I have been hearing about the Korg PA2x...the ultimate synth edit capable arranger...From my past experience, and recent reading of the Korg manuals..I have the opinion , although the PA2x is great at editing sounds...it is surely not superior over all..In fact the Roland G70 has the exact editing capabilities in tone edits..and exceeds the Korg in drum edits..

Also on the plus column of the Roland..Effects that have always been a strength for Korg...again although good..do not match up to the G70 in effects edits and total number of effects units...The E80, even has more than it's counter G70..

I am not dishing out on the PA2x..in fact I like it...but I think it is a good idea to put this comparison out front...Maybe we can have a civil discussion here about our thoughts on the top models when it comes to editing sounds...

I believe this discussion would further establish why the top arrangers are the better machine over the respective "synth workstations"...I for one would never want a workstation (only) over the "arranger workstations"..

I also question why you folks think that the current workstation only boards incorporate "arranger" capabilities...They do NOT!!!..the exception is the MediaStation..that many knock as an arranger..yet except the thought that a workstation can do the job of a arranger...

Arpeggios can only fill a need to a point..and not very well...and if you think you would want to work gigs with just a workstation..especially if you are coming from a arranger background...I want to hear from you..(still have this bridge for sale.. ..)

The truth anyone that thinks the workstation rules..has not worked an arranger to it's up most capabilities...


So..what are your thoughts?
