I got my first shipment today and I couldn't wait to try one out.
Everything about this keyboard is a great value. The semiweighted keys feel very good and of course the tCHelicon vocal harmonizer works great.
I've installed an sd card into the back covered slot so I can use this media or the usb media or both.
This keyboard really gives the Yamaha PSRS-950 a run for it's money!

Hi George, have you seen the problems "Uncle" Dave is having with the voice processor.

Do you notice the same problem?

Graham, as I just reported on the post Uncle Dave started, I can use both mic and input at the same time.

Korg has an OS update on the KorgPA site for the PA900. One of the problems addressed has to do with the vocal stuff.

Deane

George, I wished I could have stayed a few more days in CA to be able to check out the PA 900. But thanks so much for the great demonstration of the PA 600 that you gave us the other day. I was very impressed and so was my wife ( and she doesn't get impressed easily by keyboards... )

Deane,
This is crazy! I saw your post and downloaded and loaded in the new update and now I can't use the two inputs for two different sources at the same time! This is nuts. I was using it for several hours today and after the operating system 1.01 and the factory reset file 1.01 I can't do it anymore..............I'm going to have to email italy on this one!

George ... China, not Italy.

The box says designed in Italy ... Built in China. Wish they put the good harmonizer in. This is so sad ....

Really? Did you get a clear, solid sound that compliments your tone? I couldn't. I played 4 hours tonight and feel like I'm hoarse because of the sound. It was like a sock was on the mic. Heeeeeeeeelp!!!!'

Dave,
the design team for these pa products are all still in Italy. I sent Francesco an email tonight asking him to email me the original operating system and restore files. Are you using 1.0 or 1.01 in yours? My vocals sounded perfectly clear to my ear, but I'm no singer!

I should get my PA900 today but until I hear more from Korg about that 1.01 update I'lll keep the 1.00 OS version. I don't sing so the VH is not a biggy for me but I'll play around with it and see what I get too.

Deane

So they don't provide the OS in the box?

Korg is great with free updates online. It's so easy to stay current.

Graham,
The keyboard comes with an installed OS like all others. This is an OS update provided by Korg for the PA900.

Deane

I received a reply this morning from Korg Italy.
It was explained to me that because the owners manual on page 264 says that there are only two options:
1) mic input from L and R is disabled
2) left and right aux inputs for line level only
Korg Japan had asked the Italian team to upgrade the software so that it only does what the owners manual states.
Version 1.0 does allow the use of mic and aux input at the same time but version 1.01 changes this to what the manual says it should do.
I have requested back to Italy that they communicate with Japan and put this option back in the next software revision along with an addendum to the owners manual which would make everybody happy.
So, any of you with version 1.0 can use both inputs and if you've made a change, as I did, it's gone!

George,
That is good news. Even though I don't sing I think I'll leave the V1.00 in place until more new is released about any newer OS update.

Thanks,
Deane

LOL... that's bloody ridiculous! Korg Japan ask for something BETTER than their manual says it should do removed..!

Just how far up their backsides have these guys got their heads? How much easier it would have been to simply release a new MANUAL! But no... these guys actually have their design team put together a whole new OS.

I want the old one back!
George, when you get it ... Please post it here for all of us!
