I'm not going to NAMM but a few more products have been talked about by my Reps today.
Roland will be showing the Discover 5 module and My Rep from Korg will be coming by my store on Wednesday with a brochure of the new arranger keyboard. I'll post all the specs when I see it tomorrow.
There has been some phone calls coming into me the past week or so if Yamaha will be coming out with a Tyros Pro 76 key version. I spoke with friends at Yamaha today and they will NOT be showing a 76 key Tyros.

Thanks George for the update. I can't wait for your Spec List on the Korg Pa1-X/Pro. I will be waiting in great anticipation. PS: Do you realize George that you will be making a first? As far as I know the "True" specs on the Pa1-X/Pro have never been posted on the Net yet. Congratulations on being the first authentic News bearer of the Pa1-X/Pro's true Spec Sheet. Interesting to say the least. Mind blowing if all the rumors are true or if the Pa1-X/Pro even exceeds them.

PS: Yamaha may change their mind about producing a 76 Key Tyros II when they hear the incredible sounds and see the overwhelming reception and acceptance of the new Korg Pa1-XPro by the buying public. If that doesn't happen then a 76 Key Tyros II would definitely be on Yamaha's back burner but if it DOES happen I think Yamaha will seriously consider producing a 76 Key Tyros II. Maybe by Winter NAMM 2005??? Maybe sooner??

Best regards,
Mike

My guess is that the PA1-X brochure will contain the same info as already available rather then absolute specification of course the info will be presented in color with great pictures of the keyboard as I think PA1-X operating system is still under production and will not be finalized till October-December well I truly hope that I am wrong and they do have complete specification by now but as I remember correctly I had to wait forever for the PA-80 to actually hit the shelf and it was not even complete by then it was missing some essential features which were added later on.

Please see my post titled Kor Pa1X information.
The price of the Discover 5 module will be $1695.00 Retail. I hope this is not too much! I think there could be a real market for this product with many guitar players that don't play keyboard but need great sounding midi file playback with a great vocal harmonizer and effects. I was hoping for under $1000.00 but I was wrong!
