Not true..On the Korg you can select whether you want to have the fill trigger on the next measure, OR immediately.

I suspect the programmers at Korg realise not everyone has perfect timing when it comes to pushing the fill button, so they give users the choice. Three in fact.

excerpt from the manual.....In brackets are my additions

"This setting is only available
for the Fill 1, 2, 3 Style Elements.

Immediate, first measure:
The Style Element enters immediately.(and begins from the first measure of the fill pattern.)

Immediate, current measure:
The Style Element enters immediately, and begins from the current measure. (IE, if the style is at measure 4, the fill pattern starts at measure 4 of the fill pattern, if available.)

Next measure, first measure:
The Style Element enters at the beginning of the next measure, and begins from the first measure. "


As I said I no longer own the PA1x, or PA2x, but I have to give credit where due.

And I NEVER had one timing issue with fills, only ones that I either deliberately tried to stuff-up, or where my timing on the button push was off.

PS: I repeat, I have my doubts as to the "genuine" nature of this thread.. AJ has got what I think he intended to do, which was to start huge debate on a "perceived" fault of the Korg's not long before the release of the new Ketron.

Clever marketing strategy I would say.
