Ha Ha. I’m really surprised that some players would not want a better sounding piano if they could have it anyway, without giving anything up in their arranger. I never said that the piano sound is the only reason I would buy an arranger. Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. I like some things I’m reading and hearing about the Pa4x from Korg’s description and videos and if the arranger comes with a better piano at no expense, then it seems to me like a no-lose, win situation. I was just getting excited (based on rosetree’s comment about a better Grand Piano in the Pa4x), that an excellent current arranger might actually be getting an improved piano. Yes, the majority of my leads are piano, but I would hate to play a jazz or pop piece on an arranger (with a jazz or pop style backing) and have the lead piano in the arranger sound sub-par. Thank you rosetree for describing some of your Korg piano sound experience. What you say makes sense, and I agree that a better piano without overconsumption of waveROM is a good thing in an arranger. From the limited info I see so far from Korg’s materials, It sounds like the Pa4x will be able to accomplish that. Fran, I think you interpreted what I said the way I meant it. Bottom line, if Korg says, I can have it all, great arranger features and styles, continued nice selection of voices, good allocation of memory resources, plus a wonderful sounding Grand Piano, I’ll be very interested.
