very nice!

Wholly CRAP! That was super!
Finally a PRO demo from someone who is a PRO on the (TC) integrated with the Korg.

It's looking better and better! I wish we could get the settings he used!

I've heard this guy before. He really knows how to use this stuff. Thanks for the post.

Great stuff...little by little I'm seriously considering going back to a KORG Pa3x...the on-board features for live performance are looking real good for My needs. I hope I can find one to demo somewhere soon.
Thanks for the video really nice.

Yeah, it is calling my attention too. I know no store around here will ever carry one so I hope to se more on-line demonstrations and user posts. Keep 'em coming!

Does the New Pa3x use a "WALLWART" vs a straight standard Power-plug as shown in the demo or? is this just for 220v in Europe vs the USA120?......Arggggg I hate those things...

According to the manual (p 21) it's a regular power cable.

The demo pa3x using the tc helicon was great, for the vocals, not sure it did anything for the keyboard though. It still sounds much the same as the pa2x or indeed not much better, i mean really, if you love this demo buy a Voice Live 2, its a hell of a lot cheaper, and will work with any midi keyboard. Really I Have a Yammy Tyros4 killer sounds, and Audya killer just about everything, I'm surprised that Korg didn't take the bull by the horns and come up with a killer, as they have with the Kronos. I will wait until PA4x before I will reconsider, hopefully they will get the message

I really don't know what you are talking about. I have the PA3X for 2 days now and he sounds amazing and very different then the PA2xpro.
And with all the great features you get with this keyboard what more do you want. Maby one that can make coffee?

The problem I find with Korg PA's is that the midi styles seem to play the music somewhat mechanistically. Listen for example to the drums sound in the following video, especially during the fill at 0:06-0:09 sec.

Thank you Graham

Franz I'm really happy that you love the PA3X, my history with Korg in particular the 2APX when they were denying the led problems until it was overwhelming, and admitted it wasn,t good. Loved the sounds and the funtionability of the PA2X as it was then.

But what i am commenting about is that Korg have not taken a great step forward with this release, and even the official demo's sound ordinary at best, I may be wrong, and when I get the chance to play one it may be that they are ok. However, tell what the PA3x has that is new, mmmm updated TC Helicon yes, spoke about that in my previous post, black yes, good change, gives it more professional look and feel, sounds, now here it gets sticky, i can't for the life of me from the demo's I have heard say that it's a major improvement. Styles, lots of em, but once again would have been a great opp here for korg to change the story here, i think most of the styles are out of date, and a bit old hat to todays standards. Yes they did add the sounds from the retro SVi, good move no doubt.

But we are in the days of SSD drives and real loops and samples for sounds and styles, so this is where i think they are missing the boat. Nothing will please me more to come back to korg and a PA4X that offers some of the above features along with leading edge technology.

So don't get me wrong I'm happy you are happy with the PA3X, but its not gonna do it for me, as the Kronos that I have just ordered will, now thats what i'm talkin about.
