Hi Lucky,

I own a Pa2xpro. I previously owned the Psr9000, Tyros, and the Tyros 2. So I guess I was always a Yamaha man. I became dis-enchanted by the Tyros line due to the lack of 76 keys, non-aggressive sound, lack of contemporary Western styles, and pitiful Musicfinder implementation. I've owned the Motif and the Korg Triton series of workstations as well.

I would say that I'm not really committed to ANY manufacturer. I'm really committed to the keyboard that works best for me. And right now that keyboard is the Pa2xpro. It is a wonderful keyboard. Great package, thoughtful design, great features, and very contemporary sound. Your right about Korg's commitment to the product. Releasing OS 2 is a clear example of that.

Please keep in mind there are trade-offs with EACH manufacturer. There does not currently exist a keyboard that offers everything to ALL players. You and only you can decide which of the trade-offs are important to you.

I love the Korg Live sound. I am a drummer as well as a keyboard player, and the Korg PA drum samples are the best in the business. Very punchy and lot's of choices. You can change drum kits on the fly. There are lot's of great sounds in the Pa especially with OS 2. And for me, I like the Korg Pianos better than the Tyros, although I have not played the T3 as yet.

Just some quick things I love about the Pa2xpro; sliders, touch screen, keybed, songbook, DNC (SuperArticulation), Dual Sequencers, Lyrics/Score display, build quality, size of the board, XLR jack, Vocal Harmonizer, contemporary styles, Operating system (very flexible).


I can keep going on and on comparing each feature. If you have a specific question regarding something on the Korg, don't hesitate to ask. I'll try to be as objective in my response as possible.
