remove with hiss remover, or some hp filter, but that's not the way i want it. finally i sold it.

but, like i wrote, if you have some spare money and it's not expensive go for it. nice piece of gear after all

Hiss Remover? Where can I get one? I've got one of the latest korg zero8 with bit of hiss on the main out.

Thanks

Your changed your tune. Should have got the blue korg.

as far as sync goes i don't see why you would want too. I only use the sequencer for making some ideas for drum patterns then i copy the midi to logic and sequence there. Your got so much more flexibility with your programing that way. programming synth parts is a pain in the ass using the built in sequencer.
