Hi Tony,
as far as I'm aware , with the PA2x you can actually record samples?? wheras the T2 only plays samples??
You may want to check that out if you intend to do any sampling.

Also if you require using either the T2 or the PA2x as a master keyboard to control your sampler, the T2's controller functions aren't as good as the korgs.

I've used my PA800 as a controller for my sd1 , sd2 soundmodule & psr1500, ie
pa800 plays style parts, I use sd2 or sd1 as soundsource for melody tracks ( or style parts). My PSR couldn't send out the correct program & bank changes to the sd's to be able to be used as a soundsource for rh/Lh melody tracks.

May not be of any importance to you , but thought I'd mention it just in case.

DAbbled for a while with soundfonts & softsynths, haven't as yet tried midiing my laptop to the PA800 for that type of use, but I'm fairly certain I'd able to use the PA800 as a controller for my PC & soundfonts, when I get around to it. Unfortunately I don't think my laptops quite up to scratch for the better software samplers available.

best wishes
Rikki

although i have never used a sampler like Tyros 2 or PA2Xpro so don't know how easy or hard it is to set up preset sounds
