ROTFL!!!! Is that why you needed to PM me to ask "...how do I get the factory styles off the PA800, to do conversions" If the styles are so bad why do you need to convert them to something else? ( and no thanks either wink )

Surely not the tin-box Prelude? And the G70 is sooooo dated in its sound department, (and operations for that matter, apart from makeup tools). Very much a glorified SC88-Pro. Even the VA76 sounded better than the G70, jmho after having owned all of them.

The only sounds on the G70 that are any better than the PA series are the pianos, and even then, only one of them.



WOW!!!!! so much for "private messaging" smile

Dennis , I never mentioned the styles..I actually like many of the Korg styles..in fact I have used a lot of the PAx styles for a couple years on my G70 and Prelude..

The comparison was sounds...Most of the other musicians in the audience have mentioned the difference....mostly sequence playback..but also MP3 playback..I am wondering if the PA800 has different audio outputs than the PA2x...or is the PA2x also not up to par... smile

As for sounds ..the GS way of sampling (pulse code modulation) has been a proven winner..Just compare the choirs , oohs, ahhs, scats, with other methods of sampling...Fantom, Motif, M3 or the PAx boards....they don't come close to G70/E80...

As for sequencing power...I think the outdated G70 is hard to beat....I do not care for the current Korg sequencers...they seem to have too many quirks..I will explain another time...and another post..

We all have our own opinions...what is most important in my world..."my opinion".. grin
