Jamman: I 'm just angry with them for using same os and not updating both hardware and software aggressively in several years.
Me: I added a long list of hardware and software features recently introduced.
Jamman: did I say or complain about the sounds?
Comment: I can't understand your last reply---------------------------------------------
hardware means not just(ROM mem),or not new feature that wk stations have(CDR .I am talking about arranger (realtime control ) hardware.(eg.sliders,fill buttons - yes I 3 had them in 1993)(or not less than perfect sampler , which has been done by other manufactures along time ago(GEM or Ketron).
until TC equipped pa1x ,VH(function wise) in korgs have been a joke,(pa 80 /is series)compared to same year PSR (2000 or 9000).
hard ware - sliders - I3 vs pa 1x (more or less same)
fill buttons (still 2 ) with one break button added(again less usuable).
Touch screen(not a plus in an arranger).,full spec sound editor(not new for Korg arrangers ),
karaoke,mp3,cd burner(plus for play back of smf /recorded music to sing on top of it),but not for using ARRANGER styles/func
--------------------------------------------
* Example 2 *
Jamman: ....when arrangers still are weak in real sounds-(still true to new Korgs).
Me: this is completely subjective. I suggest you anyway to try again the solo sounds and drum kits in Pa1X and reconsider this ....
Jamman: you have to re read my post.I said Korg has the best sounds.
Comment: I re-read your post and I cannot re-understand your last reply.
Sorry .... maybe that english is not my first language, but what is written seems so clear that cannot figure out what's under the discussion.
--------------------------------------------
again reread my post.or I'll repost (paste it) again.
--Pa1x,pa80,50(same old I 3 format,they forgot why I3 was a hit,the reason was the pro quality sounds , sequencer and hardware in a arranger KB in 93 when arrangers still are weak in real sounds-(still true to new Korgs),but not because of real time arranger functions.--
it means (I 3 and newer Korg arrangers) sold mainly for sounds,seq,hardware not for arranger function it self.
it is still true to new korgs( they sell for the same reason like I3),
meaning- new korgs have same qualities like I3(better sound /seq /edit and hardware than competition ie-new yams,rolands.)
-----------------------------------------------
I would like also to discuss about some features you mentioned considering them more useful than others (also in this case everything about utility is debatable), or about the fill problem but we will keep for sure our opinions loosing time, so probably better come to an end.
Thanks anyway for sharing ideas and .... cheers :-)

go to a dealer(who knows thier product).put a SMF on 2k,3k or 1500 and change arranger styles while SMF was still playing.you'll hear your country SMF will be played with a techno style or a ballad or a hard rock with a touch of a button(and change any style you like)without affecting song data(track 10 will be changed) on the fly or change it back to original style etc, with out misiing a beat.A killer feature if you play SMF every night and change the rhythm track according to the mood of the audience for that particular night).
will continue.
