Hi steve,
i have a psr, but i don't really use it, and I can't comment on PA1X, sequencer is possibly different to pa800.
If your your drums are going to be a problem, have you considered recording it as style instead.

OK
KOrg has 4 variations, each of these variations has 6 cv's ( chord variations) that gives you 24 different drum patterns you could have , each up to 32 bars long, just for the variations themselves.
Plus each of the fills , intro's, endings have 2 cv's each, they can be 32 bars long also, including the fills.
Just say you created the style, you could copy parts, edit them whatever it's got a great style editor..
Once you've got your drum style recorded,you could use the step mode record function. Put in the chords & variations for the drum track. Save. Load it into multitrack & record the rest of your tracks.
The reason I mentioned having to type in chords is, each of the cv's is triggered by a different chord type of your choosing.

BTW.....KORG says the PA1 PROx I tried yesterday won't do what I want, they say no PA will.....2nd person there to say that.....But should I go Arranger the Yamaha 910 is my ticket because of the ability to record my acoustic guitar, harmonies, and of course drum tracks.......I guess I will have to chew hard on getting my drums in one pass.....That does really hurt my flexibility.....
