Lee dont torture yourself anymore and just get the T4 and be done with it. The styles and the sounds in terms of quality and programming are head and shoulders above the competition. If you are not going to utilise the additional features the PA3X has then why pay for them ?

It is true that Korg seem to have little interest in its PA products or they would not be committing the kind of product suicide we are seeing with pretty much every demo from them.

Its not that the PA product is poor , its just that the competition (yamaha) in terms of sound alone is that much better. If i were making a first time pro arranger purchase the Korg would still be close to or at the top of the list of products i would buy taking everything into account , features, playability, sounds, styles prgramming and editing. But i would know that i would have to compromise on the sound. But i already own the PA1X and nothing i have heard so far from the Korg demos has convinced me that upgradeing is value for money. Most of the sounds i already have, most of the features i already have, and the 'new' sounds and new features have not enticed me in the least. If yamaha produced a korg like product they would clean up the arranger market but no doubt at the expense of cannabalising their workstation market .

Thats not going to happen anytime soon. If it aint broke dont fix it i guess.
