Cheers
SUNNY

Congrats on your new KB.........!!!!!
I feel your excitement its a great sounding unit ......
Now go make some nice music & keep us abreast of your progress...maybe even post a few tunes for us too

I am considering adding a Korg PA50 to my PSR3000, so would be interested in any PRO's & CON's of the PA50 from your point of view after you have managed some sleep..Ha!!!!

Graham talk to Zuki I think he knows about the PA50.

Congratulations Sunny!

I know the PA50 is a great machine, and it will provide you with many many sleepless nights
The only thing I can recommend is... stock up on coffee and start sleeping more during the day

again congratulations and enjoy your new toy.

cheers,

Congratulations Sunny! I KNOW the feeling. - Scott

Every comment is subjective, which is a good thing for keyboard makers. My opinion of the PA50 is mixed:

- good sounds
- good sounding styles
- nice access panel features
- good speakers
- large screen
- editing features

- keys suspect (mine starting sticking)
- style loading was slow (at least for me)
- glitches in style timing
- 61 keys
- got boring

Overall, not appealing enough for me to keep.

MY OPINION ONLY

Hi, congrats in your PA50, I perform in my 2 boards, teh PSR 3000 and my PA60....a great combination....of course, I customized both to my style of playing, and the people seems to enjoy it, I am getting book for 2007 now...in certain styles I use more the PA and in others the 3000.
So, enjoy and if you have any questions, just email me I'll be happy to help you anyway I can.

Congratulations for your Pa50.
Its a great sound unit.

the best, by a mile in this price range.
an absolute winner in combination with e.g.
a Yamaha PSR 3000.
Failed to understand Zuki's views here, I mean one can get bored with anything but his drawbacks, subjective that goes without saying, seem to be very small compared to even his list of advantages.

Donny,
I was almost "offended"for you not mentioning me, but from all your postings I have deducted you are still largely in the dark as to what to purchase. I gather you are still hanging on to the one PSR3000 ?
do yourself a favour and get the PA-50 on top. It is a relatively minor investment and if it does not work out at all you can easily get rid of it without losing hundreds of dollars !!!
My opinion of course for what it is worth, but well intended !!
regards,
john

Hi John,
I agree, it has many advantages and it had my attention - I really liked a lot about it My problem is personal, because I get bored with every board I get My goodness, Ive passed up expensive boards/great buys for an EXR7s now! Most here would think I'm crazy
zuki

Hi sunster,
Congrats
Franky

John....I know your the PA master & enjoy this very fine unit! Anyone interested should talk to John Smies for sure. The Pa series has so many merits !
I knew Zuki just sold his Pa50 & wanted to hear his opinons & reasons why on the KB which made me wonder also.
Although I have peformed with the lightweight 3k without a hitch, I myself am addresing another avenue of which I wll express my opinion in a few weeks for sure.

Hi Donny,

I was just about to ask you which mysterious avenue you are about to explore when you gave the game away in another thread ! shame on you !!! So you have your eyes set on the Midjay then ? I hope it works out for you, DonM is very positive about it. Personally I have also enjoyed playing Solton/Ketron keyboards and I guess if the price is right anyone should consider them as a serious option...........
regards,
john
