None of the triton range have RX technology. The sound engine on the Triton range is slightly different as the triton range sounds are not immediately compatable with the PA1X. The funny thing is that the Pa800 has a new synth engine that sounds astoundingly similar to the old sound engine ! If i were not told that the PA800 had a different sound engine i would not have been able to tell. Listen to some of the demos on the PA1X and then the same demos (yes exactly the same demos) on the PA800 and tell me if you can hear a difference or if you can whether it justifies splashing out new cash if you already own the PA1X ?

Korg will only loose money if people buy from a spec sheet or simply want to aquire new technology. If korg were wary of that then they would have released another instrument by now but i dont think korg have anything to worry about if purchasers use their ears and understand the length of commitment the manufacturer makes to each successive model. The only real change that korg made to the PA800 is the extra polyphony and the extra sampling ram. The extra polyphony was devised to accomodate the up to 16 oscillators per sound . However very few of the sounds on the PA800 use more than 4-5 oscillators . Its only the RX piano that uses more to get the most accurate piano sound on an arranger keyboard. You willmost likely use this instrument in solo playing as it would be lost in accompaniment. AS the PA1X now has the same level of sound design through the new OS3(i,e it now has the capability of using up to 16 oscillators per voice) even withg its reduced polyphony of 62 notes it still is not a major hindrance in solo playing.

Certainly there willba a new PA2X some time but from the various discussions forums that i frequent individuals are still making favourable comparrisons between the T2,G70 and PA1X. Thats not bad for a 3 year old technology instrument
