I just ordered pa600.

Good luck ...cant wait also..!

I know.It will go great with my bk5.I used to have pa3x when it came out.But, it was too much for me.At that time I had voicelive2 and I didn't want to play all the time anymore.I had my third kid and my day job expanded so I had to chose.

But I gotta have something to play and with Korg I am pretty familiar.I think this is just what I need.

This will be first time to have two arrangers at the same time.I like working with two keyboards,but it was always arranger and a workstation.I was going to sell BK5,but I am really hooked up on those Roland styles.

NICE ... Comme Prima Bossa ... interesting
It would have been nice if the demo showed the actual changes to the screen as the voices were changing ...

Frank ... when are they coming in ... I'm getting anxious to try this board ...

Very nice. Sounds a lot like its big brother.

Yep, good family resemblance. Nice. A good friend of mine has been playing 'Wave' for many years. For some reason it seems to be one of the lesser played bossas. Such a pretty tune.

Hi Folks

I've been thinking of getting the Korg PA600. from what I've heard I do like the sounds and styles a lot.

"Problem" is, the more I hear of the PSRS950 I am sorta leaning in that direction. I find the styles and sounds very polished and professional.

I havent heard the strings yet from the Yamaha, but the pianos, organs and brass sound great.

I am basing my opinion on video demos only and I have not heard these arrangers live.

Just my opinion.

Frank, you can get a lovely "Strings" patch on Yamaha PSR-S950 (or S910) by layering Live! Strings with Strings in the Legacy section, both volumes at 100 and panning each to taste...it's a very rich, lush sound that is not to "mushy" if you get my meaning.

Good luck with whatever brand you choose.

Ian

Thanks Ian for that info.

I may be stepping back into Yamaha country again, soon I hope.

Of course I will still hang on to my G70, very heavy and old

but a serious keyboard, like the Hammond B3.

Frank

The 950 sounds great but there is also a marked difference in price is there not?

Hi everyone! This is my first post!

Mirza... "I know.It will go great with my bk5..."

Could you give us more comparisons, besides styles, between the Bk-5 and the PA600, like keybed, sounds, ease of use...

I haven't made my choice between these two since I didn't have a chance to try them. The Pa600 seems to offer more but I would like to know your appreciation. Thanks!
