So does that mean that the reverse is true - without your customized styles/musical resources set that the KMA would also need to be tweaked like the other Korgs to maximize the benefits of each style?
I notice that on your website you also show a customized styles/musical resources set for the Pa800. If this set were loaded into the Pa600 would that eliminate tweaking each style or because it is a different board that it would be hit and miss as to what would need a tweak and what wouldn't?
As to your first question : definitely in my point of view.
Of course there is no accounting for tastes and like Don points out further on any of these keyboards can be played out of the box or with minor tweaking, but why do you reckon Deane is so pleased with his KMA ( owing a Tyros 4 and PSR950 on top !!!) that he dispenses with the PA600 ?
It can not be the quality of the PA600 cause I am sure that with extensive tweaking and progamming it will go a long way, but even taking into account what Donny says ( spent days of getting it right) you cannot compare such an effort to playing with the same keyboard intensively for four years , constantly programming and tweaking as well. And may I add that Deane is using basically my ( ultimate) 2006 set for his KMA while he is also in possession of four previous sets.
As to your second question, and bearing in mind what DonM says here later in this thread, I sent my extensive programming on the PA800 (still my main board) to several folks I know who had purchased the PA3X. ( which I owed myself for 10 days......) No, the PA3X and no doubt the PA600 as well cannot do justice to my PA800 resources, or vice versa if you like. Simply because the sounds etc. refer to different locations in the PA800, hence the result is often disappointing or even crap. ( this excludes of course all the styles that I include and can be played on any PA model. If you want more info on that simply mail me:

Bottomline to me is that ALL keyboards need tweaking and progamming. Many here often do not have their boards long enough to get down to that. Second, if you perform on stage , see my thread on " arranger keyboards anno 2012 " folks will hardly hear the difference to brand A or B, let alone whether the entertainer's keyboard has not been tweaked, altered slightly or tweaked intensively.
Here in Holland , a traditional organ country, many former organ players have Yahama Tyros or PSR in their homes and hardly get beyond the songfinders registrations, believe it or not ..........
kind regards,
John
