Like some others, I’m waiting delivery on the Pa 1000. Never owned or played a Korg. A shot in the dark----buying sight unseen. Anxious to see how it stacks up to my S970. As a middle of the line arranger, wonder if it represents Korg catching up to the S970, or possibly surpassing it? If it’s the latter, maybe the successor to the S970 will mean another leap forward for MOTL arrangers.
