After taking a closer look at the Yamaha MOX8, this thing looks like a real winner. The coolest thing it does is function as a 4in/2out computer audio interface, all over one usb cable. What this means is, by plugging in one USB cable to my laptop, I can access and play either live or in the studio, any VSTi's I may have on my laptop. Very cool! And it comes bundled with a version of Cubase.

For now anyway, the MOX8 goes to the front of the line.

Each has advantages over the other. Organ aside, main advantages of the E3-73HP over the PC3LE7 would be

* a weighted action that will probably be better than the semi-weighted action in the Kurz

* the ability to load your own samples

* upgradeable sounds (i.e. Nord periodically comes out with entirely new sounds that can be loaded into their units; the sounds in the Kurz ROM are fixed, so any "new" sounds are limited to being variations of what's already in there)

* smaller and lighter

Big Kurz advantages over the Nord would be

* more live performance control functions (i.e. pitch bend, aftertouch, mod wheel)

* the ability to split and layer sounds (Nord is strictly one sound at a time)

* a full VA synth engine (with patch editing available via computer)
