Yamaha Modx / Roland Fa / Korg Krome Sound Comparison

Yamaha Modx / Roland Fa / Korg Krome Sound Comparison

My impressions:

- Ac. piano: 1 Roland 2 Yamaha 3 Korg (very bad)
- Rhodes: 1 Yamaha 2 Korg 3 Roland (very bad)
- Fm piano: 1 Yamaha. No way for others
- Clavi: 1 Yamaha 2 Korg 3 Roland (very bad)
- Hammond: 1 Yamaha (for simulated drowbars). Korg is quite usable either.
- Guitars: Roland wins, Yamaha however is quite good.
- Strings: Yamaha wins, Korg is quite good.
- Brass: Better on Yamaha, not so bad on Korg.
- Synth lead: Better on Yamaha, Korg is quite bad
- Synth: Good on all the 3 keyboards. I like the Roland pad most.
- Vocals: better on Yamaha

Keybed: 1 Roland 2 Yamaha 3 Korg (very poor synth action)
User interface: 1 Roland, Yamaha and Korg are quite similar.

What a truly amazing video. you deserve much credit fin sir as you obviously went to so much trouble. All 3 boards are excellent. I already have the krome but would be happy with any of them. They are all of such a high standard these days. Finally..congrats on being such an outstanding player..you would be such an assett to any band

[canyoubelievethis]

You are definitely SICK! You make it look as if there's no effort in playing the way you do. So hope you have more videos. Could listen to you play all day (and night) long. Thank you for taking the time to share. Much appreciated!

Only one conclusion, you want to have them all.

[patrickellis]

I have a tremendous amount of respect for all 3 boards. Nothing will top the Fa in my opinion. You cannot beat those expansion packs !!! And the sound building capabilities from scratch is just like having a vintage Jupiter board.

Yamaha sounds most musical and inspiring.

Yamaha modx is the king. I'm glad I own one. The DX7 FM synthesizer in the modx is the food of the soul.

Best comparison I’ve ever seen or heard! Great job!

[deydododontdedoh.]

I don't have any of these, I can't play but love synths.
All sound great to me and would be happy with any of them but Yamaha edges it for me.
The Roland sounds a bit muted/dull and Korg sounds the opposite a bit upfront/brassy but the yamaha sounds the more natural and neutral sounding of the bunch.
Great playing, I really need to learn!

I have a Korg Krome and I really love the realistic piano sounds and all of its capabilities. The only thing that sucks about it is the less durability on the road if you’re touring. You really need to invest in a better keyboard case because of the SD card. If that gets knocked out of place or if you need to get a brand new card you’re looking at 200 dollars just to fix the problem unless you do it yourself.

Well, I had a Roland FA07, and now I have a Yamaha MODX since 3 month. No comparison : Yamaha sounds much better, and his touchscreen make it so easier to use !

[lars]

I've had my eyes set on the MODX for a while now, but I just wanted to expose myself to other keyboards similar to it to see if there was a better option for me. I think I'm still going to stick with the MODX. The FM synth engine is one of the big selling points for me.

[caseytrombley]

That Roland FA demo is great, thanks for playing it.

[arp]

Korg Krome 61 is good for recording a sound. Roland FA 06 is good for live performance. Where as Yamaha MODX is extraordinary thing. But where all keyboard have its own quality of sounds.

[darebdeviii]

Wow the piano on the Yamaha! The imaging and depth is phenomenal.

[mosesmedina]

Yamaha modx sounds so much better so warm .. and I have the modx8

[agst]

very nice comparison, would also be interesting to see the comparison of MODX's performance vs Roland and Korg's Combi. Thanks

[dougdixonhull]

I'm a massive Korg fan and Love the Roland's aswell owning both korgs synths and a Fantom so what I am going to say may come as a shock but in this demo I think the Yamaha wins, hands down.
All are strong and capable but the MO has the edge.
Great video

[meinhodenjucktextrem]

This is the very best comparison ever. Thank you so much.

[atcfisherman]

All three are awesome. The FA is the bust buy for the money because of what you get. All three sound great in their own right.

[reneliebregt]

Very good comparison !! Thank you for sharing your honest opinions about the different sounds 👍🎹😀
You play very good keyboard too😀
