More then enough to make beautiful music if you know how....the PA800 is one heck of a arranger Korg did it right this time.

Probably okay if you use a lot of SMF, but 2 fills are definitely limiting for proper style use, especially for the accomplished player.

And...having to hit them spot on...very strange considering other arrangers always have their fills in synchronization with the variations.

Two severe shortcomings in my opinion.

Why do you two keep this up? Ignore each other if you have such a problem! Take it outside, for cryin' out loud.

In realty the pa800 has 4 fills....

1,2,3/break

depending on the style fill 3 worked as a fill or sometimes a break....or maybe bass slide etc ...plus if you press twice it will repeat the fill...great for songs like jail house rock etc etc ....blue suede shoes ...

Hi Dreamer,
that's a pity that the fills have put you off.
I loaded a couple of PA1x styles that came with my EMC styleworks. I can now see why some people used to complain about the earlier model Korg fills. They didn't seem to match up somehow. They appear to be louder or something. Did a bit of tweaking & now useable. Maybe I just picked a dud style.
Haven't noticed that problem with the fills on the PA800.

I too am planning on using the PA800 as a controller for my sd2 sound module.
Neither the PSR or the Ketron could do what I wanted. I couldn't find a way of turning the local off for just some of the style parts. Haven't fully checked it out as yet, but I'm hoping to use the module to supply the live drum parts for ketron conversions.

Hi Ian,

Actually so do the pads.

Thank you, kindly, Rikki...I appreciate your information.

With so many conflicting reports on the PA-800, it can be confusing.

I have yet to try one as the local dealer will not carry them.
