I have owned Techinics keyboards in the past and loved them. I purchased a Pa3x and in my opinion I felt the Kn was better suited for sequencing. All that said, Technics no longer makes Keyboards. I had troubles with the with the 3x and I swore that I would never buy another Korg. The 3x was the closest I could get to the Technics. I AM NOW EATING CROW AS I JUST PURCHASED A PA4X and looking forward to playing it. I wanted to post this because of the negative things I have said in the past about Korg. I will now being asking questions about the 4x and did not want the members of this forum thinking I am fickle. I also studied the specs on the Genos but I think Korg is better suited for my needs.
