To this biased Kronos owner, I still think the Kronos has some things that sound better than the MODX line - electric pianos, organ emulation, some synth stuff (but not all), definitely pads IMO. And maybe that's where there is a little difference - they sound pretty different than each other, to my ears. What you're rewarded with for all that dedicated alone time is really dead on sound quality. Both will require a bit of programming and patience - very unlike a Nord Stage in that sense. There's a fair bit of overlap between the units you're talking about - and the bottom line is that either is more than capable for classic rock and 80s covers. It's just a question of tradeoffs I think. No - not crazy - it's just not an open and shut kind of decision.Д«oth are good sounding, capable keyboards. So, cutting to the chase, would the MODX8 be a good choice for a guy who plays classic rock and 80s covers and occasionally gigs once in a while? Would I be crazy for trading my Kronos to get one? I started to read reviews about the MODX8 and watch videos, but there are so many different functions that may be of interest for many different people thatвЂ™s itвЂ™s hard to sort through. If I was to buy it, I could also get rid of my MX88 for some cash and to make room in my ever crowded music nook. The MODX8 is about 10 pounds lighter, and thatвЂ™s with a weighted keybed. The new Kronos costs about double what the MODX8 costs. While the Kronos still has some value, IвЂ™m thinking of trading it for something else. I still need a weighted action keyboard, so in addition to it I have a Yamaha MX88. I figured the LS keybed would save a lot of weight also, but the thing is still a beast, cumbersome to move around my house, and ridiculously heavy in a hard case. With incredible power comes incredible complexity and much menu divage, and, using a Nord Stage for 99% of my keyboard playing, I just canвЂ™t deal with the menu diving. It seemed like a do-it-all keyboard and I had previously had an m50 so I was somewhat familiar with the architecture and picked it up.ДЄlas, it has sat unused in its case for 95% of the time IвЂ™ve had it.

A few years back I got an incredible deal on a Kronos LS88 that I just couldnвЂ™t possibly refuse.
