Don
Are you using the 61 or 76 ?

I am not a pianist but tend to play up on the board and drop an octave. Two hundred and a little weight difference.

You might be right, its probably where the PA4x gets deeper then the T5, where the operating becomes more advanced, The Tyros5 is a snorckling instrument, and the PA4x can do that to... but when scubadiving, the PA4x could become a little more confusing..


I also have to come back on my orriginal statement, as i missed the whole collection of instruments Bernie allready hsa, including the S970.... which makes the pa4x only the most naturall choice to make, if he wants another arranger...

Thank you Bachus

I always value your opinion.

I have the 61-note version. If I were not moving it I'd opt for the 76, but I have no problem navigating the 61. You can assign the octave up/down function to foot switch, pedal or button I believe. I will double check that tonight.
The EC5 foot controller is essential to me. I have five functions assigned to it.

I ordered the pa4x 76 with EC-5 pedal from Frank. It will arrive Thursday. Wild anticipation.
Bernie

We might have another fan in the pa4x camp.... But seriously, i am quite comvinced you will like it...

Plus one, got my Pa3x in 2012, it's the longest I've owned one arranger, I guess? Also used the Tyros and PSR series since 2007 so that may count.

Bernie, Congratulations on the Pa4x-76!

Bernie, thanks again for the order, All updated and ready for you, you will be very happy. The PA4x i believe is right between the Yamaha and Ketron sound, allows you to get as deep as one can get when programming or operating a arranger keyboard but at the same time well layed out to use without diving into a manual every few seconds

Thanks again for the purchase

Congratulations Bernie,
I cannot see any reasons at all that you should not be happy and love the PA4X, or "Black Beuty" as I call it.
The only drawback most be the "long" wait before you get you hands on it, and that the hours in a day after you finally have it are to short.

Bernie good luck with the KORG Pa4x, buying from Frank was a very smart move,.....you might sell all else after you get into it, it can probably fill all your performing needs very well..
keep us posted,....if you need help just shout.
