Pa4x - 10/12/19 09:25 AM

Just couldn't pass up a great deal on a PA4x w/soundbar too.
don't know if SX900 is enough for my needs,
the pre-order delay was a great advantage in the thinking, comparison, and reviews made me realize whats best for me
...thank you all.

The pa4x is an incredible keyboard..
Top of the line from Korg, atleast untill later this year when the pa5x is expected to launch..

Not that a new keyboard makes the pa4x any less then it allready is..

Thank you Bachus.... I agree,...having 2 previously
I was silly to switch out and explore.
It checks all the boxes for this singer/player
in so many ways vs the Sx900.

Nice one Donny, it was always what you really wanted and where your heart was. I would love to see a PA4x, it looks and sounds incredible.

Luckily for me, Bonners Music (which is also where I got my SX900 from) are opening up a third store fairly close to my town soon which will finally enable me to visit a music store and try out all these lovely boards.

Re: I made my decision FOR MY NEEDS.. - 10/12/19 02:40 PM

Posted by: Kabinopus

Re: I made my decision FOR MY NEEDS.. - 10/12/19 03:05 PM

Given that you are a professional musician, I find it natural that you need a high grade instrument. Other units can be useful too and everyone needs changes, but as a primary unit, I think, an advanced machine like PA4X is a right choice. Obviously, later there will be better deals on SX900 and a variety of smaller units will come out that can be used as an addition to PA4X.
Posted by: Bill Lewis

Re: I made my decision FOR MY NEEDS.. - 10/12/19 05:47 PM

Glad your happy and settled Donny. The indecision can be daunting. If I were in the market for a new board the PA4X would be my choice too. Bueatiful instrument.
Just as a sidebar I sat in with a band the other night and the BK9 really shined being played as a straight synth. Especially the Hammond sounds. The guys were blown away with it.

As I have said, I feel the PA4x is best for my needs, except the keys. The older I get, the harder it is to make four hours without my fingers and wrists aching afterwards.
I'm finding the EA7 more than adequate right now.

Profit has nothing to do with copyrights. It is all about the permission to make, and/or distribute a copy. I'm no choir boy in this area, but the laws are far from perfect or fair to the composers, and artists.

Compliments from Holland Donny.
May we assume you will now finally lay your head to rest with Korg ? a Pro needs a Pro tool, which you have now and in moments of slight mental perturbance you decided to flog twice, but I am glad you have seen the light again. The song you posted is
"meraviglioso" !!!!!
