The NanoSynth went for £60

The MU50 came yesterday and is connected to my PC via the UM2. In XG mode, it’s quite similar to my PSR290 keyboard and in many cases I’ve been unable to detect a difference in sound between the two. On differences, it has got me back to a “plunkier” banjo sound which I prefer although, playing with a downloaded “Stairway To Heaven”, I’d say I prefer the PSR290s “acoustic nylon guitar”. I guess Yamaha made some revisions over time to the same basic sound set?

The MU50 does appear to make it easy to edit various parameters, attack, decay, some effects, for the sounds but I’ve yet to mess around with that.
