It has to be. Mine won;t be here until possibly JUNE!!!Whilst Tyros 2s and Roland G70s are not getting sold on Ebay for even $1900!! Two have been relisted twice dropping From $2100 to $1888 for a NEW Warrantied refurb and a local seller still no bids......and I have to wait 2 months for a PA2x.....

Must be a really great keyboard.

Must be....but, you have to realize that Tyros2, and especially G70, are really yesterday's news.

The new Tyros3 and Roland's new G-series are not far off...then the fit will hit the shan.

Hope you get your keyboard soon...waiting is so frustrating.

Congratulations once again, Kingfrog on your new Korg.

Kingfrog, congratulations on your new purchase. We are SO happy for you. Now maybe you'd like to add a little modesty, and not practice self-justification by slagging everyone else's choice, and we might avoid another round of bitterness...

Maybe you noticed the PA1X for sale at $1800 or so... That's what YOUR PA2XPro will be worth after four or more years of being out, and newer models have come along... Enjoy yourself while you can, I guess

The time to start crowing will be IF it compares favorably with the T3, and outsells it, not whether it's worth more than a three or four year old design...!

Good luck. You're gonna love it

Sorry Diki I don't mean to come across thst way. BUt you must understand I am paying a lot more then I can get the Roland and (Especially Yamaha since I sell them). Even with that I am waiting 6 weeks for it.

Knowing Yamaha I have a good feeling it will be a glorified Yamaha S900. I really don't believe Yamaha will stray far from the Tyros 2. More sounds, styles but the same OS and features. They are geared for the Home user and mimic the Clavinova series to a T which IS a home sesigned and marketed keyboard.

Knowing Roland and their Fantom series they are geared to the modern sounds and I am guessing not much will change there. I wish I could have tried one in a store. I KNOW Roland is a class company with great product.

I meant no slight on the G70.I apologize if I came off that way. I am a tad over zealous and perhaps looking to justify the $3000 expense.

At this stage in the game...I personally would wait a few months and see what ACTUALLY is released from Yamaha & Roland instead of trying to guess what the future will bring before I spent $3000.00 on a KB. No one yet knows what is in the cards......but dont let your impatience leave you depressed when they release something your left saying to yourself...
"I Should Have Waited'

Good luck with you choice.

At this time of year, waiting to see or hear what Y&R plan to market a year or more from now is not worth it. Last year I bought and sold over a half-dozen keyboards looking for what I really wanted. What I found is exactly what you predict about the T3 - more repackaged great stuff and a few new things to entice. Sound wise, the audience's ear will pick up more on your talent, groove and style than the new articulated sound your keyboard has. Just my opinion.

I'd say get the Korg, learn it, grow with it and dump it in 4 years - so what? Pretty good use of time and money in my book.

I finally strayed from Yamaha and left the comfort zone for my PA800. It wasn't easy, as I gave up the 1st time and went back the 2nd time with determination. I won in the end and this board is simply incredible live.

It adds a whole new dimension to my act and is well received by my audience - trust me!

The best way I can describe it is - every song has a different element - they no longer sound the same.

If it's not your cup of tea in the end, I'll take it off your hands too!

Zuki wow what a turnaround for you Congrats!! BTW what are you doing to Find more non factory styles, conversions etc etc ....or is the Korg ones all you use now?

Dnj, did you see the great number of styles dimitris from the Korg forum provided. They were all the styles that were on the Pa1X that were not replicated on the Pa2X, for some reason.

Dimitris is speculating that Korg plan to bring in some new styles, and that's why they left room. I hope so, but meanwhile they are a great addition.
