Stefan uploaded another of his popular Arranger Comparison videos on YouTube.
In this one he focuses on the iconic chorused and detuned Piano voice in the ABBA Song – Money, Money, Money.
He plays them in this order:
Yamaha Genos2
Roland E-80
Korg Pa5x
Ketron Event
Later, he plays the full arrangement.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPW-vYuZrzUThe Roland E-80 can’t quite compete with the other 3 top of the line models.
It takes a lot of effort on Stefan’s part to create these entertaining comparison videos.
He has to reposition all his keyboards for each section, select the closest matching style and voices and level out the output volumes.
The
Pa5x has the live band feeling with each instrument clearly distinguishable.
The
Genos2 is washed in effects like a studio processed track.
The
Event delivers the most excitement.
It would be a matter of personal preference amongst the big three. They all can sound fabulous in the hands of an expert musician.
If one wants to have it all, they could buy the 88-key piano action Korg Pa5x and place it on the bottom tier, add the 76-key synth action Genos2 on the 2nd tier and top it off with the Ketron EventX arranger module on the 3rd tier or on a side stand.
