Doesn't seem to be much there besides the VOX V860 volume pedal compatibility, and the Curve presets for the volume/expression pedal, basically the same as the releases for the PA300/PA600/PA900 from a few weeks ago (http://www.korg.com/us/news/2018/0410/).

Hoping that big update for the PA4X still comes soon...

At least KORG is always working to improve and that's a good thing.

They need to fix the fills quirks on the PA1000.

^^^ yes.

Problem with this is that half the people does not acknowledge that problem and the other half say it is not a big deal, you just need to press the button at the right time, so no problem. frown

And so, there are little chances Korg will do anything about it.

There is a learning curve to master any of the features on these machines that goes beyond musicality. Pushing buttons has become a "skillset" in playing modern instruments. Launchpads, sample triggers, fill-ins, etc are all just another group of tools to learn how to use.
With THAT said - Korg "is" a bit more finicky than the rest of the pack. Maybe that's because (IMO) they have more humanized fills than some of the others.
I really think that timing is everything in triggering fills ... on ANY keyboard, but more so with the Korg family. It's like driving a sports car with a sensitive clutch.

The fact that I can safely trigger fills on Yamaha in any moment allows me to use fill of any duration, so it's not only about comfort, but also about creativity.

They haven't fixed my number one complaint, the cut-off endings on many of the styles. Yamaha does it right.

As for fills Yammy does it great I agree compared to others although the EA7 is very good also with fills, endings, etc,....
but no break fill Grrrrr......
