Regarding the PCM sound waveROM increased by the factor 10 to more than 2 GB, it's not a baby step, but an explosion wink

This new Korg sounds great (like all Korg arrangers) but not much new under the hood. I think that most of the increased waveRom is for the Kronos Grand Piano.

Probably, that was the case with the Krome, too, compared with the M50. 2 GB spent for the grand piano, several hundred MB for e-pianos, and not much for brass, strings, woodwinds etc. I hope it's distributed a bit more evenly here.

It sounds very good, but to be honest, so does the pa3x..

And it adds some new things, but there is also a lot of things stepping back from pa3x

- expansion PCM drops from 512 to 400 MB, there is no more build in lossless compression
- which removes backward compatibillity to pa3x (compressed)expansion sets
- there is no 2nd keyboard split
- there is only a single insert effect shared by the 4 keyboard parts
- there is no more motorised tilting screen
- where the pa3x was much cheeper then the T5, this one is more expensive

In the end, the pa4x is a mixed bag of feelings...

Weight is 13.9 kilograms for the 61-key version. Too heavy for my taste.
