ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	Originally Posted By: Dnj Reliable Sources tell us the KMA is totally reworked and tweaked compared to the PA 50SD... It still sounds like a PA-50SD, even with your excellent demos (better than anything by the factory, in my opinion), but, if it is a sound you like, it's gonna work for you. Look at Fran with that ancient old G-70...it's still a beautiful sounding arranger. I think the best bet is to use John Smies's enhancements to get the most out of a KMA...they are a bargain. Did you use them, Donny? Ian _________________________ Yamaha Tyros4, Yamaha MS-60S Powered Monitors(2), Yamaha CS-01, Yamaha TQ-5, Yamaha PSR-S775.

Did you use them, Donny? Ian Yes I have used them...when I had the KMA....honestly I wasn't impressed for whatever reasons my personal opinion only... Has anyone else posted an A/B comparison DEMO using the KMA to these resources...I would like to listen to the exact differences "with and without" them sound & style wise ?.... I found that tweaking the KMA myself was more suited for my style of playing. Edited by Dnj (01/30/12 12:22 PM)

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	I think I'll get a KMA just so I can check out John's resources! I wish he would get a PA3X and do all that work for it! DonM _________________________ DonM

Ahhh...Fran still has his KMA...so you actually got the resources from John Smies, Donny. You could do an excellent comparison recording, and let people judge for themselves...plus, you are unbiased.

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	I thought Fran sold it. But I also thought DNJ sold his, then he didn't, then he did. Tune in tomorrow for the next chapter of "As The Plot Sickens". DonM _________________________ DonM

I gotta agree, and suggest John Smiles do exactly that. It would give us all the opportunity to both hear and compare the difference for ourselves before committing, as right now, I think factory presets sound pretty decent (as DNJ showcased in his demo), with only a few minor tweaks needed. A side by side (factory vs John's tweaked) 'comparison demo' by John would quickly convince me to buy them or not. What do you say John?

Best idea I heard so far today, Scott...I've been wanting to hear the sonic differences myself, and this would give a great opportunity for John to get people listening to his hard work on the Korg arrangers. Or maybe Donny could use Fran's KMA and do an A/B comparison for himself, and other SZ'ers who would be interested?
