There hasn’t been a Korg level incident of neglect at ANY other major. There are always little bugs and they tend to get squashed promptly. Anywhere else major you’ve heard of this level of incompetence and seemingly deliberate disregard for making it right?

The PA5X reminds me of Roland’s exit from the upper end arranger market. Completely unannounced. Main thing was, the BK9 and EA7 were relatively bug free and still got a couple of fixes within a few months of launch.

Since the PA5X Korg haven’t released another arranger. That’s THREE YEARS without a single model. No successor to the PA1000 for EIGHT YEARS. If this isn’t Korg quitting the arranger market and not telling anyone (like Roland did) I don’t know what is…
