Hello Blazer,

Thanks for the URL !
I took a quick 'look' at the examples :

I like the Organ-sound and drums.

The quality of the brass-instruments (bugle & brass) is poor.... they sound like the 'old U110/sound canvas brass'

The musician uses the pitch-bend while playing APiano ?? The Piano is OK but it is not 'direct'. An overdosis of Stage-reverb lets it sound 'far away'.

The (synth)strings sound full and wide but I hear a strange chorus that causes MONO sound every now and then. (possibly caused by the MP3 compression ?)

The singing ladies (sampled) sound OK but they are in MONO. Only the DSP reverb adds some stereo effect.

The A-guitar solo (nylon strings) has a too loud attack what sounds unnatural.

I would like to hear other demo's that are not Gipsy, Funky or Jazzy.

It's possible the sound impression is not optimal because of the MP3 format, but please compare them with the Ketron ones on www.ketron.it (they sound much better)

I'd better stay with my SD1

Roel

Sorry, it doesn't excite me soundwise,,same old Korg repackaged again..The only thing that would have caught my attention are the harmonizer/mp3 player, type goodies....I agree with Roel's comments..

No offense, but when compared to the Tyros music clips the Pa1x Pro sounds like a toy.

Check it out and compare.
