DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	There is an excellent series of lessons on Youtube on the PA4X. I actually prefer to have the manual on PC, rather than have to flip pages! As far as the black and low light, I find it helpful to plug a small USB light into the front USB port. It illuminates most of the keyboard! _________________________ DonM

Manualls work best on an Ipad (or any other tablet) for me... almost like a book, but adds easy searching _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Ah yes 'the system' - let me know when you've worked out how to save the changes you might want to make during playing a song to the Korg equivalent of panel memories which I think is called 'performance'. I bought the Korg microarranger 'The Liverpool' at the Keyboard Cavalcade and still haven't got to the bottom of that one. _________________________ Roger M

The best I have owned since the KN7000. Bernie _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

I like the new system a lot personally. Others miss doing it the old way. I know John Smies was really unhappy about it. _________________________ DonM

john smies Senior Member Registered: 05/05/00 Posts: 1384 Loc: koudekerke, Holland.	I was Don. So much really that it was ONE of the reasons for selling my SECOND PA4X and getting back a PA800. I say one of the reasons because due to several circumstances I do not play the keyboards as much as I used to. Subsequently I found the total investment too high a price to pay. For the same amount of money spent on a basic PA4X ( bugs included )I now have a Korg PA800, Ketron SD1plus ( bought last week), Yamaha P-80 piano, Martin acoustic guitar, Greg Bennett acoustic guitar and a Syrincs M3-220 DT active monitor set. Go figure is what the Americans would say, I believe................. Nevertheless there is no denying that the PA4X sounds and styles are excellent and that many of you will undoubtedly enjoy their purchase. I know you do Don, and I enjoyed the recordings on it that you made available to us all. Still, like I said, I am really quite happy without the 4X. regards, John
