There is only one thing lower now than the price your KMA and there on a male snake. rotf2 I do hope you sell it it's the end on a era for us all, we can get back to some normality, bounce, did I say normality.

Tony

I am totally on board with you John. It's a $499 arranger ... what do people expect they are getting for that price ... the keybed doesn't matter at that price. I have played much more expensive keyboards that also have a crappy feel. Just trigger it from a master keyboard if you need to but the fact that it does have a keyboard and can be used stand alone is awesome. Anyone that that isn't interested at all simply should stop posting to these threads ... we simply don't care what you think. Why do you bother telling us your opinion. Do you really think we care what you think when you aren't even interested? And why should we be.

Tony maybe if you had bought the KMA rather than the Audya that you have bitched so much about you would be happier now.

Hi Guys

I feel I have to put my two penny (Cents for most of you) worth in. As I said in a previous post I have used the Micro at two gigs already and the small keys are absolutely no problem at all, in fact I am beggining tp prefer them (Yes Tony I said prefer them) to the full sized ones. The sound through my PA is no better but certainly no worse than the Pa2x. All in all I am very happy with it. The Pa2x will be on eBay after it's had it's LED's replaced courtesy of Korg (Well out of warranty viva la Korg)



I WILL post some demo's when I have time afer talking to Scott and Tony on Skype eMailing John Smies, giging, refurbishing my newly aquired narrow boat, eating,sleeping..........

I'm off to watch Andy Murray in the Australian open live now, bye for now.

Regards

Col

I think there was pure brilliance demonstrated with Korg's repackaging of 10 year old technology into a cool little instrument that appears to have sparked (one might even say "exploded") the interest of quite a few SZ'ers, with some defending it quite passionatly.

It's certainly is well worth $499.

You must be at least considering getting one, are you Nigel?

Tony, you must realize that this mini arranger has captured the hearts (and fingers) of quite a few SZ'ers...Fran even removed his from ebay, and will probably be gigging with it in the near future.

Donny isn't having any better luck than Fran did on ebay, so he'll be doing much the same, unless someone here will gladly take it off his hands.

I think it's great to see so much interest in arrangers...sometimes you have to start small in order to sell more of the big 'uns, and, so far, it appears to be working (the "small" at least).

Maybe you could interest Donny in your Audya? wink He was already considering a 48 lb PA-1X, so weight wouldn't (shouldn't) be an issue, and he's always praising up the Audya's great "live" sound.

Ian, apparently you do not sell often on Ebay... smile

You are measuring success by the number of bids...wrong.

When a sale is offered correctly on Ebay... a bid is a sale..and the bid usually comes in the last minute of the auction...

What people do not see ..are the number of watchers and questions and offers sent to the seller...

Here are some facts...my Micro had 7 watchers and I had 4 offers to buy from as low as $420, and multiple trade offers..

My auction was a success, even by removing the item from auction... smile

Oh goody, for you, Fran.

I figured it would have been a success if it what you intended to sell was actually sold.

At least that's what we call "success" here on Cape Breton Island.

hi Col. Saswick: smile
Though I'm not sure I'd go as far as 'preferring' the KMA micro keys over the Pa2x full sized keys (or my Tyros 4 smaller keys), I concur that the micro keys are far more enjoyably playable than I ever imagined prior to getting my microARRANGER.
Played as a full piano, forget about Rachmoniff or Liszt repertoire, , but playing the micro keys in auto accomp arranger mode is no problem and enjoyable and fun. I also have no problem adapting back to playing my Tyros 4 and even the much larger and far heavier keys of my Steinway Acoustic Grand either.

I too have begun to utilize the KMA for not only parties but small casual paying gigs as well. Everyone, both clientele and audiences are impressed with the microARRANGER played and heard with basically "out of the box" factory settings, with vol balances (via physical sliders) easily adjusted on the fly. smile
Contrary to what some others may be saying, I'm very impressed with the Korg microARRANGER's "out of the box" sound, and I believe Donny Pesce's impressive micro ARRANGER demos, so quickly recorded by him simply using the KMA's "out of box" factory setting, and only a couple of days after he got it, supports this. clap
