Deane, I have a Pa800 and it’s a Korg. I gave it three weeks on off I went to it’s first job. I did that three times and came home upset; I did not have the same problem with any of the Yamahas I owned. I wanted to sell the Pa800 but intuitively I knew the keyboard was offering something special; something I had not yet experience.

I do not want to do a lot of thinking when I am on a job – I want to play, as the saying goes, “on-the-fly”, second nature. I am also very particular about which styles I use for a song and what instruments are being with the style. The worst thing that can happen is to be playing a song and have the next selected instrument something that does not fit.

I have said all of the above to say I took the Kork after three months and left my job with one big happy smile. I was playing like I never played before; the keyboard and I were one – That is what Korg offers its owners but only after they put some dedicated time in. Give the KMA time Deane.
I am not a take-it-out-of-the box player; I am also not someone who looks for the best instrument sounds. I am a player who looks for the most realistic band sound and allows me to use the keyboard as I want.
