I have used the Genesys and only able to get one split point in regular playing mode. This is one of the most overlooked features in an arranger. You can have 2 sounds in the righthand. So if you need to use a different sound in a split second in the right hand, you can do so with out having to press a button. You can have a melody sound and a brass sound in the right so you play the melody and immediately play the brass line. Also good for call and response. It is even better if you have 76 keys to do so. Yes i could do that on my SX76 (stage version of WX2)but then that was build like 15 years ago... the first actually arranger workstations. _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Don't know if it will happen. But what I do know is they got my message and WILL consider it in the future. More than I have gotten other places. By the way, yes... DO NOT BUY (keep) a board based only on the demos. Get it, try it and try it for 3 weeks or so before making a final decision. The reason I say that is when I first got the PA2 I was having trouble deciding if I liked it well enough to make the switch.. Now the more I use it the more I like it. It's really pretty easy to use/learn. Some retailers have free shipping AND 30 day return policy. You would be out shipping one way if you return it. Lee _________________________ Lee S.

Booby Member Registered: 07/19/05 Posts: 107	Hi, since Pa1X the three upper tracks can be layered, velocity switched and splitted each one in a different way. Translated for the given question you can have a lower (1 sound) then three different sounds in the uppers (using the split/keyboard range) for a total of 4 sounds in the real time tracks. So, fortunately, nothing to ask to Korg Italy this time ... ;-) Best regards.

Well, you can create one sound from up to 16 oscilators, which can be assigned different key ranges. How many splits you can have is going to depend on the complexity of the sound!

So how fast does this make me run out of polyphony? _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

How many splits you can have is going to depend on the complexity of the sound! no it's much simpler. Go to: style play -> menu -> keyboard ensemble -> key velocity tab and then split the three upper sounds using the top/bottom key parameters. Cannot be simpler IMHO, and it's there since long time, starting from Pa1X to the last Pa2X including all models in between. In Pa2X/Pa800 there are also the very last two performances (Octave Pno-Flute and Organ-Steel Gtr) showing how this work without any programming. Just select and play. Hope this help. Regards.
