Donny,

These are old vidoes, but just shows you what can be done, you don't need a high end KB at �4.5K

Listen to this, it sounds like the Church scene in the first GOD FATHER film where Michael Corleone renounces the devil. You need to hear it all the way though, still there are no sign of shorts and trainers.

get my Musical Resources for the PA-500musikant, programmed on the musikant itself and it will sound even better. A lot actually..........Ask Uncle Dave.............

Old or not it was enjoyable to listen to & for the price it's hard to beat KORG definitely is in the game.......

also was this demo you posted one of my favorite songs....funny how people mistakenly call it the theme from the Godfather movie.. instead of
"Speak Softly Love"....

To me this is the Theme Song from the GODFATHER

PS.. what are the major differences between the pa800/pa500/pa500 "Musickant"?


John have you posted sample demos of your updated programs somewhere also?....btw
Happy New Year!!

LMAO.... ah ah

hi Donny,

sorry but have not posted any demos of my new Resources, for various reasons. I will get back to the subject as such later on, suffice it to say that many have received my resources and valued them,see .e.g. Uncle Dave's comments. Very few however have actually expressed their gratitude in any other way than wishing me a happy new year................................

As regards your question about the differences, well I guess folks like Zuki, Uncle DAve, etc. can elaborate on the qualities of the PA-800 which is basically identical to the Korg flagship the PA-2X.
The PA-500 as well as my current keyboard the PA-500musikant are obviously scaled down versions of the PA-800 and imho the main difference lies in the fact that the two top models contain extra and superior samples of most used instruments.
You might find it interesting to know that I traded my basic 500 for the 500musikant (which was designed for the German speaking market) for the simple reason that the Musikant has 40 extra basic samples not residing in the standard 500. Among these many organ settings, but also better trumpet samples and last but not least (my main reason for swapping) better SNARE DRUM samples, reminding me of the previous models PA-50/80. But I don't think the 500musikant can be bought in the USA. Even the logo and language of the sounds etc. is in German.
Howver any PA-800 or PA-2X owner can buy the so-called "Musikant USB stick " (about 150 dollars to the best of my knowledge) which basically adds all there is in the 500Musikant (styles, settings, sounds) to the PA-800/ PA-2X.

Hope this answers your question and happy new year to you Donny and to you all here at the forum.

John thank you for the informative reply as always very much appreciated...
I know much more then I did. I hope in the future all your efforts are received better also.

Hi Donny,

Once more, it is the player, not the instrument. Listen to the guy murdering the song:

I'd like to hear this song done with vocals for a change...other then Europe.

Trident,

A truism if ever there was one !!!
However I would like to emphasis once more that the standard PA-500 though great value for money (actually I cannot think of any better value for money) is not a PA-800.Small wonder as the PA-800 is more than twice as expensive.Fortunately most corners have been cut regarding extras such as vocaliser, after touch etc. but as far as the basics are concerned the 500 series boast the same samples with the exeption of the RNC samples, alas the better ones......
One of the reasons as I explained earlier on for me to switch to the 500musikant version.
As far as programmability is concerned though I cannot think of any keyboard in whatever price range to beat the PA's.........
