arrangers a re not dead yet.... Ron

Interesting as I was expecting a pa4x. Look forward to more demos and reviews.

Well, apparently KORG doesn't think so ...

Very nice indeed. I wonder if it was meant as a BK-9 competitor?

Of course, that will depend on the price.

In Romania, the price was made public on the website of Korg's distributor: 11.000 lei, which is about 2.450 euro.
Roland BK-9 is 8.200 lei, which is about 1.850 euro.

A big difference.

I think Pa3xLe is overpriced, in comparison with Pa900.

Korg actually consists out of 2 parts... The synth department and the arranger department... They are two totally different things.... And offcourse the arranger part still be.ieves in the arranger, they have come to the conlusion that they also needed a cheeper model with 76 keys..

Even if it is higher priced than the BK-9 ans also quite a lot heavier (>13kilograms), I think it will further decrease the BK-9 sales,which must have been very low anyway, but may also be a competition to Tyros or S950.

I agree it's overpriced. A difference of 600 euro over the PA900 to add 15 keys and drop the speakers makes no sense. It's probably too much of a difference for me to go for it over the PA900 or the S950. Then again, in the US the Motif XF7 is priced $700 above the Motif XF6 for just the extra keys, so the pricing difference is kind of in line with what we've seen in the workstation world, even if it defies logic.
