Instead of Korg taking the initiative and eliminating the anomaly themselves they are leaving it up to the user to do it himself if he deems it necessary. Yippee... 
The author also noted that when he was playing in a quiet environment he noticed that the keys on the Pa2xPRO made a clattering sound and when he played staccato he noticed that the keys visibly and audibly "quivered" their way back to their initial position. I assume from his reaction that he didn't really care for the clattering and quivering keys on the Pa2xPRO.
The author, in his own words, had this to say about the Pa2xPRO: " At present, it is in a class of its own."
Okay, everybody start scrambling to get your mitts on the new high-end arranger that has apparently supplanted the Tyros2 as the new KING of arrangers. Whilst I do I agree that the PA2XPro is in a "class by itself"...so are the Yamaha Tyros2 (best 61-note arranger) and the Roland G70 (best 76-note arranger), it's my opinion the PA2XPro seems to slip somewhere between them.
The fact that the style fills on the PA2XPro are still problematic (glitchy?) is not progress, and the clickity clackity (and "quivering"?) keyboard that didn't bode favorably with the "qualified" reviewer, is also a step back.
"Tunderin' Toadstools, Mick, she sounds just like me old Underwood".
I'm sure the PA2XPro will find a place in the hearts and on the keyboard stands of numerous people....but it is far from "King of arrangers"...it's just another King in a different suit.
