Yes Spalding... Also check out the new MASSIVE track controls options - at about 12.35...Looks much MUCH easier to manipulate all the parameters of style tracks. Similar to the Roland Make-up Tools. Dare I say - maybe even better!!??

Will bear some closer scrutiny when the manual is released..Also some really cool new styles in there too. People, you do need to try and see past the not so stellar sound quality

Just imagine how awesome this is going to sound via a PA. It is getting interesting again

I have not had time to get through all the demos in this set, I am hoping he might give a bit of a demo of the Chord Sequencer in operation too....

Dennis

Best demo till now. I have watch all 5 parts and although the video sound quality isn't that good I now know for sure I will buy the PA3X. Wow what a instrument. Thanks for posting Saswick

excellent! this is a satisfying demo to me regarding the PA 3X!

having read of alot of the posts in this thread from people still not happy with the demos leaves me wondering... did you get past 2 mins of the first video? I am only up to video# 3 so far and I am blown away.

YES the audio and video quality may not be that great but you can still get a good idea of what the keyboard sounds like and what sounds / styles it has.

Dennis:
on the 3rd video at about 2 mins in he plays a style called "ethnic dance" and he does a rendition of Stereo love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Z3YrHJ1sU
he shows off the chord sequencer here in this part... check it out

The GUI also looks to be graphically enhanced and much easier / nicer on the eyes.

the concert guitar DNC sounds soo good. we now finally have a real contender for the SA concert guitar on the Tyros line, along with sax / woodwind and brass.

PA 3X is a winner!

Actually at 2:35 of the 3rd video he utilizes the CS feature.

Oops yep my bad..typo there. Thanks

Dennis, it sounds like you're getting interested in this instrument....really interested.

Would you say it is a worthwhile buy for someone who already has a PA2XPro?

How about a PA1XPro?

Yes, it does sound pretty good (I like the styles, too), but somehow, I can't see a PA2XPro owner making the move on it.

With me, I bought the Tyros4, because I believe (in my opinion) that it is substantially better than the Tyros3, having been lucky enough to have the latter for over a year on my sample account. Also, I was buying from scratch; I did not presently own an instrument.

If I had owned a T3, the decision would have been much harder, although, I suspect I'd still sell it and get the Tyros4.

I know you will only know your direction clearly when you have played and spent some time on the PA3XPro, but, are you considering getting one more strongly than say, a month ago?

Why not get a Kronos and use it with your PA2XPro?

I can't see the Roland BK-7M being good enough to replace the arranger features in your present instrument...sure, it would be nice hooked up to a Kronos, but I can't see the style engine being even close to what you have now.

Interesting times for sure.

Hi Ian,

It sort of waxes and wanes. I hear informative demos like this, and I think well why not, but then the more pragmatic side takes over and says well it is not that much different.

However what has my interest piqued is not so much the sounds it's the actual OS itself. looks like Korg have done a real number on it going by some of the tools exposed in these demos, and the CS...

Actually I COULD have got one of the only three to land in Oz in July, and I was just that close to plonking down the deposit...but in the end I didn't...

By now I would suggest all three units have been bought.

Yes I am more interested, but still only at 60/40. But I will repeat what I have maintained all along, for a PA1x owner the upgrade to a PA3 is a no-brainer, same goes for a new Korg owner...for a PA2x owner...not so sure.

Korg still have not ruled out some form of OS candy hand-me-down for the PA2. Not expecting anything, but you never know.

Dennis

Hard to judge while listening in a foreign language, with a too dark video, and poor audio. Hopefully an English version will be available and have a better production.

That said , Thanks for the links Saswick, the P3 looks like it will be a fabulous keyboard, and the CS is a really nice feature.

Any word on the MSRP?

Tell you what, I will play all 5 again with my eyes shut and I tell you what I think of it,this is perhaps how all demos should be played in the dark, but we can't trust folks, someone might not be playing what they say they are and it's nice to see the thing too! Maybe I need to go to Specsavers, audio and visual depots, Larry, Scott, Implus, can come too. Look, we all know that korg don't make tosh KB we will leave that for others to do, I have a PA2x I know, but come on guys, there are better demos by SZ memebers than this.
