Zuki,

If you are first and foremost a vocalist, you really owe it to yourself to use the TC Helicon vocalizer. It is so natural sounding and rock solid as a harmonizer. Your act will improve greatly with this either as a stand alone unit or built into the Korg products.

I spent the weekend just analyzing the voices in the Korg Pa2Xpro. I didn't compare them to the T2 on purpose. I just wanted to listen to each voice to see if I liked them or not. I would say that in each category (piano, organs, strings, etc) the Korg voices have at least one or two that are just outstanding. The organs are awesome. The Church organs blew me away!! Great choirs, strings, saxes, etc, etc.

More and more the T2 is fading away as a tool for Live performing. Just the songbook function alone in the Pa2 is worth the price!

I think it's a state of mind. I was in a comfort zone with the Yamaha. I'm glad I shook myself up and considered other boards. Especially in the "Pro" category that offer the Professional actual professional features. Does that make sense?

Al....good luck

your on your way to musical happiness....when the T2 is gone you'll realize you made the right choice FOR YOU Cant wait to hear a few tunes.
I honestly sometimes look back & feel sellers remorse at getting rid if the PA800 also......great sounding KB with super features...if I can wait it out with the
TC Harmony M unit until a new wave arrives asap..I might be fine until then I have to put up with Fran urging me to go back to the super G70...I know hes right too

Regardless of the musical roads you take, I want to thank you for the usual enthusiasm you showed for the PA800, because it is the best keyboard I have ever owned, and I have owned many.

Bernie.....my fickleness sometimes gets the better of me & Im fortunate to be able to move around on gear a little more then most....but in no way is it a reflection on the gear it self in certain circumstances.....I try to give my honest take on it FOR MY Personal needs, which may or may not be for other people....& will always if I can help them with any difficulties if I'm able to do so. Moving the PA800 was the hardest one to decide yes or no.....& is in the back of my mind for a re-buy once I get a chance to get my thoughts together.....

Good Luck Bernie with your music!!

Email me some demos!

Hi Donny & Bernie,
ME TOO, I totally argree with Bernie, I was struggling to find a keyboard that would suit me as well as the Technics range had over the years, & the Korg PA800 has turned out perfect.
I think I was in the doldroms for 2 or 3 years after selly my KN7, tried Ketron, Yamaha & Software Arranger setup, all of which I still play around with, but the PA800 is perfect for me.
Hubby asked me the other day what I wanted for my upcoming birthday, first time ever the answer wasn't a "New Keyboard", not that I always get one. haa haa

Donny, I truly hope you find what you're looking for.

best wishes
Rikki

Rikki,

Thanx....as the technology closes the gap in I would say the next 2 years I feel I am very close to saying "Thats It"...The PA800 has made that very apparent. We've come a long way....& I've been playing arrangers professionaly since day one.
