Howdy Bugle,Yes I have had it for over a month now and I will try to surmise the Pros and Cons.
I use it Live, usually as the bottom board with a Nord Stage 2 73 on top.However if I go one board I usually use the Nord (ill tell you why in the points)
PROS:
1 lightweight, 23 pounds in an 88 key format.Even in the semihard gig bag very easy to transport.
2 88 weighted keys, NOT like the CP series, but still very playable. I think if you grew up as a pianist you might not like the action, but I vome from a keyboard backround so it feels wonderful.
3. the sounds, just 355 mb, but to ME, the acoustic piano works very well in a band/praise context. I actually prefer the MOX piano to my Kromes with its 3 Gig piano.Very good brasses, woodwinds, strings, AND drums. I have programmed a tenor sax that caused the audience to look for the horn player. Lots of "synth" sounds I dont care for or use, not that they are bad, just not in my arsenal.
4. Sequencer- EASY to use intergrates with Sonar. I have ported over projects from my DAW to the MOX and vice versa. Note you have to do it with a USB stick, the MOX will not be recognized as an external drive .
5 Controls 3 pedal inputs, assignable knobs, favorites memory locations, easy to mute a part in combi mode. Instant Split/Layer button.
CONS
1 Sounds-- the organs are, well, OK but the rotary sim is just blah. That is why I bring the Nord when I have one board gig. My focus is on organs and I will take the AC pianos and brass in the nord versus the MOX because the Stage is so much better with organ and the rotary sim.
2. Menu Driven- sometimes its not intuitive I purchased a John Melas software editor for the combis. Yamaha has a free program editor but you can overwrite your patches by one wrong move SO SAVE YOUR EDITS FIRST.
3 The soundset is supposed to be the same as the Motif SX Rack. I have the rack and yes they are the same, so you could score a rack if you have an 88 key controller already.
All in all I am very pleased with its performance size and sounds.I dont ever see them for less than 1699 , but I have seen Sweetwater doing a 12 or 18 month financing on it..
Let me know if you have other questions.
