listen to the Kronos demos and you wil hear god quality samples even from hand held cameras . I dont hink we can excuse the PA3X for poor sounding demos even with hand held cameras. Anyway i have said too much already. The instrument has only just been introduced and the keyboard is much deeper than its sounds. The value of the instrument is greater than the sum of its parts which is why i got the original PA1X. Certainly there is scope for better production on the PA3X and for sculpting the sound the way you want but out of the box the nod has to go to yamaha.
