Tony ... Where do YOU find this stuff???

It's just rolls off Tony..

I just returned from my first KORG PA500 Gig and I can truly say it was a big success! Coupled with the New Behringer Xenyx 1002 FX mixer this is a great sounding setup for Music & Vocals…..btw if anyone has this mixer try FX setting 91 rev/short slap back delay, Ch 1 mic FX at 1oclock, master at 12 o’clock for a great vocal effect… I started the set a bit apprehensive as first time with any KB makes you hold back a little just to make sure wheat your doing, getting familiar with the navigation, making sure style parts Vol levels are correct, making edits on the fly & writing them as I’m playing here & there…but all in all the PA500 really did a good job sound wise thru my Mackie Pa system, I’m very happy I bought it…each following gig will bring more confidence & fine tuning until its perfect in every way to my standards & liking…there was a standing ovation at one point in the show also ……the PA800 vs the S950 which are both good but very different in sound… Live vs CD..the KORG really has a LIVE sound & feel to it as if your playing with a REAL Band backing you up drums, bass, etc, are outstanding as are the sequence order of the variations which add just a little more to each as it builds up to the end of the song……adding certain seq loop multi-pads are a hugh plus also…anyway so far so good……fun to play…as I said earlier I just set it up for my basic performance now, but in a few weeks I’ll have this baby so fine tuned and 100% ready to kick butt....to be continued………

Killed it at last nights GIG....this KB sounds AWESOME

Pa500 & Me...Perfect Together...

I'm loving the Pa500.....Most KORG factory and other PA model styles work very well.....also Ketron SD1 & Roland G70 Style conversion are terrific too....Yamaha conversions are terrible at best too bad..I now have the best of three worlds and plenty enough styles to cover anything that needs to be covered. That mixed with the excellent navigational feature layout of the Pa500 & Custom Song Book is a players dream......editing, is a big plus too....using the backing sequencer to record songs is so easy..The sequencer provides massive editing power - you can even edit the tone parameters of each track. I never gave my Pa800 a chance a while back,... BUT, I'm so glad I returned to the KORG arranger KB family, actually I was a KORG guy for many many years in the 70's 80's, synths and arrangers as now I know it's perfect for MY arranger KB needs. It's fun to play & perform on stage & gets your creative juices flowing.
Enjoy what you play.
