The Yamaha concert and nylon guitars..much fuller than treble sounding Korg. Anyone able to modify similar Korg sounds to more resemble that of Yamaha? Or ever tried?

Just finished playing my first hours and I must say it was very very enjoyable. I don't miss my s970 and I guess I'm over tuts feeling I had with the older korg Pa1x. This is an entirely new animal. Connected my mic Nd sang away. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Also tweaked some of the instruments to my taste. Will have a music filled weekend for sure.

I tweaked the concert grand on the pa 1000 to suit my taste. Easy peasy

Now this is a life saver> thanks a lot for this link. Its been a while since I was on the Korg side of things but it feels wonderfully fresh to explore the KORG PA1000. Something I never felt upgrading from the PSR S950 to the 970 and was about to go for the 975 but it just felt foolish. Theres a ton of things to do on this keyboard now and im enjoying the way it sounds. By the way it looks fab too what with the nice and different Maroon tone

don't forget to play with the eq and compressor settings. they will make that 1000 roar. I like the latin setting and also the rock setting. They are both great. Have fun.

I do remember! Great to hear from you!

I miss the sustain button from the s970 and don't use a pedal. Is there any way to assign sustain for the piano on the assignable switch on the pa1000?

Yes, there is. Just go to Global, Controllers, Assignable Switch and select it. No need to save, as it will remember it.

Thanks a lot Don. Will do that. I'm enjoying the pa1000 more and more as I keep playing it. The sounds are richer and fuller. Not that the s970 was a slouch but after about 10 years with Yamaha this is a refreshing change.
