That has to be the best demo of a keyboard I have heard.

Thanks Col, John

I must say that I´m impressed how an 8+ years old keyboard sounds so good. This convinces me that the new PA600 (with almost the same sounds, some new sounds, and a few more features, not vocal processor) for a quarter of the original PA1Xpro was, is a very good deal!!!

Oh, and as somebody says here: "is not the keyboard, is the keyboardist" totally true!!

Thanks Col.
Jo

What an exceptionally well done presentation.

I can see why Spalding has held on to his PA1X...no wonder, it is an awesome keyboard.

Notice the presenter managed to play tunes that weren't copyrighted as his examples...I notice Yamaha presenter, Martin Harris, does the same.

One would wonder if a really nice second hand example of the PA1X/PA1XPro would be a better deal than a PA-600...probably the former would have a more robust and better feeling keyboard action, as well as the PA1XPro having the 76-note range.

Ian

PS...Speaking of Spalding...where the heck is he? He hasn't posted here in quite some time.

PA1x is only 62 note polyphony. PA600 is a much better deal.

Also, PA1X has two variations, limited fills. Sure sounds good though, doesn't it.
Love my PA3X!

You are probably right...also the PA-600 has DNC2, which should give it an edge sound-wise. Nevertheless, the PA1X is still a great sounding keyboard. I think it sounds better the the MicroArranger, and PA-50D.

On the PA-600, are you are able to use DNC2 sounds in the styles, as in when you revoice them?
