Please do not misunderstand me, the FSX action is very very good, just the Korg is better. And it just shades the Roland g70, with the G70 being a tad "lighter" in feel.

PS: 100% agree, the ONLY way is to physically play them. If it was JUST only about orchestral voices, the Yammies win hands down smile


Hi Dennis...I have played Korg Workstations...the M3 for instance...would it have the same action as the PA2X/PA3X? If not, what Korg workstation would have a comparable action?

I can try the workstations, but the dealers will not carry Korg arrangers, so, I'd only be able to compare in that manner.

Again, "better" is your feelings on/about the touch...it is very personal. I know several players using PA2xPro and Tyros3, and they aren't brand loyal, but they feel the FSX is better for their purposes.

For instance, I love the action on the PSR-S910...some don't...yet, it works and feels perfect for me...in fact, I will have to adjust to the FSX.

I had a G-70 here for about 2 weeks, and I didn't like the action as much as the FSX in the Tyros2, but, that may have been influenced by the latter's SA voices and how well the FSX worked with them...the G-70 was no slouch, mind you (Fran and Diki think it has the best keybed, bar none) and I liked how the piano sound/keyboard connection felt, but for the other sounds like Sax, Guitar etc, especially SA, the FSX seemed to be more appropriate

Certainly, Lee should play both before making a decision...I know I would.

Ian
