Had a rehearsal tonight with my band and I said nothing about the V3 upgrade.
We play a massive variety of old and new songs a couple of which are hits by Crowded House like "Don't Dream It's Over" with its classic B3 Hammond solo...
As sonn as we finished the song I was asked what I had done to the organ sound - they thought it was so improved - I admit that when I actually went into the solo I also noticed how nice (different) the V3 DRAWBAR organ is - more full and authentic.

...and Korg have fixed the PA4X DRAWBAR bug!!!!!

Can't exactly describe it but I think the total sound is different in a good way.
Other feedback:-
We use the VH extensively and that too seems to be better in regard to volume balance and lead/harmony volume flexibility.
Sounds have improved too - some of our styles played tonight were surprisingly better sound-wise.
All my sample sounds are working fine so far.

This update rocks!!!!

Pete

Excluding a few teething problems which I'm sure korg will address... I agree with you there Pete about the improvements with V3 and I'm glad you mentioned about "total sound is different in a good way" i have noticed this also.. i did wonder if i was imagining this... assuming this is correct? it would be interesting to know how that was achieved just from a technical curiosity point of view... So all in all very good and i like the new Gi alot.

That's good to hear.

I've noticed a definite improvement in the Vocal Harmony section. Less distortion and more clarity. Plus as you say, the balance is much much better.

As far as the drawbars go, I'm not a big fan. I can't stand the default Noise settings when you go into the Drawbar mode. And the Leslie, even with adjustment, sounds like a vibrato on fast speed and not a doppler effect. Comparing it next to my Nord Stage 3, it doesn't come close.

However, overall the keyboard does sound much better and runs much smoother. The improvements to the MAXX EQ section must account for the sound changes.

After my update to v3 I found the sounds to be fuller and noticeably better.
Except Ballard Strings and Ballard Strings DNC.
Give em a two handed bootfull of chord, hold that and listen... Drop the volume peddle down. Try headphones as this brings it real in close.
With mine, after the update, they have an unfortunate glitching jumpy tone. It stands out a mile to me.
I reverted back to v2 .2 and this issue goes away.

My fathers Pa4x does the same now also on v3.. I hope someone.else detects this fault and maybe korg.can fix.it.in.a.future update

After a false start with the update which has taken me the last day to sort out I have now spent enough time with the Organ Revamp in version 3.

My impressions are favourable of the new layout but why the hell have Korg decided to delete the adjustable Harmonic Percussion Volume ???

It is now preset between Soft and Hard, Korg speak for Soft and Loud but both settings are not authentic to the real thing, previously you could set the Percussion Volume exactly as you wanted it and this aspect is in my view a backward step.

Next up is the last two high drawbars 1. 1/3 and 1. For some reason when compared with Version 2 these two drawbars are too low in volume and dont seem to play correctly over the range you would expect, also when Percussion is selected it should cut out the 1ft drawbar.

This is not a bug but as Korg intended but nonetheless should be put right in the next update.
