Again, "better" is your feelings on/about the touch...it is very personal. I know several players using PA2xPro and Tyros3, and they aren't brand loyal, but they feel the FSX is better for their purposes.
I should add, that the above statement also has the reverse, in that some would prefer Korg's action over the FSX....plus the 76 note Korg (XPro) might be chosen on it's extra bit of keys. Damn, this not being able to edit (even within 10 minutes) is a pain.  Ian

I know we both agree that this is not a pissing contest...they never go anywhere, anyway.  Is there a Korg Workstation with a comparable (or the same) keybed and action to what is on the PA2XPro? I'd like to have some idea what the PA2XPro's keybed feels like, as I hear that many like the action. So, you aren't quite sure if you'll be upgrading to PA3X? What would you need to discover about the new one that would make you decide to get one? Ian As far as I know Ian, the keybed Korg Italy used on the PA2xPro, was only used on it. You cannot even compare the PA1xPro as it used a different keybed again. Much lighter in action. Both Fatar, but different models.. I did have noted somewhere, what the actual Fatar model they put in the PA2x was, I will see if I can find it, and maybe you could try a keyboard using the same one?? Now your question re upgrading to the PA3? I will not be. From what I have managed to learn online (and privately), there has been a slight increase in the number of DNC sounds, re-worked existing styles (not all with DNC either) mostly using the new effects and eq'ing and approx 45 brand newies. Guitar Mode is STILL only capable of being used in style creation. It has a few more patches and strum patterns. Styles can still only be edited created loaded in the cumbersome and very awkward "SET" system. IE no individual style loading. NO style previewing either. Still no PC editing, there are a few more minor things, but to be fair to Korg maybe these will get addressed/fixed with software updates. The ONLY thing I would consider as truly new is the chord sequencer, and I am no about to drop $4-5k JUST for that. Especially as a chord sequencer app could be developed for Linux, and therefore the new Groove Rack I will be adding to the PA2x. Dennis

Dennis Denis, I don't blame you for not upgrading with the improvements you have stated above the Pa3x could be like The Tyros3 was just an "INBETWEEN" unit...nothing ground breaking but may need to WAIT for the Pa4x to really show some major improvements?
