Hi,

Korg has shown some exciting new features for the Pa800 at Musikmesse this weekend. For the german speaking members you can get the full story here .

Personally I was very surprised to learn that there will be an MP3 board for the Pa800 just like on the Pa1X. Korg will release a new OS by the end of May with support for the new MP3 board and with some other highly requested features:

1) Master EQ (Cool, but should have been there from the start)
2) Drawbars, volume settings etc. can be adjusted directly on the touch screen
3) Guitar Mode
4) MP3 playback/recording (requires MP3 board)
5) MP3 time stretching (requires MP3 board)

I think it is great news that Korg releases a major OS upgrade only 6 months after the Pa800 was shipped.

Please note that this is unofficial information. Hopefully we will soon see a press release on korgpa.com.

Kind regards,
Tommy
