I know, it's just marketing again. Calculating over 10 years and incorporating all kinds of costs, it's quite meaningless. For us the only useful criterion is evaluating the demos with our own ears, and, if possible, testing it right on the instrument (which could be difficult). 499 Euros could be worth it if the package were an add-on to existing sounds, but this complete replacement of Korg sounds is a real issue.
It was first offered as an add-on for existing Korg models but somehow ran counter to the interests of Korg itself and I don't think many were sold. Then they decided to change course and went into a kind of joint venture with the Medeli keyboard company using the hardware of their Medeli A800 model to house this package, at least I presume it is virtually the same packaage. It is now known as the Max Live. Apparently sales did not do well ( if they ever got going at all) and now there is this renewed PA offer. Other than their demos etc. which you can all hear for yourselves I cannot judge their software/sounds but I think it pretty farfetchec that a PA600 owner, let alone a PA3X owner would oust all of his sounds etc. to be replaced by the Deebach package. As mentioned here, if it were an add-on and considerable less expensive it might be a viable proposition, as it stands it is doomed for failure imho. I know those who created this software have gone a long and winding road but it could well turn into a dead end..............

As they say, this is a new version of the sound package. When they presented the Deebach Max a few months ago (the keyboard using the body shell of a Medeli), they also demoed newly developed pianos etc., which are obviously part of the new package. Somebody asked about a module solution on their Facebook page some time ago, they answered they were checking options for a module...
To bad they stopped with the Xanadu Organ.. which was based on pa3x... would love to see some pa4x magic from them, sadly the PA4x expansion memmory is to small for any real huge packages, espescially since they cancelled the compression of the pa3x.
