It looks more like a witch hunt to me. All these negative things about the PA3x. First the videos where too bad now the demos are too good. I have take a look in the manual of Korg and there are lots of new sounds. Yes there are also legacy sounds in the PA3X to keep it compatible with the previous models. Say they had only put new sounds in it then people started to nag about that it isn't compatible with their previous PA.

Nothing about the new PA3X seems to be right to some people.
I decided to buy my PA500 after hearing the demos on korgpa.com and I can assure you that the PA500 really sound as good as the demos and I am sure that the PA3x also sound as good if not better as the demo's. The question is only can you play that good.

Ian, you don't play Korg's much yourself, either. Yet you are PERFECTLY willing to say there's not enough of a noticeable improvement. All I'm doing is the same...

I'm pretty sure there's enough of a noticeable difference for Korg users to have them want to move, especially those with a PA1x or PA80. As quite a few have said, the difference between the T3 and T4 may not be enough for many to want the expense of the move, either. And that's from people who HAVE a Yamaha, not people unfamiliar with them.

Like yourself and Korg, for instance...

It's funny that people take these reviews serious. I see no name who wrote this review. I myself own review sites and people pay good money if you write a good review about their product or bad reviews about their competitors.

No you're not.

You are not even half qualified...you have played neither one.

Ian

I wouldn't take any one review as Gospel Truth, Frans. I'm sure there will be more posted in the near future, once the Korg gets out to more players.

Lee does have experience with both Korg and Yamaha, and, he has never been known to be biased before, but, again, it is one person's opinion.

Let's see what the future brings.

Are you going to get a PA3Xpro? Will you keep your PA-500 if you do?

Ian

That review doesn't make sense. He compare the Korg with a Yamaha and we all know how different they sound. Also rating 6/10 is a joke not to mention what he said about the drums are too real.

That site has only a few reviews not even reviews of the previous PA models. The site do have alot of articles about the Tyros 4 so I don't think the site is unbiased.

Yes Ian as soon the PA3x hits the store I will get one. No I will sell my PA-500 no need for keeping him.

I already sold my GW8.

What PA3X are you getting? The 61 or the 76?

Ian

The 61

Hey Fran, why did you sell the GW-8?
I don't think the PA3x has any new synth sounds over the PA2X.

Yes the PA3X do Nick. Haven't you read the Pa3X Advanced Edit Manual yet. There you can see the new Factory sounds,the legacy sounds and the gm2/xg sounds at chapter: "Sounds (Program Change order)"

Besides later this year I gonna buy the BK 7m as addon to my PA3x
