Its looks big and heavy but nice to see new arrangers coming to market.

The link was deleted from Korg..

What's going on?

but the picture still there

Korg Pa 4X

[i]

From the specs i have seen so far, it seems more like a PA3x plus.

Same style engine
Slightly upgraded sound engine, but the improtant features that make the Kronos stand out did not make it to PA4x (sample streaming, piano damper and string resonance)
And the whole PCM memmory is a whopping 400 MB with another 400 Mb for user samples.

We have to see how this works out for the soundquallity..

But Korg italy did not use the technical advantage Korg has with their Kronos in the PA3x..

Maybe its just me, but they are again using the same old hardware (as all other arranger manufactorers) to maximize proffits.

I guess nothing more than what Yamaha did from T4 to T5. But, we will see.

which would mean that none of the Kronos/Krome grand pianos are implemented in the same quality without loops. However, as I found out, the better M3 piano with its 128 MB sounded very similar.
But obviously Korg doesn't try to come close to Kronos dimensions here; it is also inferior to the Yamaha MoXF specs with its 700+ MB preset sounds plus up to 2 GB flash user samples.

but then as everyone keeps ugrading for only minor advancements, why would they invest in new technollogy?
