You can play one but you can't spell one.
Great sound Gary. It's great we have so many wonderful choices in arrangers.

Where's Fran with the Roland?

Hope you don't mind me chipping in. Thought it might be interesting to compare the old Pa800 with the new Pa900.

Style Latin Bolero 94 BPM

Recorded directly on the P800 using on board recorder and harmonizer.

The vocal's a bit shaky but I'm getting old and it was a quick recording.

Col,......Excellent job on a Classic Beatles song.
Thanx for your comparison amazing what a simple Bolero style can bring out !!

Thank's a lot Donny, after listening to your demo this morning I thought there must be a similar Bolero style on the Pa800. Having found it I was going to play something but I haven't used the Pa800 much since I bought it and I'm severely out of practice so I thought I'd try a vocal.

The Pa800 hasn't an MP3 recorder fitted as standard so I bought the Dual MP3 card from a guy in over there in the State's and this was my first attempt using it. I also used the on board VH which to my ears didn't sound to bad. It might be interesting to do the song again using the VLT2 for the harmony.

Nice to see you back using a Korg, it seems a long time since you had the Micro-Arranger.

All the best

Col

Thanx Col...I will always be grateful for all your KORG help when I was in a hurry to set up the KMA Micro. You were always there for me ...I still use many of your tips & tricks when I set up my PA3x & Now PA900.Good luck with your KORG PA800 it can really do some amazing things once you "Dig In"...
Don't be a stranger we need you here!!

Hey Colin,

Nice to see you back on the keyboard. That classic John Lennon song was very well done. Didn't think the vocal was at all shaky. A few weeks ago I got very excited as I was able to download all the Korg PA 800 styles converted to Yamaha. I've always wanted an 800 or 900 since renting a PA 800 a couple of years ago. I liked the convenience of onboard harmony and a lot of the unplugged styles. When I got all those styles I thought I was getting a free Korg. Alas, too good to be true. There were way to many quirks especially in the styles I wanted most. So I still have that Korg void in my life although I still have my PA 80. I noticed that a lot of the PA 80 styles are still around on the 800 and 900. Keep in touch my friend.

God Bless,
Don

Don the best style conversions IMO to KORG aren't from Yamaha, .......
I would say most Ketron & Roland G70 styles can be converted and adapted, tweaked, etc, into usability most times on Korg Arrangers. There is an abundance of Korg Styles out there from all over the world, Korg also has offered players many free Bonus styles, updates, resources for FREE over the years.

Hi Guy's

I just re-recorded the same song but using the Voice Live Touch 2 with a couple of tweaks in the style using a string pad and a tad faster. I also used the Zoom R16 for the recording.

Interesting to see what you think
