I bought it for less than 300$. I had a Waldorf Q and a Roland Mks30, and was quite happy with these 2 synth.I think you can't compare the possibility of the 2 machines (Q and Trident), the Q is a monster in therm of flexibility and filters and sound choice. The Mks30 is a lovely machine with quite a cheesy sound an a cool Chorus. The Trident Mk2 is a monster in therm of warmness an analog sound, that a Q and a Mks30 can't do. The Q is cold, german, precise but not warm. Take all the effects away of the Q and listen to it. Do the same withe the Trident, it still blows you away.
That sure, the Trident is not as flexible as a Jupiter8 or a Prophet5, and the lack of an arpegiator make it not so good for techno music...
If you're playing sound like progressive rock, if you like the sound of the keyboards of Pink Floyd, Genesis, etc...this is the perfect synth.
You can really do massive, incredibly warm, sirupy and atmospheric analog Pads...perhaps the best pads for the money. But it's also possible to do some nice lead sounds, or basses. Far better than every virtual analogical synths.
This Keyboard is heavy and looks very cool in a keyboard set-up. Thank you Korg for this warm piece of gear.
