Korg already have great sounds,hardware,VH,look.

Now the problem - styles,fills - if they can only get Yammy guys to do the job.

and another big problem- OS layout that they refuse to change- needing to press shift (a/b)button if you want to select styles/sounds.(say from 8 beats to latin(bossas) need to press an additional button to go to that style page(same is true for the sound layout) .

Korg continues the path of good sounding workstation type Kb with OK arranger functions.

But even after good sounding great priced PA50,OS mistakes like that should be corrected to beat the competition(YAMAHA).

Since YAM has easier layout for instant play/control for the ARRANGER player,they got more users and their 3#rd party support grows(something that Roland and Korg can't compete).

YAMMY can still get away with cheap hardware and not so great (majority of sounds- not discussing about T2)since their OS and styles(simple yet effective ,which can cover many songs,and smooth fills that do not over standout from the styles,(not to mention pads that can play/record LOOPS(relatively new feature only for PAx series-now also with 800 I guess) ,(style drum mix in playing back of SMFs which is a great feature that KORG lacks)-in mid priced like 1500 and 3000 (with are around/near price range of PA-50). Mid and high priced YAMMIES are aimed toward THE TARGET-

"THE ARRANGER PLAYER IN A SOLO ACT,
who will buy a KB which can provide must-haves for him ;the styles,fills,OS,storage,ease of use,3rd party styles and weight against better sequencer,hardware,overall sounds(subjective).


just a thought.
