in my oppinion, the best about korg it is it's sound. to me, as a MOTL arranger user, roland did not offer what korg offered years ago. yes, i was happy with roland E60 having six fills and so on, but really, soundwise it has been behind G70. this was not the case with my Pa50, compared to Pa80. and if i am not wrong, today the pa500 offers the same sound (except for the latest OS2) as pa800/pa2x.
another strong point with korg is they offer more alternatives compared with roland, when it comes about assigning buttons, functions and so on. even in the MOTL arrangers.
and about this survey, i must say i can not remember of any other manufacturer doing this. even if they wont do more than 1% of the suggestion (you realize there will be literally tousands of replies) at least they publicly asked for customers oppinion. i appreciate this. is it only for image? i doubt it, as by asking they "promise" to listen and do something...
i must say i am very curious what will all the manufacturers come up with next, but most of all, i am curious about korg.
