I have had my PA800 about two weeks. I decided to go down to my dealer after seeing the endorsements by UD and Donny. I played around with it, and found the OS quite intuitive, and the styles and sounds good. By comparison to the KN7000, which I have been gigging with for the past four years, the PA800 sounded as good.

I was advised to make sure it had 1.51 loaded, so I told the dealer that I would buy it if they loaded it into the board. No problem, they downloaded it from the Korg website, and had it in in about twenty minutes.

Well, let me tell you that it made the whole thing come alive. My regulars have commented that they love the new sound.

IMHO. the KN7000 sounds good, and has been my constant companion, but the PA800 has it beat.

This is just the humble opinion of an old warhorse that has been playing countless keyboards ever since they came out about 1980.
