Hi Dennis,
You are probably right that Korg should have though more about the decision to show the product. My guess is there were a number of Korg folks who would have chosen to not have the PA3X out in the open and maybe only allow key dealers to view it in a hidden corner. You've got to feel for Malcom though. He surely had little time to look over the new instrument before the show started. As for the PA3X being ruined for life... come on. I say we grab a couple pints and wait for the PA3X to hit the stores.

There was a time when NAMM featured a consumer day. That was cool because the dealers knew to get there work done prior to that day and the manufacturers knew not to expect much business and leaned the product demos toward the consumer. I thought that worked out well because it did allow the public to get a preview of things to come and to ask questions pertaining to their own interests. It's a shame they don't go back to that idea.
Dave I didn't say "ruined for for life" at all. I did'nt even use those words. Please if you are going to paraphrase, do so accurately or not at all hey?
And you know perfectly well my comments had nothing like that intent, and further, you even hinted at it being an over-reaction by suggesting I have a beer (or pints?? - we don't have them in Oz,)??
Please, if you want to maliciously misquote someone, make it someone else!
That said, yes I agree, I do feel for the demo guy, although it's not like Korg popped this out of the oven two days before NAMM is it?? The guy should have perhaps made a better effort at at least, coming to grips with it's basics.
I also agree that a public, or consumer as you put it, day on the last would be a great idea. It might even generate some tourism for California...I know I would save my $'s to make the trip!!
Dennis
