Hi everyone, I am a new registrant and am seeking opinions or knowledge on the Korg PA1XPro that I just purchased. I guess the first thing I noticed was the touch difference of the so-called semi-weighted keys. They appear to be touch sensitive and not weighted at all. I also have the Roland KF-90 Arranger(88-key weighted), so there is a noticible difference. Second I thought I read before I purchased that you could download data from your PC (midi-files) to the Pro. According to the manual you can transfer data from the Pro to the PC but nowhere can I find you can do visa-versa.
I have not got to the built-in vocal effects unit of the Pro, but I have been using the Digitech vocalist controlled by my KF-90. It's a little difference concept with the Digitech vocalist in that you plug your mic into it and then from the vocalist to the mixer. I use an on and off switch to turn on the vocalist when I use it and play the chords on my left hand using the KF-90 as a controller. I'm sure this new purchase will be an adventure, since I'm somewhat electronically challenged and the manual is 354 pages long. I have the Pro on a 30-day trial basis, so if I can't handle it I can return it. But since I offered my KF-90 to my daughter, I'd like to make the Pro work. Any constructive guidance would really be appreciated. Thanks.
NEW! I wanted everyone to know that I received a lot of valuable information from Jan in the Netherlands. He was able to help me get my Korg PAX1Pro up and running.
For everyones knowledge if you buy a Korg instrument do not expect assistance from the Korg Product support folks, they are not custmer oriented. Take care all. Chuck Muston
