Round two sound wise Tyros 4.......feature wise Pa3x

Sounds are always subjective.., but in all fairness.., this video is a non professional example taken with someone's video camera. With the quality of this video itself I don't think it would rightfully do justice to any of the major keyboards on the market in terms of "sound quality".

However.., if we're looking at the features here.., WOW! Well done Korg!

Round two sound wise Tyros 4.......feature wise Pa3x

Michele Voncken & Peter Baartmans must have a big grin on their faces watching some of the Korg guys demonstrate.
They look lost or not prepared at all to demo a $4k unit.?

I have to agree that Korg's product demo specialists aren't as "lively" as Yammies. I think everyone should employ Bert. That man can make a roll up piano feel and sound like a "must have" item.

lively & talented ........ after watching these last 2 demos that Hot air balloon I mentioned yesterday just crashed to the ground ...Tyros4 players have NOTHING to worry about for sure.
I wish I was wrong

I wouldn't be so sure on that one Donny. The best sounding keyboard in the world could sound like utter doo doo in the hands of a less experienced individual (Tyros 4 included).

Put this new PA model in the hands of Bert and let him do a pro quality demo for it.., and I think we'd be seeing and "hearing" the true ability of this new model.

Korg's problem IMO is that their demo team isn't as polished on using arrangers (as they could or should be).

and that speaker thing

Why waiting for Namm to introduce a new keyboard? I've never watched/listened so far any good video made with a hand camera and live sound in those shows. I remember Yamaha creating big expectations in the general public (home players may be?) by announcing their new Tyros 2/3 introducing it sound by sound, little by little, day after day in very good quality videos. May be there is no money for marketing, may be it's a keyboard for the pros and there is no need for good video marketing, but they're missing a broad market around the world if they don't show well the instrument outside Namm.

Once again I will say...IMHO...I think the announcement was to be at Musikmesse not NAAM....that is apparent in the unprepaired demos. They decided to do it now...I have this from someone I trust, and is in the know.

So..relax...all the good demos etc will come.
PLUS, don't forget..we have SZ folks on site that will report back....I trust there opinions a lot.
