First point

Pa3x styles will load, several of the new Pa3x styles are loaded but the missing ones can be loaded.

It feels good up to now, thepiano is very nice.

I was just about to order a Yamaha when feedback indicated the viewing screen may not be easy to read in a seated position. I thought the new Pa600 looked and sounded good from the specs and the few demos out there.

Soooo, I'm very interested in anything you have to say!!

Hmmm, a few points to consider -
no vocal mic input;

no harmoniser;

no EC-5 pedal option (which is VITAL, in my view for smooth CS operation);

unbalanced outputs and inputs (could lead to noise issues when used with a P.A. system);

None of the great E.P.s, and only a couple of the basses and guitars from the PA3 (I am thinking this could be a greatly cut down ROM, and may even have sample artefacts and audible loop-points due to the small size);

No MAXX;

Not known for sure yet, but I also suspect it has the dodgy "plastic hinging" from the M50 and Krome keybeds. IE no springs or weights, but merely a folded plastic hinge to give the return...

Hi George

I think yours was in the showroom boxed up ready to go.

Hi the rest of you gents

I'll do my best to answer as much as Ican but at the moment I an still finding a few set up items. I owned the Pa800 and the Pa2x previously and there are some differences I found up to now.

The first thing I noticed is the lack of buttons, so much more is achieved using the touch screen.

The fills work in a similar manner to the tyros if the auto fill is ON reselecting the current variation triggers the corresponding fill if the next variation is selected the corresponding fill is triggered, simpler than the previous models with no dedicated fill buttons but easier to use.

The screen is vast improvement from the pa2x it is very clear and responds very quickly.

I am using an external harminizer and in previous models the master volume did not effect the line inputs the Pa600 does and once again a small change but a big improvement for live use.

The master EQ seems to be very comprehensive with a set of presets for different styles of music. There is also a separate limiter once again with a set of presets. The EQ and limiter seem to bear a strong resemblence to the pa3x Waves Maxx screen.

I have loaded a few of the Pa3x styles in and up to now they work well, no probs as yet. (A real bonus)

I'm wading my way through as much as I can (Thankfully I am familiar with the way the Korg Keyboards function) I only refered to the manual a couple of times (up to now)

I will post more info as I go along. Bye for now wave

Kind Regards

Col
