personally I thought the demo genre music was
a bit to young for this audience?..
especially if you want to sell the product

thoughts?

Hi Donny,

From your entry on the Korg forum I deduce that you have ( once again ?) purchased the Korg PA1000. Whether that is a wise decision or not is not for me to say and for you to find out.
But having had it for over 18 months now ( though I do not play the arranger keyboard very often anymore) I can say this:
Factory default stuff is pretty crappy, no surprises there. You of all people know that you have to tweak and make a keyboard your own, and besides it is not your first Korg, so you should be well versed there.
In the course of time I have added a fair amount of external samples ( apart from the very good piano sample by Reuben) from Dynamix and Mister Music. Recently I also acquired the proper Musikant extension stick ( so not just the styles) which I thik is a very worthwhile addition even though it does not come that cheap. ( Thomann Music and Music Store, 199 euros).
And I am contemplating of adding the V3 module later on this year. If I do I will keep you guys posted on its merits.......
In short, fully "jazzed up" the PA1000 is a worthwhile contendor with the added bonus of having full internal amplification....
Enjoy !

regards
John

I found it pretty well done, better if I understood German. The musical content was 50/50 for me. The Broadway opener was quite a production.

John Thanx for all the information I will look into it once my
Pa700 arrives and I set it up like I did with my Pa1000, Pa4x, etc,etc, units...like I said in a previous post I chose the Pa700 this time because I needed it's features for my needs now
vs the Psr S670 which I enjoyed playing but needed more..

Donny, my mistake, I thought it was a PA1000 you had purchased.
Differences have been explained at length here so I am not going into those again. The Musikant extension is also available for the PA700 version and is 149 euros to the best of my knowledge.
And of course even if the RAM memory is less you can still fill her up with some external samples,starting with the much acclaimed piano sample by Reuben, which no doubt you have already done....

regards,
John
