I guess to me the SOUND is the most important thing.

When I listen to the performances on T3/T4 I seem to just feel I am listening more to a orchestra performace than the stuff I here on the Korg.
Maybe it's because most of the songs you hear on the Korg is Mid-Eastern? Or is it because the Korg is for a more 'modern' sound, more hip-hop, techno, dance etc??

At any rate, I will take plenty of time to hear the PA3 and the T4 before I would decide to do aything. Mean while I will sell my PA2 and use my MIDI kbd with PC to play using Live-styler.

I do have another question...why is most of the music I love to hear on you-tube etc done on Yamaha not Korg?

Because there are more people who play that style of music that own a Yamaha??

I dunno m8....What style of music do you like to listen to?

For me the Yammies are too busy in the style department. The EP's are awful (and I see they still have that ghastly Galaxy EP!!!), and the main acoustic is not much better.

Of course all of these on the Motif are superb!!!!

On my Korg I tweak the styles I use to remove all but the bass and drums, and perhaps one guitar, or a brass part IF (and only if) it has a hook that is vital to the song I am playing.

I am trying to achieve the same sort of balance and sound I had in my four and three piece bands...Plus audiences get more of "the player" and less of the machine.

I also play both with both hands generating chords in full piano mode using the Expert setting.

And the Songbook is in a league ALL it's own...I know people fuss over the Yamaha MF, and registrations, but imagine those two in ONE package...that is what the songbook is all about. And it saves everything, and I mean EVERYTHING you have set up to play a song!!

I don't know if that gives you any more insights, but it's a few more reasons why I prefer the Korg to the Yammie.
