don't know if this was posted yet, but I just noticed this on the Korg website:
MP10 Pro http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/en/products2/mp10pro_info.html?en

HI Shim, it's interesting that this slipped through our attention. This seems like a direct competitor to the MidJay. I see you can use it as a sound source for a Midi Keyboard using Korg's sound engine. That sounds intriguing.

I did get a chuckle from the following line in the ad; "a massive 120 GB hard drive". I know this is a enough space for this little guy, but my laptop has had 500 gb for 2 years and Western Digital just announced a 3 Terra-byte Hard disk for $279.00 for sale. 120 gig just doesn't sound as massive as it once did.

I'm curious to see if they pulled these functions out of the Pa2xpro and put it in a little box?

Would be great if it were an arranger as well...
The Audya4 has nothing to worry about

And it's only $1999.00

I've been playing around with one for awhile. It's not bad, it's a direct competitor of the midjay, except no styles.

That seems expensive to me.

Didn't the Midjay do styles as well?

$2000 is ridiculous for a karaoke player.

I Agree, you could purchase one hell of a computer and software for $2000.

Wow....

The midjay is also an arranger with rh solo voices @ $1800. The korg seems way over priced.

Another useless piece of c$%p by Korg...as usually for the last year or so...

Yes, the MidJay does styles.

I could not agree more. Why do they come up with dumb products like the Midjay and that one, who will be aimed solely at who's looking for an hi-tech midi file player?

Slap on it a complete arranger section AND a full-fledged sequencer for those who compose too and hate computers (like me) and you have an unique product.

This was mentioned along with other similaar boxes at this thread: http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/021492.html

Hi Nedim,

What other "useless piece of c$%p" have they made in the last year or so?
