I currently own an XS-7 but from what I’ve heard in demos, I really like some of the sounds and features of the MOXF8. I will admit there is still plenty I could still learn about my XS-7. Question - Would it be foolish to purchase an MOXF8 while already owning an XS-7? Would there be many advantages in having both? They seem very similar in some ways....... |

They are similar in many ways, but more to the point, they are different in a very significant way: The action of the XS7 is totally different than the MOXF8. Many people own and operate both a synth-action keyboard (XS7), as well as a piano-action keyboard (MOXF8). I think that single difference is much more “weighty” than anything having to do with sounds, waveforms, etc. IMHO, I believe that is the most compelling reason to consider owning both. The difference in sounds is minimal, and there are a few feature upgrades. I believe most any Demo you have heard that makes the MOXF shine could be duplicated by the XS...in the right hands! |
