There is a new Hammond (one version has 2-manuals)...the SK1/SK2...definitely a Nord C1 competitor.

I just listened to this (both demos) 3 times with my beyerdynamic DT 770MR phones.With the exception of a couple poorly chosen lead voices....I think the PA3 sounds superb, even without dircet audio recording on the demos.

There is much more to say...but I am still in a mode that is neutral to it.

Sweetwater just e-mailed me and said my PA3 demo unit will be in first or second week of May now.

It sure has a super live sound and IMHO rivals the Audya no sweat.
This is not IMHO, a PA2XPRO with a few tweaks...it has lots of potential. Quesion is how does it really sound live and...how good are the voices THAT I care about??

Exactly what I think Lee indeed no PA2x with a few tweaks.

Lee, I agree the PA3Xpro may not potentially be a PA2Xpro with a few tweaks, but it seems a bit difficult to tell from what has been shown/heard on-line. I've listened to demos of both, and I'm still not quite convinced, although there are some great new voices and styles, to be sure.

I suppose the only way you will know for sure is to actually spend some quality time playing a PA3Xpro, and it looks like your wish will come true in May.

That is good news indeed.

I am looking forward to your impressions of the instrument.

Ian

My Korg Rep was here at my store Friday and brought me in some PA3X brochures. The time table for PA3X delivery here in the USA is end of May or beginning of June. I also had him clarify with his office in New York that both the 61 key and 76 key models are both semi-weighted because many of my potential customers were still under the impression that the 61 is synth action and only the 76 key is semi-weighted.

Lee, could you please say at which Sweetwater location you will be demoing the PA3Xpro?

Thanks,

Ian
