Wow!!! Tempting. Woner if the key bed is dumbed down like the 900 (800 much better). No tilt screen, man do I need that feature. However, for small gigs and small speakers, hmmmm

Wonder what the price is?

PA1000-$1999
PA700-$1299

The 1000 has a pop-up screen.

It has 3 harmony parts, all aluminum shell,kaoss,seperate mp3 volume control, newer upgraded screen midi to style converter,
compatable with all pa models for styles and a lot more, even plays wav files
MEL

The 700 is available now and the 1000 by the end of September is what I was told by my Korg Sales Rep today.
The 700 will have a MAP price of $1299.00 and the Oriental version will MAP at $1499. Th

The 1000 will have a MAP of $1999.00.
Very exciting!!!!

Speaking as a pianist, that "01 - Concert Grand" is rather muddy sounding. On the other hand 10 - Latin Flute has the kind of cha-cha sound I've been looking for since I bought my first car.

I'll probably never do it, but I could see me using that as a supplement/backup keyboard alongside my main axe with all those new styles and extra memory. Between the PA4x and what this 1000 brings to the table, you can't want for anything more.

Did you notice he uses a "Walmart" keyboard stand? I've been vindicated!

I like the way that guy plays. I've watched a lot of his demos. He really knows his apples!

And then we get to the innevitable question: what are the differences between pa700 and pa1000?

So far, I've got:

memroy 600 vs 250 mb
dual player vs single player
tilt screen in pa1000
more buttons on the panel on pa1000
vocal harmonizer (btw is this the old pa2x/pa900 or is it the new pa3x/pa4x?) on pa1000
number of styles and sounds
more powerful speakers in pa1000
aftertouch vs no

What else?

More iumportant, does Pa700 have THE SAME quality of sounds and styles, apart numbers?

Maybe George can share more about these... Pa700 vs Pa1000...

Oh, and what is actually the difference between pa600 and pa700, except for the obvious KAOSS and different panel layout?

i'm also wondering about the main differences between the two models...i know i'll never use the vocal harmony,so in looking at the pa 700,but if its shown that the pa 1000 is significantly superior i'll plump for that....still early days yet...lots more research to do

These are the differences taken from specs in manuals:
