I just listened to this (both demos) 3 times with my beyerdynamic DT 770MR phones.With the exception of a couple poorly chosen lead voices....I think the PA3 sounds superb, even without dircet audio recording on the demos.
There is much more to say...but I am still in a mode that is neutral to it.
This is not IMHO, a PA2XPRO with a few tweaks...it has lots of potential. Quesion is how does it really sound live and...how good are the voices THAT I care about??
Lee, I agree the PA3Xpro may not potentially be a PA2Xpro with a few tweaks, but it seems a bit difficult to tell from what has been shown/heard on-line. I've listened to demos of both, and I'm still not quite convinced, although there are some great new voices and styles, to be sure.
I suppose the only way you will know for sure is to actually spend some quality time playing a PA3Xpro, and it looks like your wish will come true in May.
That is good news indeed.
I am looking forward to your impressions of the instrument.
