I'm sure that there will be a Korg Pa500 with some options removed. My guess is that it will be nearly identical to the Pa800 in many ways but without vocal harmonizer, aftertouch and mp3 playback/recording. However, as long as the Pa800 is selling like hot cakes here in Europe I doubt that Korg will introduce a Pa500. I have been told that only Tyros2 is selling better than the Pa800 right now.

Kind regards,
Tommy
