There’s a lot I really like about the PA5x, particularly the ability to run two styles at the same time, but there’s still a ton of stuff to completely integrate the feature into the Songbook still left to do.
We’re getting to it being out what, almost two years now since launch, and the bug list and missing features list is still extensive, and Korg have gone basically dark, no communication, no progress reports and only a couple of updates.
For a TOTL product, that’s not good enough, IMHO. TWO YEARS…
I know a couple of PA4x users that haven’t pulled the trigger on upgrading because of the missing features and unfinished bug fixing but there’s pretty much universal agreement about the considerable improvement in overall sound. These are guys that had no qualms going from PA3x to PA4x. I know Covid threw the world for a loop, but releasing the PA5x so half finished hasn’t done Korg’s reputation any good.
Seems to me most of the people ecstatic about their PA5x are people that didn’t previously own a PA4x…
