But I see the Korg, especially PA2X more of a studio arranger, than a gigging arranger, not that it can’t be used as one. I know many people use them and before everyone jumps down my neck. I find with all those great Korg sounds (and they are great), Korg does not do enough to produce better quality styles. This all subjectable and based on different tastes, Yamaha has really improved with the mega voices and the guitars really bring a nice touch to their styles. Ketron (pre-audya)!! Drums and bass are in your face and styles just come alive like a band (remember pre-audya) Audya is a whole other discussion. Roland…(hasn’t released anything new to compare too) plus I’m bias ( I hated my g1000).


Those are all totally fair comments and something I respect. We are all individuals with certain needs and tastes as you said. The story with the Audya is a different matter and has nothing to do with sounds or styles. It's purely about what Ketron has done if you ask me.

I wish Korg with all these great sounds would only produce better styles. Just my thoughts….
PS I'm not trying to start a mine is better than yours but as James opinion of Ketron and the audya (which I respect) is his.


I totally understand and even the purpose of this thread is not a mine is better than yours story either. It's simple meant to be a demonstration of just how advanced their sound engine is.

When you say you want better styles, what do you mean exactly though because the only difference I really see between Korg styles and other makes of keyboards is that the KORG styles tent to run much longer before they loop back to measure 1, where Yamaha styles for example are usually always in around 4 measures long.

Is it not better to have a style that runs more like a performance than a loop ?. Or are we talking about something entirely different ?
