I wonder how successful the PA4X will be? On the Korg forums it is not being raved about very much. Owners of the PA3X seem to believe there has not been enough change to upgrade ie-spend the monty.

We hear this every time a new model comes out. The most vocal are always the same ones, and they probably wouldn't be in the market anyway. Most of what we have heard so far is just that: hearsay. Once legitimate users get their hands on them we'll see the rest of the story, good or bad. I think I have learned my lesson at last about buying from the first production batch. I'll let somebody else do the beta testing this time. I think DNJ has one on order.
My 2 cents, I had Pa2xPro, then moved to another arranger I think it may have been a T4. Lost track of dates but when the Pa3x was released even with all the hype it never got my interest enough for me to even demo one.................than about a year after the release of the Pa3x I stopped in to visit Frank at AudioWorks, he had one in stock I played it, then 2 days later I placed an order for one. I love reading the hype about new arrangers, I would never rule buying or not buying one based on hype. For me until I can get my hands on one I take the hype or lack of hype with a grain of salt.
