Please enlighten me on why this is any better sounding then the previous Pa2x pro?...Yes it's good to an extent, but in all honesty in no way a mind blowing improvement in sound & styles IMO? Feature wise I give Korg a +1......otherwise some old PAish arranger. I'm disappointed by All these demos so far...maybe my thoughts will change when & if I ever get a chance to find one and actually play it myself.. I have to agree with you, Donny...this demo, although a tad better than what we've already seen, only appears to confirm that the PA3Xpro isn't much of an improvement over the PA2Xpro. I can see in Frans's case, where he is going from a PA-500 to a PA3Xpro...that is like going from a PSR-S710 to a Tyros3...there will be substantial differences, considering the instruments are at completely different levels in the product line. Hey, if someone thinks they sound great and better, that's fine with me...as we always agree, sound is subjective, but I really can't hear much difference sonically between PA2Xpro and PA3Xpro from the posted demos. Yes, definitely more features, but, I can't see (hear) where there is a markedly improved sound, and, in fact, this is supported by several long term Korg users, some of which feel the instrument is actually a step backwards sonically. Maybe with better demos, or, as you say, actually playing one through a good set of speakers or headphones will change people's minds. For Korg's sake, I hope so. Ian

Nice video, very good player, and it seems like a great board, but will we ever see a Pax3 Video of someone playing standards, or 50's, 60's and 70's?
Would love to hear Peg Of My Heart, All I Have To Do Is Dream, Stairway To Heaven, Sentimental Journey, or anything similar... nothing elaborate, something simple, so I can hear what I, and perhaps many [most?] players on this forum play.
Anyway appreciate the video link, just not my 'style'

Actually, the Tyros4 was very well received, and I have read or heard very little negativity about it. The percentage of totally satisfied users is very high, indeed.
The Tyros3 was criticized much more, and perhaps it had as much to do with the way the instrument was launched, as well as the issues that early users found (that were completely eradicated with OS updates).
The "negativity" about the PA3Xpro is mostly due to Korg's seeming reluctance to produce a professional grade demo...I'm sure they must be able to find an arranger player at least nearly as good to demo as Martin Harris with the great number of PA-series that we are told were sold.
The PA3Xpro may be a much finer arranger than we are seeing...so why the hesitancy(?) on the part of Korg to showcase this allegedly impressive instrument?
It does not make sense.

A demo from me?
On this forum?
With all the negativity concerning the PA3X.
I don't think so. Frans, You don't have to post here, if you feel uncomfortable, but I, for one, would love to hear you play, and would be very interested in how it sounds. You could send it to me privately. Ian
