Well, I'm still closer to 70 than 80, but when see so many schoolmates and even younger friends drop like flies, I'm not sure if I dare to wait. Carpe Diem some say.....
If the TOTAL arranger keyboard history will add new models may probably be a big question as well as when or if Korg going to squeeze any new fixes and updates out off the sleeve.

Anyway, so far I'm pretty much happy with the Pa5. But that said, I've not digged too far into the jungle of possibilities and difficulties.
Lot's of new grey hairs may show up quite quick. 😏😁😁😁

Gunnar, how does the acoustic piano compare to the 4x and previous (all the same, ugh). It sounds fantastic in videos. IMO it was always their downfall. I have to use digital pianos on every song and it grows tiring.

Zuki,
to be honest, I'm far from any expert as pianoman in any way, and now that the Pa4 is out of the house,
even before Pa5 came, I have to say that I cannot compare those two. (Even Genos is sold and gone, but G2 is on the way)
At Pa5 the first 5 pianos is Australian Grand, German Grand, Italian Grand, Japanese Grand and Classic Grand.
All sounds a bit different from eachother, but the two first is sharper and clearer than the rest, and Classic has lower 'volume' as is and less room / hall effect.
Sorry that I can't express myself better than this.
But one thing is pretty clear in my ears, the organs at Korg out of the box beats the Yamaha's with great margin. 😁🎶🎵

Taike, it may be the changes I've been going through (Heart operation, Pacemaker, etc.) but I really miss you, little man (probably BIG BOY now), and sweet mom, of course.

Don't think there was a problem, but, from my side, nothing has ever happened to lessen my joy at our interactions.

Please let me know how my "buddies" are going.


All the best,


Russ

Well Gunnar, you're no help! JK. Thanks for the reply. Gonna stick with the 4X for now and practice piano. Happy Holidays

Yeah, I know. That's what everybody tells me. 🤪😏😁😁

Happy Holidays to you and yours as well. 🎄🎵🎹🎶🎄

Hi Russ,

I'll get back to you in a day or two.

Cheers

Taike

Success!!
Thank you Skude, by follow your steps I finally got it sorted out, and now it works at Pa5 as I like to have it.
Great!! 👍


Btw, have you got your G2 delivered?
Mine is delayed, been 'stored' at transportation terminals several days, but now it looks like it will be here tomorrow.
Anyway, still some days before Xmas Holidays, nice to have something to look forward to other than way to much food to gain more weight...😱🥕🥕🥕😁

Hi GJ.
Glad you figured it out. Too bad you haven't got the Genos 2 yet. Mine was sent from the store on the 6th and sent from the main terminal in this country on the 11th. Where to?? I have had good experience with DHL, but this time I have not received an arrival date. I actually have plenty of time. I have a smaller gig on Saturday, and the PA4X will be with me for a long time to come, even with a Genos 2 in my shack. So the future will tell if the Genos 2 will take over, the Ketron did not. Merry Christmas to everyone.
Best wishes from
skude

Hi GJ
Without any information about delivery, I received a phone call from the carrier 2 minutes before delivery. I was gone most of the day with my grandkids (glad I bought the keyboard before that). My wife had to accept the delivery. And there that secret disappeared. I have to spend the evening setting up the genos2. It will surely be a long night.
