X50, while having awful keys, wins in the sound department, those extra 32MB are very much audible in choice, both in preset and potentially user programs. It also has a better organization of functions, it is easier to navigate. Beware that portamento is not quite clean.
Make your choice based on the strengths you need.
Now, I will attach a screenshot of the Triton I'am being offered, it has 64 Mb just like the X50. As for the price, they both have the same price of circa €300, but the X50 retained its original box
de facto and it is looking out as an abs. new one in shape. I do not know anything as for the state and condition of the Triton, however.
I need somewhat more of advising indeed. The X50 arrived just a week ago. I have still no experience with it anyway.
To tell the truth, I'm not interested too much in sampling and sequencing from external sources at all but merely to get the most "thick" string & orchestra sound, nothing else, as the Triton is being known of. This just because I have or would have other synths and external effect devices like e.g. the Lexicon MX200.
The two similar instruments in one flat seem to be a wasting enterprise anyway. The one of them should be sold or even not bought at all. The Triton still remains just an idea or an eventual possibility. While the X50 is real and like a toy for playing with. I would not like to take them both too much seriously. Cause the price is not €3,000 indeed but 10fold less though.
