[tmyboy]

Hey, just want to see what everyone thinks about the Triton LE 88.  I have one and I love it.  Tell me what you think about it, also I would like to know what you guys are using?  I am a new member here at LGM so I want to give a BIG shout out to all of you guys...

do they have a grand piano sample on there now?

I have the 61 key studio, but my church has the 88 key LE.  I said i was going to get one because I need to get use to the weighed keys.

I think it's a nice Keyboard, but the sounds are a little mellow.
The pianos don't cut through the mix when playing with a group, or recording.  The electric pianos are nice.
how much do you want to spend on a keyboard.  
I'm using the Kurzweil K2600 w/expanded memory.

My main keyboard is the 76 key version.
It has built in slider for programming.
i can control 8 modules from the one keyboard.
it also has a Hammond B3 Mode.

I agree with the piano's being to mellow... Do they make any expansion cards with grands on them???

I usually buy from MusiciansFriend.com

Most of the major online sites have the same exact price, however there are exceptions, so always do some reseach before buying online.

Oh yeah, I'm a regular with Musicians Friend.  Don't forget about Sweetwater Sound at http://www.sweetwater.com They are competitive...sometimes prices are even lower than all the other competition.  

REMEMBER:  Most of these sites will match or even beat competitors prices.

Thanks for all your posts.

I've said it in other places but I'll say it again here:  try Full Compass.  You have to order by phone but it's well worth it, their prices are much lower than anywhere else for most items.  They offer special discounts to ministries if you open an account with them.  I will never buy an item anywhere else if they carry it, that's how well they've done me.

At my local church i use a yamaha motif-es 6. I love those sounds. In another church i go to i play a korg triton extreme 61. That keyboard is ok. Some sounds are good like the Epianos, some organs are quite good too. At home for my practicing i have kurz sp-88x. I use this keyboard with the roland xv-2020 and a piano expansion board, the sound is good.

I USE TO OWN A TRITON LE 76 I LIKED EVERYTHING ON IT BUT THE PIANOS THEY SUCKED BUT I LIKED THE ELECTRIC PIANOS THOUGH THEY TIGHT THE ORGANS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS TIGHT 2 YOU JUST CANT EXPAND IT WITH MORE SOUNDS BUT ITS GOOD YOU SHOULD GET THE NEW TR INSTEAD ITS ALOT BETTER

[KurzLand]

YOU SHOULD GET THE NEW TR INSTEAD ITS ALOT BETTER

I agree. If it's a korg that you want go with tr series they are newer and up to date and aren't silver-white but black. New color for the TRiton series.
