I've heard some quite remarkable Arabic and Balkan stuff all done on a Korg... sadly, few in the West are going to use that as any kind of indicator of whether the Korg will be good for THEM.

My take is, good demo or bad demo, I know I can make anything sound good. There really aren't any modern TOTL arrangers that truly suck. So, after that, it's more a case of the features, the form factor, the styles and the TYPE of sound. Most of that is only truly realized after a hands-on...

Yes I have also listen to many Turkish demos of the Korg PA's and it is really amazing how some of these guys play.

Idea: For those who want to know how some of the sounds of the PA3x will sound why not listen to a few demos of the Grand Piano and EP sounds of the SV1 at http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/en/products1/sv1_demo.html?en
