Korg PA3x 61

the Kronos is probably the result of all the Oasys research and product development packed into a nice tidy little synth. I MUST HAVE ONE (site and listen unseen) LOL.

Korg PA3X . . . Woah! One slick looking kit!

'Can't wait' to HEAR & PLAY it now !

I wonder if the speaker assembly can be reversed to face the audience?

reminds me of the old i30 layout.

That speaker looks very awkward..would like to see a rear pic of this unit also...I hope it's optional and your not stuck paying for it as standard factory equipment. The unit looks much Wider now but slimer in Length .....

Yes on the early concept pics the speaker looked more, ummmm, elegant in my view??

Perhaps on the 76 note version it won't look as "clunky"

I think Korg went back to M1 and I30, which is great.

I agree Nedim, it looks superb!! Just the speaker arrangement looks a little "clunky".

Speakers very similar to the GEM Genesys, WOW! I can't wait to hear this thing

Speaker is optional. On the 61, the hard drive is optional. Weight is 32 pounds for 61 and 38 for 76. That is good!

very reasonable!!!

That's the first thing that came to mind too when I first saw the shot of the Korg PA3X with tilt up speaker unit.

Nice memories of watching Chris Anthony's premiere presentation of the Gem Genesys back at Namm 2006.

I'm now wondering who Korg's got doing the PA3X demo presentation at Namm this year?

Michele Voncken would be nice!

I would have done it if they had only asked!

What I don't like about the speaker assembly is it hides your hands. It will be harder for the audience to see that you are actually playing. Instead of doing karaoke tracks or whatever it is that they think.

No Donny...that's not the guy!
Least I hope not.
I honestly hope they hit it hard tommorrow...but it IS possible they decided at the last moment to announce now instead of waiing for Musikmess! That's where the real arranger gang will be. If that's the case they may not have much of a plan??
Hope I'm wrong.

I agree with the speakers hiding your hands. It definitely would give a false image of live playing. If that's the only on-board speaker option, It would be difficult to switch from the 800 (for me).

I'm not fussed about onboard speakers, seems they're optional anyway. What concerns me a little is where does the music stand plug into? If it sits above that speaker bar, that's going to add a lot of visual barrier to the audience.

what did you all think of tyhe sound in the demo. I was less than impressed and thats really really not good. Its sounds like they used the same samples from the PA1X. The difference between the sound of the Tyros 2 to Tyros 4 you can hear the sonic jump in quality. I didnt hear this with the Pa3X compared to my PA1X. I hope there are more deoms to come that show off the instrument to its best effect. So far i am dissappointed

That about sums it up

Yes, I amd sorry to say I agree.

I am a PA2xPro owner, and in THIS video I cannot hear any compelling evidence to upgrade.

I am holding final judgement until I can hear and see the official Korg demos.
