Espero mi comentario sea útil para alguien que se encuentre indeciso de adquirir alguno de estos dos equipos; debo decir que he tenido la oportunidad de tener ambos, solo que no simultaneamente.

No hay discusión en cuanto a qué equipo gana en dichos sonidos (al menos en mi opinión), es decir; quién es el claro ganador. A decir verdad, Yamaha se lleva los pianos, pero KORG (reitero, en mi opinión y la experiencia que me llevé) tiene mejores sonidos de órganos, strings y metales que los que tiene Yamaha. En cuanto a sonidos de sintetizadores, lead, pads; es cuestión de gustos ya que ambos tienen buenos sonidos en dichas categorías. Todo es cuestión de gustos y necesidades, el MX tiene una interfaz de uso más simple y sencilla que la del KROSS, ya que este último presenta muchas posibilidades de editar los sonidos a tu gusto, así como sus arpegiadores y osciladores. En resúmen, si te interesa la edición de sonidos y producción de música el KROSS basta y sobra (muy bueno la verdad); por otra parte, si te interesa solamente tocar, y/o usar el teclado como controlador, el MX es una muy buena opción.

buen aporte ... yo creo que voy a irme por yamaha mas por un tema de probar otra cosa, ya que vengo del korg triton por mas de 15 anos casi y quiero otro timbre en ese rango de precio
Gracias por el comentario! Te puedo hacer una pregunta ya que tuviste ambos? Yo tuve un korg x50 y resultó ser un muy buen sinte pero con muchos problemas técnicos (se me rompió 4 veces) y quería comprarme el kross 2 pero tengo miedo de volver a tener los problemas q tenía con mi anterior korg, además de que para el nivel de sonido y posibilidades que tiene su precio es muy barato lo cual me produce un poco de desconfianza...qué opinás? El MX es considerablemente más caro, al menos en argentina...
@@diegofernandezmardaraz4155 ¿qué tal Diego?, sí mira; la verdad es que el MX es más caro que el KROSS, aunque yo lo conseguí de oportunidad, me lo cambiaron por el KROSS. Debo decir que a veces extraño la interfaz de navegación y edición con la que cuenta el KROSS, y algunas gamas de sonido como los pianos eléctricos FM; además de que puedes utilizar el sintetizador como interface/interfaz de audio para ponerle un micrófono, mientras que el MX no cuenta con esta posibilidad pero tiene buen motor de edición de sonidos (al menos para lo que me interesa) aunque es más sencilla que la del KROSS. Bueno, ahora sí al grano; la verdad el MX se siente mucho mejor construido que el KROSS (aunque por una extraña razón el tacto de las teclas me gustó más en este), este se siente muy frágil, de modo que a la primera que se te caiga va a sufrir daños significativos, aunque la ventaja es que es muy ligero, práctico y portátil. Mientras le consigas una buena funda o estuche y dependiendo también qué tan cuidadoso seas con tus instrumentos (sin el afán de ofender, pero es que si hay gente muy tosca) todo bien, te debe durar. Respecto al MX en este ámbito creo que queda un poco más resuelto, es un poco más pesado (muy poca diferencia) y se siente mejor construido como dije antes, la ventaja que tiene este equipo es que puedes utilizar la aplicación FM Essential (siempre y cuando tengas un dispositivo Apple) que te da más posibilidades de control sobre los sonidos que trae la app. Si consigues el MX cuida que sea la versión 2 para que puedas usar FM Essential. Vas a diferenciar la versión 1 de la 2, porque la 1 tiene letras color vino/guinda (no estoy muy seguro que color sea, pero más o menos), mientras que la versión 2 tiene letras color naranja. Por lo demás, recuerda que todo es cuestión de gustos y necesidades y el tipo de música que toques; yo por ejemplo, opté mejor por el MX porque toco música cristiana, y para los sonidos que trae me parece mejor opción.

Korg Kross 2 for the synth layers & strings...Yamaha Mx for the acoustic instruments especially ac pianos...it all have to do with one's personal taste & preference....2 awesome sounding keyboards...a win win!!!
You could argue that the MX61 has slightly better? acoustic sounds but I think the Kross would cut through much better in a mix. In the end the choice is what you think suits your needs. They are both great at this price point!
I've worked in a music store selling all varieties of synthesiser to portable keyboards, workstations. Etc. From my personal experience yamaha does have rich acoustic sounds. Like guitar and some woodwind instruments like soprano sexaphone. But it's string , bass and drums aren't really as good as Korg. If you compare them both in person with good sound system you will find that korg sounds richer even though it's sound engine is not as compatible to XG yamaha series like motif. One other thing is programing. You will find that the 16 track sequencing is much better then yamaha. Where by yamaha is limited. No matter how good their sound engine is. Personally I'm still a fan of Korg, Roland, Alesys, and Hammond when it comes to sounds like the pipe organ and etc.
Respeito muito as duas marcas e os modelos ,são grandes marcas...mais na minha opinião o mx superou em vários sons inclusive o piano...o timbre do piano do mx e perfeito , sempre procurando tirar o timbre mais próximo do piano de cauda. já o korg parece ter um som de piano mais artificial...mas como disse é minha opinião ,gosto é gosto kkkk

Thanks so much for this demo/comparison. It's really helpful to me. In my opinion, the piano & the strings sound better on the Kross 2 than the MX61. But the flute & the clavinet sound better on the MX61. In general, both sound good but I prefer the Kross 2. The Kross 2 looks really sleek with the curvy sides but the first & last keys are exposed (on the side) so you have to be careful while carrying this keyboard, otherwise those keys might break. Thanks again.

I have both and like them both for different things. The Korg to me though is a better base keyboard instrument and the Yamaha excels at backup keyboard parts! I really like the Favorites and Set List options on the Korg which make it easy for me to switch to my favorite sounds quickly. However, being able to see 2 sounds at a time and switch to them and layer or split them on the Yamaha is also very handy for my background parts. I really love the Phat Korg Piano a lot after playing it in the band. I typically like to play the main keyboard sounds I use an octave lower than default so I had to save them all that way. Also I wish they didn't default all the sounds to have a drum kit and an arpeggiator on them so you have to turn them off---they should be additive features and not default, but you can save them how you want to.
One of my favorite flute layers on the Yamaha is the "Sweet Flute" and the "2 Flute" I give the Sweet Fluit more volume to be more pronounced. Then I add just a touch of chorus and the stereo field really opens up. Sounds fantastic.
Yep, that MX flute is gorgeous. I have the Korg too, wish the flute was better on it, great vibraphone, though. Probably doesn't matter to most folks, but I play flute and was amazed by the MX flute.
I'm about to replace a broken MX61, so I decided to try something different, since my last four live keyboards have been Yamahas. The Kross 2 was on my short list, but one show-stopping feature (or lack thereof) took it off for me: on an MX61, you can change a patch (or bring in a layer) while holding down the sustain pedal and the change won't hit until you lift your foot. This is great to have, since if, say, I want to add strings to a piano for the chorus, I don't have to hit the layer button exactly on the downbeat of the chorus--I can hit it a bit early, so that when the chorus hits, I can be playing keys with both hands, instead of pushing a button with one hand. The Kross 2 changes as soon as you touch the button, whether you're sustaining or not. I ended up ordering a Roland Juno DS61 for that reason.

It's kinda hard to say which one's better, but I get the feeling the Korg's trying to represent instruments while the Yamaha is trying to represent the way older Yamaha synths and workstations failed to perfectly represent instruments which they're so loved and cherished for today. A bit more situational than the Korg.
Very helpful as I am considering both of these. Disclaimer - I am a guitarist, playing keys is a third or fourth instrument at best and I play keys like a guitar player! I can clearly hear the differences, but it would have been helpful to me to know what patches were being compared, and to also hear some layers, although that would have made the video much longer, I realize! Coming at it as a guitarist, while some of the acoustic piano and even some of the EP sounds were maybe more "natural" on the Yamaha, I have to think that in a band situation that subtlety would not hold up. The Korg sounds like it would push the mix stronger. That might carry over to recording as well; maybe not. It also looked like the key action was a bit more natural on the Yamaha, but that was just observation and maybe not accurate. Thanks again though, very helpful!
I love Yamaha, but the build quality wasn't there in my opinion on the MX. It sounds great, but feels cheap to me. I'm buying a Kross 2, unfortunately It's a blind purchase. No one around here has 1 I can play.
Só quem tem um Korg Kross 2 sabe o que é um workstation prático e Robusto. Já toquei em Mx61 por um longo período mas quando comecei a usar o korg kross 2 me identifiquei com ele pela praticidade e qualidade impressionante que ele tem. Cada qual tem seu gosto, o meu foi o korg kross 2 e me surpreendo cada dia mais com ele.
I am a Yamaha guy generally, but from this demo I prefer the Kross 2 over the MX for most of the sounds other than flute and Wurlitzer electric piano. I have played an MX before, and own a Motif XF8, so I do have some reference. However, RUclips videos do not always show exactly how something will sound in person.
Muito bom os dois mas achei os pianos acústicos do mx61 mais bonitos já os timbres de clavi net do k2 achei mais fortes os órgãos da korg são mais agressivos mas o do Yamaha mais harmônicos as cordas deu empate td isso ao meu ver claro
Mas pode editado msm, ainda mais pq eles criaram um software exclusivo p linha mx 49 e 61 que é o vycro, com disposição para download grátis: vycromx.com/download/win/
I love my older Yamaha for the feel but have been using the K2 for over a year and find it to be easy to tweek. Both brands do a great job and cost less than a lot of their competitors.
EPs are always just subjective in my opinion. If the sound is pleasant and fits the song then who cares if it sounds exactly like the original? The dynamics and how well velocity switching is handled is more important and this wasn't really tested here. I'd give the edge to the MX61 on those criteria though.
The Kross is warmer, but I like the larger range of frequencies that I'm hearing on the mx. It's easier to subtract freqs with an eq than to add them in later.
Brother, the sound of the Kross seems to be more "chubby" ... but the Mx excels and much in quality (my opinion) although it seems a little less "chubby" ... (nothing a good edition does not solve, compressor, Eq, etc.) Congratulations on the video and everyone else !! I follow your channel to times, and for me is the best when it comes to demonstration of instruments and equipment.
I think I will buy the Kross 88 and the MX 49 to get the concert piano sound which I believe to be the best. It wont cost too much and I'll get the best of both worlds. ADD: After looking in detail the manuals for both models the Yamaha is very limited when it comes to modify the sounds. essentially you can change the attack, sustain, cutoff and resonance. There are LFOs to modulate the amplitude and pitch which for me is important if I want to be able to create my own sounds. Just for his reason, I would go for the Kross 2 or maybe consider the Juno DS from roland in about he same price range.
I have used both extensively, being into ultra-lightweight keyboards that promise good quality sound. I play the MX a lot, and I've loaned the Kross (1, not 2, I admit, but I think the sounds are the same?) to a friend. The Kross' plusses are a) You can make more detailed Combi's with a greater number of different parts, on the synth itself. b) the sounds kind of jump out at you. (but that is a negative too, they can start sounding artificial at times.) The Yamaha has a better feeling keyboard to me, the Korg's being very springy - but you do get used to it, although you have to kind of 'pretend' you're playing a real keyboard, it does work after you get used to it. But on the other hand, the Yamaha can sound organ-like when you are in a band context. This is good for its ability to 'fill in' a band's sound, but the Korg has a different kind of more useful midrange dynamic. I was constantly making up new EP and Organ sounds thru editing on the Kross, not because you can, which IS a nice feature, but because the ones they provide, and the ones you can tweak them into, aren't quite satisfying. The Yamaha MX's EP's are really fantastic, as are some of their organ patches. That's why the Yamaha MX(49) is right here next to me, and the Kross is at a friend's place. I pick it up right before the holiday season, because with its (the Kross') superior "Multi' ability, I've programmed a bunch of Combi's in it that i use in Holidelic, a wild inclusive xmas funk band. To be fair, I did do one or two great local gigs on just the Kross 61 and a Hammond SK-1, that covered all the bases, and fooled everyone, hah! PS: on this very fine and useful muzykuj video, it sounds to me like, though both are excellent piano patches, the Korg Kross has a lot of well distributed transient info, but it decays too quickly for my taste.
Great descriptions. I too have used both Korg and Yamaha. It's so true that the Korg sounds jump out at you and I found that good for creating but not always so good while playing in a band. Sometimes you need to sounds to ease in and fill in the sound, not jump out of nowhere so abruptly. Better dynamics on the Yamaha too, as you said.
It's like the SNES v Megadrive Question, this is the best comparison video. I bought the KORG after this video but there's very little difference in sound capabilities. I just love the KORG old school synth sounds. I would love to try the Juno tho!
Both are good but Korg has more full-body. Korg is like you are right up close to the instrument while the Yamaha has some room and space as if you were sitting further away from the instrument, whether it be a piano, or strings, or whatever.
NO NO NO. yamaha piano is shiet. decay sounds soooo synthetic, she sound like decays and then at some point freezes for EVER... its like 100% deal breaker. You can hear it here. At first it feels like minor prblm, but when you notice it, thats for ever
I have both now and selling the Kross and keeping the MX. The Kross has the midi and audio recorder advantage, but soundwise, except from Electric pianos and Synth sounds, (good on both boards, each in its own way), the MX beats the Kross on all other instruments. I would say that Electric Bass, Acoustic Drums and Organs are the instruments where there is the bigger gap in quality, in favour of the MX. The acoustic pianos are also more realistic on the MX
Yamaha is better in changing sounds without cut but quality of sounds in Korg is best. Piano sounds in played in Korg is just for entry to learn editing sounds. There are so many pianos including Bollywood pianos Yamaha will have to take years to make such sounds.
#1- in a band context, you are lucky to even be in the mix so the better piano or sounds dont matter when they are this close. #2- if you just set it and forget it one synth might sound better than the other but I'll change patches many times even in a song. Korg offers 8 banks of 16 pads so you can have your favorite combinations and programs easily available. Good luck being heard after the guitars come in and the deaf sound man is texting his boyfriend. . .
Comes down to features. Sounds are all personal preference. If you listen to the Korg Kronos and MX...huge difference. Also, in price. However, these two are very similar in sound and it comes down to one's personal taste. The features on the MX are superior to me than the Kross. I used both in the store with DAW and the MX is more easy friendly. However, I do wish that the MX had a pad. Also, you save a little more money on the MX.
The problem with Yamaha is they put reverb by default on just about everything. And you think it sounds better until you sample the dry wave. I have both boards. Korg doesn't drown every sound out in reverb. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. But The MX61 and it's big brother are not the same. I have that one too.
The Yamaha made me feel more emotion especially the pianos and we're more subtle and dark, very good in my opinion. Korg synth sounds are better though
oi amigo, muito bom o vídeo! Gostei de ambos, mas achei melhor o Kross! vou comprar um. Os teclados Korg ao vivo tem "punch" excelente. já tive um M50 e nossa...que som no PA. por outro lado tive algumas decepções com Roland e Yamaha no quesito ao vivo. No fone o som parece ótimo mas ao vivo....claro que não me refiro aos tops das marcas.
Exatamente! Acabei de testar um xps30 (mesmo nível do kross 2 e mx61) e vendo no RUclips com fone, o som deles eram uma maravilha, mas no PA! Decepciona (pelo menos o xps30), não testei o mx61 nem o kross2, mas dizem que o kross é o que soa melhor no PA .
Six in one, half a dozen in the other. Both have their strengths. Yamaha sounded slightly better to me with piano, Korg's strings were better...it alternated back and forth for the most part. If I had to pick a winner on sound alone overall, a very slight edge to Yamaha. However, Korg has a pretty cool sampler with pads. I'm guessing the Yamaha does too? I did see what appear to be sample pads. Don't think you can go wrong either way.
The top is basically a motif and the bottom seems to slightly upgraded with the piano sound. Korg is surprisingly good but it is being compared to a motif basically
I have the Korg and have spent time on the ck. My gigs include jazz funk country r&b etc.3 gigs a week At 77 yrs old..it's grab and go In the studio the eq is a breeze for writing you can catch quick recording before the Idea escapes me. That's my perspective. Danny tyrell
I just sold my Korg Krome 61 and got the MX61...Korg was better ant phat synth but the MX blows it away in the Piano and EP category. And with the Vycro MX software ..you can do amazing, thick layered textures and splits
: / AFTER LISTENING TO THIS VIDEO SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN READING ALL THE COMMENTS? I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE ELSE DID NOT HEAR THE DIFFERENCE IN CLARITY, PUNCH, AND POWER, FROM THE YAMAHA OVER THE KORG IN EVERY SENSE? ITS LITERALLY LIKE NIGHT AND DAY.. WITH THE YAMAHA BEING DAY!
wow thats amazing... the most of the people like the yamaha and didn't hear that the korg sounds much more realistic and authentic in acoustic reproduction
Se vc conprar um mx 61 vc estara conprando um sinth bonito e que nao deicha a desejar dos grandes ele tem dons derivados do motif quem conhece motif sabe o q estou falando Se vc conprar o kross vc vai ser muito feliz mas de 1000 sons de qualidade
OK, a question for gigging musicians: which one of these, or perhaps a closely matched and priced competitor (DS61?) would prove to be most useful on stage? I think I would be happy with the sound of either one; what about play-ability, changing bank/registers, on the fly adjustments, splits and layers and switching thereof, etc. Thanks for any useful info anyone can provide! Oh, and can I run my bass guitar through any of them? On several songs I swap back and forth, using the Right split and output for keys bass. Tone and volume I can match really well with my Casio, each going to the amp separately, but it would be nice to take both through the same effects chain.
I got yamaha mx hoping for this great piano sound, but there is occasions that something very synthetic sticks out. Mostly the problem is with sustained sound, just pure digital synthesis. I was hoping it to replace my dinosaur M3, but not this time.
Same problem with my psr e 463 yamaha,sometimes while playing the piano voice with sustain,one or two notes in apassage would play out piano harmonic ,which is thin sounding like guitar harmonic
My friend, I've tested the modx and I felt really disappointed. It sounds with no more punch than MX. It doesn't mean modx is bad, but it means that there's no sense to buy more for the Modx
@@italo_spotter bro, i has 4 keys nord electro 6d, korg tr, mx and modx i love modx becoz it is similar to montage and superior sound quality... For stage purpose and for recording i definitely take modx and tr with me... Modx is superior workstation...
Really can't give it a fair comparison because with the oscillator both keyboards can be tweak to sound the same. This is the power of midi synthesis if you know what you're doing.
MX wins, it sounds more organic and natural (i mean bread and butter sounds, synths are a matter of personal taste). I bought a Kross (v1) and kept it only one week . It sounded a kind of "fake" to me, especially acoustic pianos. Now back to the more quality Motif sounds: I have to choose between spending a little (MX49 ) or all my money (Moxf6) !
Most problems and questions are written here again like million times :) Yamaha has amazing acoustic sounds ... Rhodes , piano , wurli , clav , strings , brass etc .. But in crowded membered bands , Korg always sounds better ... If u r gospel , r&b , funk , soul musician , then the main key should be Yamaha .. The best setup in the world in my opinion is Motif series and Triton series .. Main is Motif , solo is Triton :))) Then u can play all genres ..
@@Neil-Aspinall I'm very frustrated with the acoustic sounds. The preset equalizing (original) is awful too, the volume of the registers has much difference and you can't change softly fron one to other
@@erself OK I now have one and whilst I am basically happy with it. The good first : The cello, viola and acoustic bass sounds are pretty good. The pianos are passable in a mix. Some organs are OK. Some brass sounds in a mix are acceptable. I will have many purposes for the huge drum section. The Bad : Some voicings have bizarre ghost sounds associated with them. I also found that these ghost sounds sometimes are only on certain notes??? In the case Reed Organ there are fairly loud out of tune ghost bass sounds but once again only on certain notes. As I am able to send the KROSS 2 back for my money within 30 days I did some research and found KORG Europe. I had a few emails with them. I told of the above problems and had these answers back. Yes we can confirm that these problems are known and as far as we are concerned are acceptable!!!! So will I give it back? Probably not as overall for the money there's not really much compares out there and I can't really afford a more expensive one at this time. I will make sure people know about Korg's low quality control issues though. I also found changing between voicings can some times create a loud change over sound. If you ask me this keyboard has been brought to market as a beta version and to tell you the truth I am astounded that a company like Korg would have done so. Egon have you discovered these problems or others?
to compare kross has more weight punch sounds. for my perspective.however x61 has brighter sounds. for budget get x61. to play sequence as work station at home. just my humble opinion. no offence means.
In my opinion, Korg Sounds Better when it comes Piano and string sounds Yamaha sounds better with clavinet sounds Organ Sounds: Both are at par. Strings: Korg sounded better. much more fuller, natural and brighter EP: Both are beautiful.Flutes: Yamaha Sounded better Synths Leads : Both are great

Blimey they are both cracking for the price. What a time to be a keyboard player.
I do love Korg and I love Roland but Yamaha is still my favorite and holds a place in my heart.
Play korg ek 50 once. The piano sound will touch your soul. Its better than yamaha and even better than korg pa series.
Korg Kross 2 for the synth layers & strings...Yamaha Mx for the acoustic instruments especially ac pianos...it all have to do with one's personal taste & preference....2 awesome sounding keyboards...a win win!!!
The reverb that comes by default on Yamaha sounds is as always is overwhelming.
@Ronan Johnny -_-
when it come to mix that reverb is just makes extra work and you don't want that
@@g-funktion1235 you can simply set the reverb amount on 0 ;)

Excellent playing sir! Now this is how you do a comparison / demo video! I love em' both; will be hard to choose which one.
I have both and like them both for different things. The Korg to me though is a better base keyboard instrument and the Yamaha excels at backup keyboard parts! I really like the Favorites and Set List options on the Korg which make it easy for me to switch to my favorite sounds quickly. However, being able to see 2 sounds at a time and switch to them and layer or split them on the Yamaha is also very handy for my background parts. I really love the Phat Korg Piano a lot after playing it in the band. I typically like to play the main keyboard sounds I use an octave lower than default so I had to save them all that way. Also I wish they didn't default all the sounds to have a drum kit and an arpeggiator on them so you have to turn them off---they should be additive features and not default, but you can save them how you want to.
Also yamaha goods for brass or other wind effects
One of my favorite flute layers on the Yamaha is the "Sweet Flute" and the "2 Flute" I give the Sweet Fluit more volume to be more pronounced. Then I add just a touch of chorus and the stereo field really opens up. Sounds fantastic.
Yep, that MX flute is gorgeous. I have the Korg too, wish the flute was better on it, great vibraphone, though. Probably doesn't matter to most folks, but I play flute and was amazed by the MX flute.
I'm about to replace a broken MX61, so I decided to try something different, since my last four live keyboards have been Yamahas. The Kross 2 was on my short list, but one show-stopping feature (or lack thereof) took it off for me: on an MX61, you can change a patch (or bring in a layer) while holding down the sustain pedal and the change won't hit until you lift your foot. This is great to have, since if, say, I want to add strings to a piano for the chorus, I don't have to hit the layer button exactly on the downbeat of the chorus--I can hit it a bit early, so that when the chorus hits, I can be playing keys with both hands, instead of pushing a button with one hand. The Kross 2 changes as soon as you touch the button, whether you're sustaining or not. I ended up ordering a Roland Juno DS61 for that reason.

It's kinda hard to say which one's better, but I get the feeling the Korg's trying to represent instruments while the Yamaha is trying to represent the way older Yamaha synths and workstations failed to perfectly represent instruments which they're so loved and cherished for today.
A bit more situational than the Korg.
Very helpful as I am considering both of these. Disclaimer - I am a guitarist, playing keys is a third or fourth instrument at best and I play keys like a guitar player! I can clearly hear the differences, but it would have been helpful to me to know what patches were being compared, and to also hear some layers, although that would have made the video much longer, I realize! Coming at it as a guitarist, while some of the acoustic piano and even some of the EP sounds were maybe more "natural" on the Yamaha, I have to think that in a band situation that subtlety would not hold up. The Korg sounds like it would push the mix stronger. That might carry over to recording as well; maybe not. It also looked like the key action was a bit more natural on the Yamaha, but that was just observation and maybe not accurate.
Thanks again though, very helpful!
I love Yamaha, but the build quality wasn't there in my opinion on the MX. It sounds great, but feels cheap to me. I'm buying a Kross 2, unfortunately It's a blind purchase. No one around here has 1 I can play.
Só quem tem um Korg Kross 2 sabe o que é um workstation prático e Robusto. Já toquei em Mx61 por um longo período mas quando comecei a usar o korg kross 2 me identifiquei com ele pela praticidade e qualidade impressionante que ele tem. Cada qual tem seu gosto, o meu foi o korg kross 2 e me surpreendo cada dia mais com ele.
Olá , Marcos o que acha do korg kross 1
?
@@ValentinaR233 Mano nunca cheguei a usar o Kross 1. o James Freitas usa um e pelo o que ele faz com este teclado é surpreendente
great demonstration both great synthesizer
I own a Yamaha MOXF 61, & for me, Korg goes par with Yamaha, if not better. I am getting the Kross 2 soon
A cada video estou mais apaixonada pelo MX 61... quase pegando um
I am a Yamaha guy generally, but from this demo I prefer the Kross 2 over the MX for most of the sounds other than flute and Wurlitzer electric piano. I have played an MX before, and own a Motif XF8, so I do have some reference. However, RUclips videos do not always show exactly how something will sound in person.
Can send the MX to me
Muito bom os dois mas achei os pianos acústicos do mx61 mais bonitos já os timbres de clavi net do k2 achei mais fortes os órgãos da korg são mais agressivos mas o do Yamaha mais harmônicos as cordas deu empate td isso ao meu ver claro
To achando que editaram o piano do MX61.
Estenderam a ressonância.
Mas pode editado msm, ainda mais pq eles criaram um software exclusivo p linha mx 49 e 61 que é o vycro, com disposição para download grátis: vycromx.com/download/win/
Fico com kross
Queria saber qual melhor custo benefício entre Xps 30 e korg kross 2 ?
Grande mestre Carlinhos...
me falaram que os timbres da yamaha são um dos melhores, e realmente to vendo isso a cada video comparativo
In my opinion, if you are a studio musician, then Kross would suit your style of use. But if you are a stage musician, then MX61 would suit you more.
Just opposite
@@redlines2535 Can you please explain why?
@@tonylancer7367 mx it just not an arrenger
Exact opposite
What if you are both?
I love my older Yamaha for the feel but have been using the K2 for over a year and find it to be easy to tweek. Both brands do a great job and cost less than a lot of their competitors.
Yamaha MX, for most instruments sounds better, (especially piano) and has a better keyboard but you can't record your songs in it like on the Kross.
honestly these two would complement each other nicely....what doesnt sound nice in kross sounds better in yamaha and vice versa
I own the MX61 along with the Vycro MX software...its amazing
Can you create your own splits and layers with the Vycro software? I mean more than two patches...
@@CDK11 Fuck yeah...16 sounds and many layers and multiple splits..This keyboard was instantly better after I found this software
EPs are always just subjective in my opinion. If the sound is pleasant and fits the song then who cares if it sounds exactly like the original? The dynamics and how well velocity switching is handled is more important and this wasn't really tested here. I'd give the edge to the MX61 on those criteria though.
I have a MX88. Same great sounds with a weighted feel 88 note keyboard that only weighs about 30#. Nice.
To rozumiem. Gratulacje za pomysł. Bardzo przydatne porównanie próbek - brzmień obu tych instrumentów
Będzie jeszcze Juno DS do kompletu :)
Independente da qualidade dos instrumentos músicas consigo ver mais potência e qualidade no Korg kross do que no Yamaha.
🙌🏻
The Kross is warmer, but I like the larger range of frequencies that I'm hearing on the mx. It's easier to subtract freqs with an eq than to add them in later.
Brother, the sound of the Kross seems to be more "chubby" ... but the Mx excels and much in quality (my opinion) although it seems a little less "chubby" ... (nothing a good edition does not solve, compressor, Eq, etc.) Congratulations on the video and everyone else !! I follow your channel to times, and for me is the best when it comes to demonstration of instruments and equipment.
I think I will buy the Kross 88 and the MX 49 to get the concert piano sound which I believe to be the best. It wont cost too much and I'll get the best of both worlds. ADD: After looking in detail the manuals for both models the Yamaha is very limited when it comes to modify the sounds. essentially you can change the attack, sustain, cutoff and resonance. There are LFOs to modulate the amplitude and pitch which for me is important if I want to be able to create my own sounds. Just for his reason, I would go for the Kross 2 or maybe consider the Juno DS from roland in about he same price range.
Kross2 is a real hero. Where it generates a authentic sound.
Korg won the visuals, all strings and synth.
Yamaha won the all piano tone..
Both are preferable🎉
I have used both extensively, being into ultra-lightweight keyboards that promise good quality sound.
I play the MX a lot, and I've loaned the Kross (1, not 2, I admit, but I think the sounds are the same?) to a friend.
The Kross' plusses are a) You can make more detailed Combi's with a greater number of different parts, on the synth itself. b) the sounds kind of jump out at you. (but that is a negative too, they can start sounding artificial at times.) The Yamaha has a better feeling keyboard to me, the Korg's being very springy - but you do get used to it, although you have to kind of 'pretend' you're playing a real keyboard, it does work after you get used to it. But on the other hand, the Yamaha can sound organ-like when you are in a band context. This is good for its ability to 'fill in' a band's sound, but the Korg has a different kind of more useful midrange dynamic. I was constantly making up new EP and Organ sounds thru editing on the Kross, not because you can, which IS a nice feature, but because the ones they provide, and the ones you can tweak them into, aren't quite satisfying. The Yamaha MX's EP's are really fantastic, as are some of their organ patches.
That's why the Yamaha MX(49) is right here next to me, and the Kross is at a friend's place. I pick it up right before the holiday season, because with its (the Kross') superior "Multi' ability, I've programmed a bunch of Combi's in it that i use in Holidelic, a wild inclusive xmas funk band. To be fair, I did do one or two great local gigs on just the Kross 61 and a Hammond SK-1, that covered all the bases, and fooled everyone, hah!
PS: on this very fine and useful muzykuj video, it sounds to me like, though both are excellent piano patches, the Korg Kross has a lot of well distributed transient info, but it decays too quickly for my taste.
Great descriptions. I too have used both Korg and Yamaha. It's so true that the Korg sounds jump out at you and I found that good for creating but not always so good while playing in a band. Sometimes you need to sounds to ease in and fill in the sound, not jump out of nowhere so abruptly. Better dynamics on the Yamaha too, as you said.
Thanks
I just got the mx49. The sounds are great, I can’t figure out how to save patches for live use. Any suggestion? Thanks!
@@peterdvideos i just bought MX88, and still not expertize using it. But I guess you will need an external USB memory stick.
It's like the SNES v Megadrive Question, this is the best comparison video. I bought the KORG after this video but there's very little difference in sound capabilities. I just love the KORG old school synth sounds. I would love to try the Juno tho!
Please, tell me more about key's mechanism
@@thepeller210 lol, same here, but the keys are definitely better on the Juno, I think
Korg sem dúvidas, mais pegado timbre
Both are good but Korg has more full-body. Korg is like you are right up close to the instrument while the Yamaha has some room and space as if you were sitting further away from the instrument, whether it be a piano, or strings, or whatever.
That Kross sounds Amazing
Tive o mx61 a pouco tempo, também toquei no kross, achei o kross um pouco melhor e com mais peso sonoro.
Clenilson e o sobre o Krome da korg parece com o kross?
@@ValentinaR233 krome é melhor, tem mais recursos, compartilha a maioria dos timbres com o kross, mas são timbres melhores, especialmente os pianos.
1:47 i feel it... Never give up 😁
😆😆😅
Piano is better in Yamaha but layer piano and strings is better in Korg
So, wich one it's better for beat making and music production?
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Korg will be better
NO NO NO. yamaha piano is shiet. decay sounds soooo synthetic, she sound like decays and then at some point freezes for EVER... its like 100% deal breaker. You can hear it here. At first it feels like minor prblm, but when you notice it, thats for ever
No...strings better Yamaha too
Piano on any budget synth is going to be lacking in some way. I guess they don't want the piano sounds to compete with their actual digital pianos.
Outra diferença e que
o yamaha mx 61 e um sinthetizador
O korg kross e um workstation
Sim, mas o Workstations também são sintetizadores só que com sequênciadores interno!

I have both now and selling the Kross and keeping the MX. The Kross has the midi and audio recorder advantage, but soundwise, except from Electric pianos and Synth sounds, (good on both boards, each in its own way), the MX beats the Kross on all other instruments.
I would say that Electric Bass, Acoustic Drums and Organs are the instruments where there is the bigger gap in quality, in favour of the MX.
The acoustic pianos are also more realistic on the MX
Please tell me honestly about cross key's mechanism.
Os dois teclados são feras, mas ainda vejo que o YAMAHA é superior

Korg for me since I play on a Korg M1. Peace everyone!
For me too.. M1, X3, X50 currently, kross 2 next... I love Korg!!
Sometimes I like the Yamaha better sometimes the Korg.
Great comparison though, thanks.
Yamaha is better in changing sounds without cut but quality of sounds in Korg is best. Piano sounds in played in Korg is just for entry to learn editing sounds. There are so many pianos including Bollywood pianos Yamaha will have to take years to make such sounds.
Quem prefere o som do yamaha da um like girizada!
esses presets sao de fabrica?
Qui ling e issa
Som potencia
Os pianos da Yamaha costumam ser melhores mesmo.
Cool comparison. Sounds like they're both winners. Just personal preferences to guide you.
No piano eu sou mais o mx61 , mas os sons de strings do korg são muito superiores
The strings and brass are better on Korg I think
#1- in a band context, you are lucky to even be in the mix so the better piano or sounds dont matter when they are this close.
#2- if you just set it and forget it one synth might sound better than the other but I'll change patches many times even in a song. Korg offers 8 banks of 16 pads so you can have your favorite combinations and programs easily available.
Good luck being heard after the guitars come in and the deaf sound man is texting his boyfriend. . .
Comes down to features. Sounds are all personal preference. If you listen to the Korg Kronos and MX...huge difference. Also, in price. However, these two are very similar in sound and it comes down to one's personal taste. The features on the MX are superior to me than the Kross. I used both in the store with DAW and the MX is more easy friendly. However, I do wish that the MX had a pad. Also, you save a little more money on the MX.
Korg always and forever✌🎹
hmm sometimes the cut off on the korg is quicker so you get a sense it is more real but the Yamaha is amazing i want one
The problem with Yamaha is they put reverb by default on just about everything. And you think it sounds better until you sample the dry wave. I have both boards. Korg doesn't drown every sound out in reverb. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. But The MX61 and it's big brother are not the same. I have that one too.
I'm torn between the two. Can you please tell me more?
I have the MX-49. Yamaha's always sound darker or duller. Good or bad? it is a preference thing I guess.
The Yamaha made me feel more emotion especially the pianos and we're more subtle and dark, very good in my opinion. Korg synth sounds are better though
I have the same impression
I think its good to have both keyboards in a band, the MX61 for main and the Kross for support
Marc Chester Rivera agreeee
Marc Chester Rivera plus, a Roland keyboard.
So you have the “Big Three” keyboard in your setting on a stage.
oi amigo, muito bom o vídeo!
Gostei de ambos, mas achei melhor o Kross! vou comprar um.
Os teclados Korg ao vivo tem "punch" excelente. já tive um M50 e nossa...que som no PA.
por outro lado tive algumas decepções com Roland e Yamaha no quesito ao vivo. No fone o som parece ótimo mas ao vivo....claro que não me refiro aos tops das marcas.
Exatamente! Acabei de testar um xps30 (mesmo nível do kross 2 e mx61) e vendo no RUclips com fone, o som deles eram uma maravilha, mas no PA! Decepciona (pelo menos o xps30), não testei o mx61 nem o kross2, mas dizem que o kross é o que soa melhor no PA .
Six in one, half a dozen in the other. Both have their strengths. Yamaha sounded slightly better to me with piano, Korg's strings were better...it alternated back and forth for the most part. If I had to pick a winner on sound alone overall, a very slight edge to Yamaha. However, Korg has a pretty cool sampler with pads. I'm guessing the Yamaha does too? I did see what appear to be sample pads. Don't think you can go wrong either way.
I have the MX88 piano action keyboard...and the MX49 that i use for soloing and additional layers.
The top is basically a motif and the bottom seems to slightly upgraded with the piano sound. Korg is surprisingly good but it is being compared to a motif basically
I have the Korg and have spent time on the ck.
My gigs include jazz funk country r&b etc.3 gigs a week
At 77 yrs old..it's grab and go
In the studio the eq is a breeze for writing you can catch quick recording before the Idea escapes me.
That's my perspective.
Danny tyrell
The MX has a slight edge over the Acoustic Sounds
Kross is better when it comes to the Synth section.
Download the Oasys piano for Kross.
Kross has better synth sounds, Yamaha better acoustic sounds as usual
Yes...always
yeah，as usual
Sums it up.
Ur right ✔
Where can I get a new or uses mx61 or a mx49 keyboard.. Help needed
they ALL sound great in the vids. a great pa helps you can bet. where they fall down is in the middle register when playing chords.
I just sold my Korg Krome 61 and got the MX61...Korg was better ant phat synth but the MX blows it away in the Piano and EP category. And with the Vycro MX software ..you can do amazing, thick layered textures and splits
: / AFTER LISTENING TO THIS VIDEO SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN READING ALL THE COMMENTS? I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE ELSE DID NOT HEAR THE DIFFERENCE IN CLARITY, PUNCH, AND POWER, FROM THE YAMAHA OVER THE KORG IN EVERY SENSE? ITS LITERALLY LIKE NIGHT AND DAY.. WITH THE YAMAHA BEING DAY!
wow thats amazing... the most of the people like the yamaha and didn't hear that the korg sounds much more realistic and authentic in acoustic reproduction
Se vc conprar um mx 61 vc estara conprando um sinth bonito e que nao deicha a desejar dos grandes ele tem dons derivados do motif quem conhece motif sabe o q estou falando
Se vc conprar o kross vc vai ser muito feliz mas de 1000 sons de qualidade
OK, a question for gigging musicians: which one of these, or perhaps a closely matched and priced competitor (DS61?) would prove to be most useful on stage? I think I would be happy with the sound of either one; what about play-ability, changing bank/registers, on the fly adjustments, splits and layers and switching thereof, etc. Thanks for any useful info anyone can provide!
Oh, and can I run my bass guitar through any of them? On several songs I swap back and forth, using the Right split and output for keys bass. Tone and volume I can match really well with my Casio, each going to the amp separately, but it would be nice to take both through the same effects chain.
O cara errou ali e foi até acertar skskkss mas parabéns baita comparação mano top
Thanks... Yamaha is the winner to my ears seems warmer and more natural
Going with the Korg!
The MX piano has got the metal string click sound. It's more realistic. Kross is more studio warm piano sound.
I got yamaha mx hoping for this great piano sound, but there is occasions that something very synthetic sticks out. Mostly the problem is with sustained sound, just pure digital synthesis. I was hoping it to replace my dinosaur M3, but not this time.
Same problem with my psr e 463 yamaha,sometimes while playing the piano voice with sustain,one or two notes in apassage would play out piano harmonic ,which is thin sounding like guitar harmonic
Roland and korg is best in piano. Yamaha is good in synts. And
Eletric piano
Thank you! Now I know what kind of synthesizer I need! Yamaha MX61!!!
Las cuerdas del yamaha están en mono mientras que las de korg están en stereo, o tal vez sea un efecto de reverb.
You should do a comparison with Yamaha Mx61 vs Modx 61.
My friend, I've tested the modx and I felt really disappointed. It sounds with no more punch than MX. It doesn't mean modx is bad, but it means that there's no sense to buy more for the Modx
The MODX is FM synthesis. Is the MX61? I don't think so.
MODX is infinitely superior. No comparison.
@@italo_spotter bro, i has 4 keys nord electro 6d, korg tr, mx and modx i love modx becoz it is similar to montage and superior sound quality... For stage purpose and for recording i definitely take modx and tr with me... Modx is superior workstation...
Really can't give it a fair comparison because with the oscillator both keyboards can be tweak to sound the same. This is the power of midi synthesis if you know what you're doing.
nah, MX can't compete in synth sounds, Kross can't compete in piano, no amount of tweaking will change this, among many other things
Yamaha piano sounds wins coz they are a major piano maker and has placing in all concert piano and one of the best piano sounding
MX wins, it sounds more organic and natural (i mean bread and butter sounds, synths are a matter of personal taste). I bought a Kross (v1) and kept it only one week . It sounded a kind of "fake" to me, especially acoustic pianos. Now back to the more quality Motif sounds: I have to choose between spending a little (MX49 ) or all my money (Moxf6) !
Most problems and questions are written here again like million times :) Yamaha has amazing acoustic sounds ... Rhodes , piano , wurli , clav , strings , brass etc .. But in crowded membered bands , Korg always sounds better ... If u r gospel , r&b , funk , soul musician , then the main key should be Yamaha .. The best setup in the world in my opinion is Motif series and Triton series .. Main is Motif , solo is Triton :))) Then u can play all genres ..

@@Neil-Aspinall I'm very frustrated with the acoustic sounds. The preset equalizing (original) is awful too, the volume of the registers has much difference and you can't change softly fron one to other
@@erself OK I now have one and whilst I am basically happy with it. The good first : The cello, viola and acoustic bass sounds are pretty good. The pianos are passable in a mix. Some organs are OK. Some brass sounds in a mix are acceptable. I will have many purposes for the huge drum section. The Bad : Some voicings have bizarre ghost sounds associated with them. I also found that these ghost sounds sometimes are only on certain notes??? In the case Reed Organ there are fairly loud out of tune ghost bass sounds but once again only on certain notes. As I am able to send the KROSS 2 back for my money within 30 days I did some research and found KORG Europe. I had a few emails with them. I told of the above problems and had these answers back. Yes we can confirm that these problems are known and as far as we are concerned are acceptable!!!! So will I give it back? Probably not as overall for the money there's not really much compares out there and I can't really afford a more expensive one at this time. I will make sure people know about Korg's low quality control issues though. I also found changing between voicings can some times create a loud change over sound. If you ask me this keyboard has been brought to market as a beta version and to tell you the truth I am astounded that a company like Korg would have done so. Egon have you discovered these problems or others?
to compare kross has more weight punch sounds. for my perspective.however x61 has brighter sounds. for budget get x61. to play sequence as work station at home. just my humble opinion. no offence means.
In my opinion, Korg Sounds Better when it comes Piano and string sounds
Yamaha sounds better with clavinet sounds
Organ Sounds: Both are at par.
Strings: Korg sounded better. much more fuller, natural and brighter
EP: Both are beautiful.Flutes: Yamaha Sounded better
Synths Leads : Both are great
I have an MX 61I like the sounds of both, the Kross 2 is in my price range.
