Donny,

You only need buy a Wersi Wing and the World will be your oyster, flexible as American express card, all the KBs you ever dreamed of all rolled into in one. Well that's what they say, if that's true why don't we all have one. Unfortunately, I can't post you a link to someone playing one, the few that have been sold not to SZers, "interesting", at least this is not off topic, or is it!!! Is the Wesri Wing off topic on SZ General Arranger, there is only one man who can tell us.

Have you ever thought of buying one Mi old shipmate??? you will never look back Donny, it will play itself, it's that good.

MattyB,

I am looking forward to your vidoes, I don't think there as been a SZ member who has bought a Pa3x do any demos, this will be a first, I think if I had not bought the T4 I would have a Pa3x it's one of the best made KB ever, its a hell of an engineering job. Good luck with it this all sounds very positive and thats what we need, thanks for posting MattyB you might turn out to be my new shipmate my old ones either jumped ship, gone down into steerage or stoking the boilers

Korg is the future.

Donny,

What makes you say that, it's a sweeping statement, I know it is good but the Tyros 4 will take some beating for sounds and styles and Yamaha could wipe the floor with Korg, the number of T4 sold would put the Pa3x to shame Donny. Give us your angle on it Donny...

Tony

just because something sells more doesn't make it better.

those plastic bic pens could wipe the floor with Sheaffer & Waterman in terms of sales. Nothing wrong with a Bic pen, but most end up chewed, passed onto the delivery driver and end up in a landfill.

Am I comparing these pen brands to keyboard brands? well if i were - and i am not saying i am, you decide which is which

A sweeping statement with no actual proof Tony...when someone shows me actual sales figures for both companies, then I'll believe it; other than that, it's pure conjecture.

But, I am very glad I bought the Yamaha Tyros4...there does seem to be a plethora of videos of it on YouTube, so that could indicate it's great popularity (certainly the majority of member's uploads here on SZ are done on Tyros4) and it is a very intuitive instrument to play with tons of factory (and third party) support.

All I can say, if my clinics/demos are any indication, the Tyros4 is still selling quite well in my territory...I don't have any info about other places. The salespeople I work with tell me that only a few PA3X's were sold since it's introduction, but that may have a lot to do with differences in promotion policies, as they (Korg) don't do any follow-ups or in-store clinics in my area.

Bottom line? What brand arranger we buy will usually depend on what sounds and styles we want to hear coming from our speakers, what we want in an operating system, the quality of support, portability (if we gig) plus, of course, our budget.

The "best" arranger, in my opinion, is the one that "works best for the player"...both Korg and Yamaha make excellent instruments, so saying that one company is going to be "the future" is just plain silly...it's like predicting what football or baseball team will win next year, although we all hope our "favorite team" will win.

Donny is a Korg user (PA-500) and fan, so it's very predictable that he hopes they will win.

I say we are all winners, because the intense competition between these companies has given us better instruments, and features we could only dream of several years ago.

Nailed it, Ian!
