My first PA1XPro song (want some watermelon?)

Hello,

I've recently got a PA1XPro and fiddled around with the sequencer. Here's the result:

Btw: it's a GREAT instrument...

Hi icyjamie,

This sounds very good : Goed gedaan !
I cannot resist asking why you did not record it in stereo.... the MP3 is Stereo, but it is mono information. Perhaps you can replace this file and put the stereo version ?

I must admit the tonewheel-organ sounds pretty good.

Perhaps, some day, depending on the support of Ketron..... I will change to Korg.

Nice job.

What other instument- arrangers have you had?

Jerry

Stereo... er.... oh... damn... I will try to fix it... Seems like the panning was not as hard left and right as it should have been on my mixer (amongst other things).

The arrangers I had? A Roland E-20, E-30, G-800, then switched to pure synths, got fed up with them after 7 years and finally turned to PA1XPro.

Very nice. Herbie would be proud !

Dang it...a real organ player...nice job...just curious, have you played the VR-760,,a must for a real organ player,...super fast response and waterfall keys..

I have a question.
What exactly is referred to by "waterfall keys"?
Thank you

The front of the keys drop down, like a full piano style key. Synth keys tend to be very thin, and the "diving board" shape creates a boucy feel to them. Waterfall keys seem to have a more solid, smooth feel under the fingers. It's subtle but very important doing wipes and such.

No I did not, but I watched a demo of it. I just saved half a year, selling 2 synths, to get a PA1XPRO, so I won't get me yet another board. The 760 sounds to me like the bandmember's best friend...

The Korg is everything the 760 is and MUCH more. You've got real drawbars, great sounds (and rhythms) and 2 sequencers to boot ! You're not missing anything with the PA1x.

Yikes Dave, did you sell him the PA1??
There is know comparison for organ functions and organ sounds[with real drawbars]...The 760 is waaayyy better,in the organ feel and play department...See ya in the morning..

BTW,there is no big need for 2 sequencers on a Roland ..They play either format imediately..The reason Korg uses 2 sequencers,,,because it takes forever to convert the format and load,,,then play...So no it is not a selling feature , just Korg,s way of trying to catch up to Yamaha and Roland, and maybe even Ketron..

Just stop. You're out of your juristiction here. It's a Korg topic, and BTW - the drawbars on the PA are awesome ..... you know that.
Washington Crossing Inn is flooded out and evacuated - I'm off tonight. Sigh .......

Can't we speed up breakfast? I'm hungry now.

icyjamie,

Nice organ playing. Terrific groove (style) and feel with that classic awesome Korg sound. I'm definitely gonna have to check out the PA1 now. Thanks for sharing. - Scott

Just listened to both songs... great job! I especially like your work on Watermelon. It inspires me to go back to playing more jazz organ again. Thanks for sharing.
