To me, this also speaks about the long-term strategies. While most of the manufacturers will want everyone, including their own customers, to fully upgrade to a new model each time it releases, Korg seems to be after new clients, hence offering OS updates for existing instruments (and existing customers) for free. People are this way motivated to get a Pa4x. Existing owners are simply rewarded by being already Pa4x users.  I like this strategy. Problem is they only apply it to their top instrument, I dont think it will be the same for Pa1000. Now if they only fixed those glitchy fills...

Very cool! Korg always has something up their sleeve, doesn’t look like a Pa5x is necessary.
I don’t think we’ll get any update like this on Genos, you’ll have to buy Genos2.
I will not say that I agree or disagree with your opinion. I will put a few questions to the table though. 1) Why would Korg announce an update/upgrade a whole month before release.This is something that they have never done before.(not even in the 2.0 upgrade) 2) For what reason might they want to upgrade the RAM so drastically specifically with Streaming on the 4th year of the release of the Pa4x, when we're on the brink of a new replacement model... 3) Why would they do it when the Pa4x has so much potential(Streaming 3 Giga Compressed Ram),why would they not unleash it on release???Wouldn't it be more competitive on the market?? 4) Maybe Korg has caught wing of a major upgrade coming from another company( maybe Yamaha) and is trying to compete with a counter upgrade?... History tells us.. Next week comes NAAM 2019 ... What I have to say for sure is that this move from Korg is not incidental. So let us wait ...

Watching what comes out of NAAM 2019 should be fun.

Genos 2....comes to mind? Genos2,?? I do not think so.It is really early. An upgrade is very likely though.
