Most of the sounds are better on the PA , except the trumpet and Sax and the Brass on the styles, I like the jazz and Funk styles better on the Yamaha, great video.

Thanks JP,
I also saw that video on You Tube, (and have included it directly below in this thread)
Does not sound like he used any of the SA sounds or Audio styles on the Yamaha.
That being said, as for the demos that are provided in the video, the Korg has more punchier styles, especially the drums, while the Yamaha, over all, has better right hand sounds, although the Korg strings were impressive with more warmth and reverb
It would help to know if any editing was performed before recording and were the keyboards EQ'd at all, or were they both played out of the box?
That being said, it was a nice demo, but IMO, not that much of a dramatic difference going on here.

Larry, After listening I can tell he used the Yamaha SA Tenor Sax and there are no audio styles in the PSRS750. I think he chose these two because they are very close in price. The PA600 is $1099 and the PSRS750 is $1199 MAP pricing here in the USA.

Also important to mention is that the big touch color screen on the Korg is much better then the Yamaha screen. The Yamaha sound good but still very weak drums.

I have listened a couple of times, especially because I have an interest in the PA600 - IF it ever shows up - ... I think it's obvious that the KORG drums are more 'live' ... I thought the KORG strings had a more lush sound to them and in general thought the KORG right hand sounds were 'fuller' although I liked the Yamaha Jazz Organ better ... and I REALLY liked the Jazz Style on the Yamaha ... nice intro/outro ... But what do I know ...
This just goes to show... if you don't play ANY sound idiomatically, the sample quality becomes moot. Playing piano or organ licks on a sax or harmonica sound is going to make it sound naff.
And I rather wish he'd played through the variations... The smoothness of transitions from one sector to another is often the telling point in a style. Do they progress naturally? Do the fills join them smoothly? Is there any weirdness in style voices as it jumps to the new section (or fill)?
All in all, as presented, seems a push to me...
