If anybody used or uses both these keyboards, can you comment on size?

The tyros 4 is way too bulky and heavy to gig with. I have a pro flight case with wheels and its just way to big and heavy. Not practical.

in contrast:

Is the Korg pa3x alot smaller and possibly fit in a lighter case? (with wheels)?

I'd love to hear about it

Shim,

Not certain about the weight but the Pa3x must be the smallest footprint professional KBA on the market, very narrow, you can carry it under one arm, not for long mind you, the T4 unless your a big boy, you will struggle under one arm and the Audya it needs two to carry it, " TRUSS ME" rotf2

The Audya has got to be the heaviest KB ever produced, IMO, perhaps the Roland G70 next, all this data is on the internet somewhere, Shim.

Hi Tony

My Lionstracs Mediastation takes the heavy honors! I have the Audya 76 as well. My Mediastation is the 76 key version a tank!
My Kronos 61 feels like a toy compared to my arrangers.

David,

Forgot about the MS, I was going to buy one a long time back and yes you are right it full to the brim with kit, how is it, do you play it much, the people who have them don't give any feedback. Hell they must be expensive now, I think they are only made in small numbers, they look the part, but??? You have some kit with those three, what do you think of the Kronos I still keep looking at it. You have at least two of the best KB. Do you live new DNJ?

Tony

Tyros 4 weighs 32 lbs

PA3X 61 weighs 32.4 lbs

PA3X 76 weighs 38.58 lbs

The weight thing is no real reason to not buy a Tyros 4.

As for a lightweight ATA case with wheels here's one that is proving to be popular at 20 lbs!

Shim,


Because I didn't want to buy another case for the T4 I'm using a Guardian 76 key case for it. It's a little too big when you come right down to it, but I like the Guardian case, its weight and construction. Now with a Pa3x I can use my 61 key Guardian for the Pa3x. Comparing the T4 to the Pa3x size wise, it makes the Pa3x look like a mini arranger.

Shim,
I gig daily, often multiple times a day with my Tyros 4. I don't fly on planes with it. But, it fits nicely in my car and is easy handle. I use a Rock-N-Roll Cart for all my equipment and it is a one trip in and out event.
I doubt you are going to find any of the TOTL arranger any lighter or at least enough so to make a real difference.

The PA3x seems much easier to handle than the T4 to me. It fits in a conventional sized bag. The Roland E80 was by FAR the heaviest arranger I've ever had. I would still have it if it weighted under 40 pounds. I think it was 54! PSR9000 wasn't far behind.
