Hi All,

Just wanted to share my excitement. I've ordered a PA1X Pro today. Should be with me tomorrow.

Thanks to all who helped me to come to a decision and thanks Spalding for all the numbers (I ordered from one of the places you recommended).

Can't wait.

David.

Congrats!!!
You made a Very wise choice......
kep us posted on your progress & maybe share some tunes also....

make some beautiful music !

Congrats dschultze, be sure to keeep an eye on the Korg PA1X Forums in "Irish Acts" Korg PA1X & PA1X Pro Discussions

And, more recently, the thread entitled:
"News announced for Pa1x" In which a new operating system (Ver 2.6) is going to be releases (I think )

Might consider getting one myself - If the price is right (Whitley bay's prices are £1999 I believe)

Except the precious informations of the diverse interventions in this forum, what was, for you,personnally, the decisive element for the PA1X pro (sounds and styles quality, 76 keys, sampling function...) ?

Hi dschultze.

Sorry i did not get cahnce to reply on the other thread.I have been busy playing with my new Beast !!! You will not be disappointed my friend. It is awesome. I cant remeber the last time i was so excited and amazed by a keyboard. I am not getting any sleep tonight. Anyone driving in birmingham , watch out for the black fiat punto , it might drift lanes inadvertantly !!!!

Hi All,

My new toy has arrived. I can't wait to get home and get the thing unpacked.

Regarding the reasons behind my decision here's what led me to choose the Korg...

- I'm currently using a Mac and intend to use Logic Pro and the Korg appears to be geared very well for this system.

- The Korg included a hard disk as standard and therefore no additional expense was required for an upgrade.

- Korg offers a 76 key option.

- The TC Helicon harmoniser!

- Korg seem to be focussed on customer service, upgrades and add-ons more than others.

Overall my final decision was between the Korg and the Yamaha and to be honest the sound quality and playability is superb on either. It was a hard choice and I think I would be very happy with either. Eventually I think the decision was entirely based on technical merit for my personal needs.

As I said before the only real solution would be to buy both.

David.

well.....what a night!!!! went to bed at 3.00am this morning and woke up at 6.30am with that same silly grin on my face. For those of you that are into contemporary music, i really dont think that the PA1X can be beat. Simply unbelieveable.This is the board i have been searching for over the last 3 years !!!! Hallelujah

Spalding, just out of interest, have you ever tried a Korg Triton Studio, (or any modern synth), and if so, how do the actual "voices" measure up to the PA1X?


Anthony

I'm happy for you guys.
I have just ordered the Tyros2 but now want to add a Korg arranger. I am now trying to decide if should I spend "easy" and pickup the PA50 or should I go for PA80... but if I read more comments like yours... I'll just order the PA1X Pro
I know, I know... it will lead to packing my things up if wife finds out, but I want to have best of both worlds

cheers
