The new guitars alone are worth the price!

Hi Zuki,
Currently I still have both, though, I will be selling my pa3x shortly, we’re planning on downsizing homes, so need to sell a keyboard or two.

Even though I’m only a hobbyist, I feel Pa4x has more to offer. Sound quality is better. Direct play is extremely handy. Being able to just copy and paste styles is great, makes organising styles so much easier.

You really should try and get your hands on one, to appreciate the difference.

Thanks Don - I'm working on it. Trying to unload the 1000 is not an easy task

Hi Zuki, what didn’t you like about the 1000?
And yes , more than happy to send you my style database.
I was keen on getting a Pa4x, Don managed to reinforce the fact I needed one. Haha
Great keyboard,

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


I don't know if you are aware of it but you have the PA4x sound with the PA1000 just not the extra features like more fills, EC5 connections etc;

I had a Tyros 2 and a PSR-S910.... but used the Motif ES to sequence full arrangements from scratch.

Then I went through a few for a gigging option to playback files while giving me good sounds to play along.

Roland BK-9
Korg Pa900
Yamaha PSR-970
Korg Pa4X

By far, the Pa4X sounds the best (to me) all around. The Maxx Audio stuff... better outputs... keybed feel... overall construction of the “Made In Italy” instrument... and the sounds are great!!

I love the Pa4X but I will have something else in my near future!! I wish I could keep both... best of both worlds but I need to sell things to get things... room and budget are factors. Good luck with your choice!!
