Those who have had both, what are your thoughts? Is the 4X light years ahead, are they fairly equal, etc.

The 1000 didn't thrill me and I have these weird thoughts that the 4X might be an overblown 1000.

When I sell the 1000, I will buy another board, but still on the fence.

The 3X 76 is so hard to beat.

Any thoughts appreciated

Zuki after you get the Pa4x the 3x will be a thing of the past......you will never look back
yes it's that much better the the Pa3x in so many ways..sound, style, editing, display, navigation,KAOSS, play ability,
dive in, dig deep, make it your own, and create music like you never have before,.....hurry!

Zuki’s,

Perhaps a dumb question...

Any chance you could find a 4X to play?

Just curious on why you gave up on it? Too much board for your needs, etc?

Zuki I had two Pa4x units, ......best arranger kb I have ever played..
it's ALL PRO for gigging... keys Needs did change, I reassessed my priorities, and restructured my rig for what I am doing now. That's not to say down the road I won't have to do it again.;) But for now I am happy. I would recommend the KORG Pa4x to anybody who is serious about their music,....they really addressed the NEEDS of the Pro player this time. Good luck to you.

PA4X is a HUGE improvement over the 3X. New sound engine, many new sounds, every style improved...MUCH more. You won't regret it. I've hand mine for about two years and still learning things.

Actually the ea-7 is a budget pa4x, it really is, if it wasn’t for the low end keybed, i would own one...

Jim,

I may have posted this in another section of SZ. I had no interest in a Pa4x because I had a 3x and was very satisfied with it. A year later after all the discussion here, I went to Frankieve’s store to demo that bad boy. The only mistake I made was I left without taking one home that same day and had to make another 200 mile round trip to pick up my 4x-76. You’re gonna love it!
