Busy Korg styles/ fills/ endings are not new. It impresss you first, but once you start playing western (4/4 , 3/4), meaning English / american songs which need more simple 8 beat / 16 beat with simple bass and fills, Korg’s busy acc start to show limits. ....Korg I 30 starts to show style limitations which arguably continued to Pa80.

Most Korg arranger buyers remorse mostly is never the sounds/ functionality/ editing/ sequencer/ punchiness or live sound.It’s always lack of style support. Realization comes after being forced to mute ACc tracks and/ or forced to use less fills because the styles ( including the bass lines) are overplayed.



Unfortunately unless Korg wakes up and put more simple and abundant 8 beats drum/ bass lines/fills , their arranger sales will suffer in western world.

Remember, most western( English ) songs that are played by arrangers are simple 8 beats ,4/4 styles that require realistic acoustic guitar strums or simple piano chording/ comps that stays within the measure / more generic simpler bass lines which are not in your face yet in the pocket, It means one simple style will fit multiple songs without having to rewrite bass lines or mute parts to barely fit the song ( like most Korg styles)Yamaha is killing it in that department and selling well in this area since they got it right for simple styles
