Could be legit, Bill, someone on another forum said he heard the new PA3XPRO will be available for sale in January / February 2011.

He also said it might be possible Korg will renew the complete PA series.

This guy posted about the Tyros4 quite some time before it was introduced, saying it would be here in September, so I don't think he's to be dismissed lightly.

Maybe it's a Middle Eastern variant on the PA3Xpro? I can't think what that keyboard button set in the LH upper end is for, other than that (picking alternate tunings in base keys).

I LOVE the return of the pitch strip (from the Triton). You ain't LIVED until you got one of those down cold! And an extra button for the DNC stuff, probably.

I don't THINK I can see more fill buttons, though... that will be sad if true.

Guess they decided that a motorized screen was too much of a gimmick!

I'll go with fake on this one.

It looks like a Pa2X with things just moved around in photo shop. Look at the location of the memory stick and the length of the faders for example.

Well that's that, James.

However, this guy who told me about the PA3XPro coming out in 2011 January/February knew about the Tyros4 before I did, and I work for the company.

He's got an inside source, from what he says.

He also predicted the S910 and it's release date, although I had already known about that one.

If he's guessing, he's guessed two things dead on.

Seems quite probable Korg will introduce a PA3XPro...they sort of have to in a way.

I'd be happy with this beside a M3.

Why? I thought it was settled that there is no market for a TOTL 76?

Yes, you're probably right...they shouldn't make one.

Some companys actually do give the customers what they want without silly internal limitations.
They will sell plenty of them.

Re: Is This Real - 09/29/10 09:05 PM

Fake, all the way... just exactly who is MidiPart.GR? Seems like a Greek arranger forum...

Author of the fake, I'd say. For starters, NO Korg other than one specifically for the Middle Eastern and
Indian markets is ever going to bother to put all those scale setting and key buttons at the top LH.

And Karma without all the knobs and sliders needed to control it (notice how short throw those faders
were, BTW?)..? Not gonna happen..!

Fake all the way (and poor layout to boot)

I think they're part of the joke. Remember that little layout of similar buttons on what used to be called 'chord organs'? Hardly TOTL territory.

This same Korg pic was posted in this room about 6 months ago. I remember the poster said he "redesigned" the original Korg in his CAD (?) program. I still have the 1st photo on my hard drive.
