SD1007

So Belgium is the lucky Country to get the first few PA1 XPro, huh? I thought for sure we'd be hearing from Graham from the UK as the 'first' owner of the PA1 XPro on this Forum. One thing for sure, Europe and the surrounding area seem to be the Countries that always get 'any' new high end Arranger first. And of course that is because there are many, many more Arranger Keyboardists in Europe, etc. Congratulations 'SD1007'!. I hope you will fill us all in on the details of Korg's new high end Arranger. Such as are the sounds really as good as some of the latest Demos we've heard? What sound system are you using to output the PA1 XPro to? The sound system goes a 'long' way in articulating the true sound capability of any Keyboard instrument. So for good analysis of the PA1 XPro's sounds would require a decent sound system to judge the true nature of the sound quality. Either that or an extremely good pair of Professional Headphones.

'SD1007', if you don't mind, could you please put the PA1 XPro through some rigorous paces to try and see if the Polyphony issue is relevant or not, ie., "does the PA1 XPro exhibit any 'note drop off' for lack of Polyphony? That is one of the 'biggest' questions on most people's minds is the Polyphony issue. Thank you for being a 'beta tester' SD1007. Please keep us informed and updated often about your likes, dislikes, about the features, instrument likes/dislikes, Sequencer likes/dislikes/, button layout likes/dislikes, opinions about using the PA1 XPro for Live! use suitability, etc., etc. We are ALL looking forward with bated breath to hear your qualified opinions about the new Korg Arranger.

Again congratulations on being the first person on the Planet??!?!? - to own the new Korg PA1 XPro just as Terry was one of the first on the planet to own a Yamaha Motif ES.

Best regards,
Mike
