Here is a good question.
What would a PA500 in good condition be worth today?

I'm still not over the Korg's lack of fills. Yes, now you have four... nice. The Roland's have had six for eight years. I wonder how many we'll have by the time Korg get around to six?


Roland BK9 miss the pads also and alot of other stuff I use.

Roland Break/Fill... Hit Break, then hit fill when you want it (not when it's pre-programmed).

Took a look at the page on Korg's site, but I have a hard time comparing things...
Is there any list of how this compares to the PA3X?
It seems like for a while, anyone who wanted 76 keys got the PA#X (PA1X or PA2X), and anyone who wanted 61 keys got the PA800 (not sure if there was a PA1X equivalent).
Now though, the PA3X has a 61 key version, and a lot of the musicians that I know who had PA800s upgraded to the PA3X 61 key version when it came out.
Now that the PA900 was announced, where is it going to sit in the lineup?
Is there any real reason for someone to buy a PA3X now, as opposed to a PA900?

Better keys/hardware/made in italy/more controllers like ribbon/XLR in with phantom power more simu VH efx/more simu EFX blocks/detachable speaker for morte pro look for some/yes less screen size/digital out/mores sounds ( SV1/ambient drums) and mastering EFX ( Waves)/4 outs/more performance memories/HD option/TC helicon 2 vs 1 ( assuming)
real time sliders/EC 5 in


900 is more or less Pa 600 built quality with added features.It has bigger screen size and Video out( an option in 3x)
. Finally Korg is following Yamaha approach with a few added features ( like after touch and better VH) and priced the same as PSr S950.
I'm glad that Korg still have PA 3x 61 version.


Good Job Korg.Now go ahead and have a team to beat SA RH sounds and add new 4/4 US/Uk styles.( but less funk and Hihop)

Except for the harmonizer, and the larger screen, I am not sure the Pa900 is worth the price of an upgrade from my Pa600 ...

I think it has the same screen as 600. Larger than 3x.

From pa600, I agree. Don't think it is really worth an upgrade. But for me, it's basically like having a pa3x WITH speakers, and lighter. And costing MUCH less.

I would think it's a better alternative to the pa3x, then the pa600.
