No Keyboard Manufacturer should release a half baked product. Okay, so it's not on U.S. soil yet but it is on European soil and it has been in retail stores there for a few weeks. People own them. They are for sale. The ones they're selling in Europe should not be in any kind of Beta or pre-production stage.

They have put the cart before the HORSE not the other way around. Shame on Korg for releasing a product that the customer can not take full advantage of straight out of the box. At least Yamaha releases Keyboards that you don't have to sit around for 6 months to a year {theoretically speaking} waiting for "parts" to connect the dots with, whether it be Hardware OR software. Bad rap indeed! I can see why.

It would be interesting to hear from JJ and know what he thinks about all this. Does JJ work for Korg? Is that why he distances himself from negative talk about the PA1X PRO?!?!? He had one of the first PA1X PRO's on the planet so possibly he has inside connections with Korg or he works for Korg in some capacity. Or perhaps he doesn't work for Korg, etc., but maybe he got disgusted like Applex has and he sold it or returned it already therefore he has nothing to talk about?

Best regards,
Mike
