Whether that is a wise decision or not is not for me to say and for you to find out. But having had it for over 18 months now ( though I do not play the arranger keyboard very often anymore) I can say this: Factory default stuff is pretty crappy, no surprises there. You of all people know that you have to tweak and make a keyboard your own, and besides it is not your first Korg, so you should be well versed there. In the course of time I have added a fair amount of external samples ( apart from the very good piano sample by Reuben) from Dynamix and Mister Music. Recently I also acquired the proper Musikant extension stick ( so not just the styles) which I thik is a very worthwhile addition even though it does not come that cheap. ( Thomann Music and Music Store, 199 euros). And I am contemplating of adding the V3 module later on this year. If I do I will keep you guys posted on its merits....... In short, fully "jazzed up" the PA1000 is a worthwhile contendor with the added bonus of having full internal amplification.... Enjoy ! regards John

The Broadway opener was quite a production. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40,Ketron Event X Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

john smies Senior Member Registered: 05/05/00 Posts: 1384 Loc: koudekerke, Holland.	Donny, my mistake, I thought it was a PA1000 you had purchased. Differences have been explained at length here so I am not going into those again. The Musikant extension is also available for the PA700 version and is 149 euros to the best of my knowledge. And of course even if the RAM memory is less you can still fill her up with some external samples,starting with the much acclaimed piano sample by Reuben, which no doubt you have already done.... regards, John P.S. a 2019 PA1000 home recording: https://app.box.com/s/5surotim2i6h86j52nkwux7u5n9rcau0

MusicalMemories Member Registered: 11/16/08 Posts: 636 Loc: Arbroath,Angus,Scotland	Ive been testing some Piano soundfonts on my Pa700 some of them sound quite good. With effects added on and layered with other sounds would sound good to my ears. _________________________ Gem Wk4, Solton Ms60, Technics Kn5000, Korg Pa50sd, Yamaha Psr k1, Tyros 4, Korg Pa700

John C. In short after all the years and all the models of both.... And both different.. Yamaha... Compressed CD quality sound. More suited for the home player imo Korg... More "Live" on stage sound you can hear. More suitable with more pro live performance navigational features. Edited by Dnj (07/17/19 06:09 AM)
