PA 3X

Gonna hit the keys and prepare for more live play! Think I'm interested in one, if anyone is selling, etc.

Good news why the sudden turnaround?

Just for fun, a few times a month at this time. Taking my time to develop material - no rush. I need to get my hands on a 3X!!!

Suki,
Shimm is sellin his.
Dene

I probably am also, ONLY because I'm mad at Korg.
DonM

That's not a good thing, Don, as I know you really liked (actually, loved!) the PA3X, and, it is one of the best TOTL arrangers available today.

Did Korg ever sort out that joy-stick issue to your satisfaction?

I can't imagine you being without a bender, as you feature some great guitar emulations in your music, and what is guitar "playin" without being able to bend notes?

Ian

Ian.....the ribbon is a good alternative to the stick....ask Don...

I AM selling a Pa3x
Its in great condition, have a case for it as well.
Shim

Probably, Donny, but it is still an "alternative", and not the properly functioning stick that came with a TOTL instrument.

Not everyone likes using a "ribbon"...especially if they are forced into it because KORG won't fix the stick.

Definitely poor customer service, even if they try to dress it up with a ribbon.

Ian

Suki, is looking for a PA3X to buy.
Deane

Let's get this back on track again...

Zuki is looking to buy a PA3X.

Shim is selling his PA3X (in great condition-with a case), and, DonM might be selling his PA3X (but ONLY because he's mad at Korg).

Ian

Shim

Still have pa3x?
Not for me as I prefer the Audya
But for a friend who doesn't know better. Lol.

Yes. It is still available Lee.

I yield the floor to Shim! I'm certainly in no hurry to sell mine, and not even certain I will. Also, I have potential buyers on hold already.
Anyway, I'd hate to cut off my nose to spite my face, as grandma used to say.

DonM

But if you do ... will you update your profile picture showing your nose cut off ???

Jim,

You're gonna love the Pa3x, like many here I've been thru a few arrangers in the last 6 years. I don't think I've been as happy with an arranger as I am with the Pa3x, this is the probably the first arranger I've owned that didn't have me waiting for something that I perceived to be the next best arranger. I still have the T4 and wouldn't give that up that up either but if I had to give up one, today it most likely would be the T4. The good news I can keep both.

In the event that occurs, I will update the photo!!
DonM

LOL..................

Hey, Jim. How about a nice "low mileage" SD-5? (LOL)!

WHOever, WHATever, WHENever, it's just good that you are getting back to music, Jim ...

When I moved from NY to RI I left the band I was with for 26 years ... I felt I had lost my 'security blanket' and didn't play a gig for 7 years ... I found myself saying "I used to play" ... something I NEVER wanted to say ... fortunately, thnx to my wife's urging - she KNEW how much I missed it - I had some business cards printed up and started 'pounding the streets' ... the 3rd place I went into, the owner said 'there's the piano, play something' ... I sang and played a couple of tunes and started playing there three weeks later ... don't know what I would have missed out on if it were not for my wife's urging me on ...


PS... Zuki is looking to buy a PA3x ... back on track ...

hmmmm...no thanks, but good to hear from you! Let me know when you're in Michigan.

Thanks t. Like you, it might happen fast and with that I'll confuse things and say I'm now looking for an 800!

The rumors of an impending PA900 are out there... You might want to hang tough and wait. The five fill system (as opposed to the old 3 fill system) is a paradigm changer for Korg. Plus the Chord Sequencer...

Me, if I was even considering a PA800 and the PA600 wouldn't work, I'd wait...

Yeh, thanks. I hate to wait, especially months on end. I would like speakers and the other things you mentioned.

The 600 is out (no mic) and a general feeling it is not on par with the 800.

Anyone know when the 900 is coming?

Er.... Korg?

Bingo! I passed on the Pa3X - a case of not wanting to shell out big bucks for far more than I'd ever use. Jeez, my Pa1XPro has more than I'll ever use. Waiting is not a problem for me. I waited over ten years with my i30 and only jumped to the 1X as it was a downright sweet secondhand deal at the time. But time takes its toll - on my back anyway, so I'm biding my time to see what this Pa900 is all about. Have to say, though, that it does look like it might just be the most potent contender for my dollar before too, too long.

I think you need to be a pretty heavy sample user or a devotee of the built-in harmonizers (personally, I think most standalone harmonizers sound MUCH better than even the best built-in, currently) to gain much waiting for the PA900.

Me, I'd go for the PA600, and maybe trade in or sell the 600 when the 900 comes out if it has something you GOTS to have!

That's the thing Diki, I'm a heavy harmoniser user and I've found the built-in TC well adequate for my needs and I'd like to avoid the extra hooking up of a standalone. Besides that, on one end of my 1X sits a small mixer and at the other end sits my Bose Tonematch. Also, I'm sort of bsnking on the 900 having a bunch of sliders a la the 3X (I like sliders, too).

As I say, after all this time there ain't no rush.
