you have to smile..... An employee for korg Demos a Kronos and a PA3X in front of an audience and provides mic'd running commentary for that audience (unless he just likes talking to himself through a mike ha ha ). The clip is put on the StrumentiMusicaliTV youtube website ( a major retailer of musical equipement from Korg to roland to yamaha as a demo of the Korg PA3X but ....its not a real 'official demo.' Steve Mcnally demos the Korg PA3x at Namm 2011 and talks to a video camera about te features of the PA3X (very poorly i might add)This demonstration is also clearly featured on the Korg USA youtube site and the Korg China youtube website ......and thats not an 'official Korg demo' either appraently . A french korg demonstrator demos the korg at namm 2011 in a room full of people explaining the features (in french noless)..... and thats not an 'official' demo either .

I am happy to wait for an 'official' demonsration of the Korg PA3X but when it arrives you might need to explain to me what makes it 'official' .......

And diki no one is saying the instrument sucks. It would seem you have as usual put 1 + 1 together and made 5. Generally people are disappointed with the demos and that so far the instruments sound does not compare to other similar youtube demonstrations from other manufacturers, whether by amateurs like Telmo , leigh willbraham,petry giles or michael voncken, Mr Baartman or Martin Harris.

I am sure the PA3X is a fine instrument. Just not as good sonically as its competitor.

If you were to listen to the 'official' Pa2x demo click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6YE99GQwbQ .

Then when you get to hear the 'official ' Pa3X demo use this as a reference for some of the sounds

Yes fran before you say anything....thats just my opinion :-) its a discussion board , no harm done.

Korg not as good sonically as competitor?

The Tyros 4 doesn't sound so good on this video.



I can find many more of these lousy videos of the Tyros 4. Should I?

no mate that was painful :-)

I dont think he was demonstrating the isntrument though. Find me a poor T4 demonstration ..... i can wait

Better yet find me a great Pa3X one ......i can wait even longer :-) !!!

Read Spalding. You have to wait till April. Then Jurgen from Korg germany will release demo's and also korgpa.com.

And I only want to show that also a Yamaha Tyros 4 sound bad if you use a handycam to record the demo.

so all these other demos werent good because they were played in January and March ? April is the magic month ??? i learned something new today :-) thanks Fran

It wasnt the handy cam that made the yamaha demos sound bad but i would not want to embarrass someone not connected with yamaha or the discussion just to prove my point.

April is the musikmesse 2011 tjeez
Who cares if it was a handycam or not. This just show that you can't judge a keyboard on a bad sounding video.

were all the Korg demos on handicam fran by amatures messing about for fun?

I am so

I know why there is nothing on KorgPA OR any decent demos.
I talked to Frank V. today...what a super guy he is...very knowledgable. And a great friend here for a lot of us.

H was told at NAAM that the Hardware for the PA3X was basically done...BUT the software (sounds/styles/performaces/STS's, songbook etc) WAS NOT COMPLETE.

So they just announced it to get it OUT THERE...that would explain a lot.

KORG SHOULD HAVE TOLD US THIS! Yes, I shouted, Sorry.

Isn't that what I told you already on this forum. I know that from the German forum.
