The fills are fine ....

Sliders ......Sliders !!!!!!


Oh My MORE SLIDERS!!!!!!!!!!

Correctomundo!

There is a Hugh difference between the former pa80 series vs the pa800 series features. Korg is addressing so many things that PLAYERS want compared to Yamaha ...
& when the dust settled I walked out with a KORG PA800 for my needs. I listened to my Uncle Dave & again as always he was sooooo right!

Some people are able to overlook the poorly done style fills...some aren't so easily fooled.

At the end of the day you have to spend time going through the detail of any new instrument before you buy. Thank God there are so many good boards out there we are spoiled for choice. The only comment i can make here that has not (as far as i can tell) been said, is that far too often i see what appears to be very minor issues with a brand of performance keyboard becomeing THE reason that it is overlooked. If having 3 fillin or 4 fillins is what tips the scale for you then fine . But dont overlook the other features that could make the world of difference to not just how you currently use arranger keyboards but also how you play.

If you listen to Rod Pooley (well established organist in UK and player of the Korg pa800 you would be hard pressed to see whether the PA series had just two fillins.Then after listening to the these performances ask yourself ' does 2 ,3,4,5, fillins really matter all that much ?'

Just my 2 cents

ps if any of you choose to by Rod's albums please email him and tell him i sent you !!! He doesnt know me yet but i am going to approach him for the next DVD tutorial that i will be arrangeing in the new year. Hopefully some of you can soften him up for me !!

Just like you were easily fooled by the toy keyfeel on the re packaged S900 and inferior MFD....Hmmmmmm funny coming from a non pa800 owner....Ian do me a favor psot some of these inferior fills for us ...so we can hear what you mean...cut the crap and put up baby.

You're correct Spalding...an expert player like Rod Pooley could easily overcome the style fill-in limitations.

But, the hard truth is that the PA-800 is marketed as a home keyboard and the majority of users would expect decent fill-ins that would be more forgiving than the PA-800's "spot on" approach to triggering them.

It must be rather disconcerting to some owners to realize that a PSR, that is less than half the price, has better implemented(and more plentiful)style fills.
