Bad press and gossip do undeserving harm to a product that is absolutely the BEST keyboard on the market. Anyone can glitch a style if tried hard enough. Even with Yamaha and as smooth as they are, I had styles I just couldn't work with. I won't bad mouth other products here, but if you haven't had the joy of playing an 800/2X, then you've really missed out - it is an incredible tool for live and studio work. I'm glad I'm the only one in my area that uses it. Believe me, the audience simply raves about this board and I have more work from my current act then I did with my last setup. It's the total package that counts....
How could this response bother you, what should be bothering is that korg has released all of these boards (PA80, PA60, PA50, PA1x, PA1xpro, Pa2x, Pa800, pa500)and they haven't fixed the problem. No one is trying to harm the beloved Korg, There just pointing out a flaw and others people like AJ are helping to correct it, since korg has failed to do it.
Also I own a PA80 couldn't stand when the fill-in came in off beat and I tell you I was happy to get rid of the board because it was embarrassing when that happened.
As far as the "best" everyone has there opinion.
Good luck.....
