NickG,
Be sure and go to the KorgPA.com site and look at the upcomming OS2 features being added for FREE! I repeat for FREE!

Also, some initial demos on the new Korg Difined Nuace Contol sounds are here:http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=37642&sid=e1e2a1244e37ce5c282a7a315a1dd5c2

I went from Yamaha T2 to the PA2XPRO.

Actually it would be best if you could go to Frank's place and spend a day...checking out both to see which one you like best. Also....he has great pricing on everything and superb support.

Also...if you are looking at T3 Vs PA800...why not go for the PA2XPRO (about the same street price) ...great keybed 76 keys and more sliders amd they are assignable to lots of different things.

Hi Nick,
style & padediting/creation functions are better on the korg.
You can sample with the korg
Yo can create "groove" pad & style tracks.
ie a groove is a spliced audio drum loop.
A groovecan replace a drum or percussion track in a style, or as a pad, it will sync to style.

Another great feature is Guitar Mode. It's a style creation tool for recording guitar tracks .

best wishes
Rikki

Nick didn't you own a Motif?

Do you still have it?

Also, come on, $7,990 is just the RRP on the PAx not the street price....

I still own the Motif but i am selling it as i have never really been as inspired to play it as an arranger. I miss the true arranger functionality.

I know that 7,999 is only an RRP but it still means its another 2k above the Tyros 3 what ever price I bargain down to.

I watched the 1h20min Korg PA 800 tutorial video last night and i am absolutely sold! i cant wait to get a Korg now. the styles and sounds are different and more acquired to my musical taste. its just something completely different to Yamaha which is what i like.

I want to give something new a shot and not just buy a keyboard (Tyros 3) that has all the same plus a bit more if u get me?

The fact that it has the same amount of drum kits as the motif, and awesome usable synth sounds and effects is one factor, and then the styles, the overall quality, the fact it has good speakers AND its light makes it a winner for me!
