it is sad that the competition has it. Yamaha Roland It Has. Yes, if I put it there so copying is no longer necessary.

Dear Korgpask,
I completely agree with you,
forgive some english mistakes, but this is not my language.
The Copy function in the korg pa4x is almost completely absent.
I remember that the korg pa1x pro was much better equipped in the copy functions.
These functions are very important because they speed up the work
to build a new and personal style.
I tried to build some new style, but the desire passed immediately
for the length of the functions and the impossibility of speeding up the work.
I hope korg will immediately update with the new features
of function "Copy" updated, otherwise I will be forced to sell Korg Pa4.
Iggy

I'm just going to say it. I miss my Pax3 and sorry I spent the extra bucks for the Pa4. For me, I don't think the extra bucks were worth it for many reasons I don't care to list. I think this forum is very good and there are a lot of people who really help each other and I appreciate that.

I come from a Roland G-70.

Some here sound like the pa3x is a much betther instrument?
Or is us just that it was don’t worth the upgrade?

I’m getting more and more happy with my pa4x because compared to my Roland G-70. A lot has happened all those years...

I’m just not sure if i would go for a pa5x if that would be innovative.

Cheers,
Bart

Hi Bart

Yes, the PA3X was an awesome model IMHO and Korg really did well with its latest OS version.
It was stable and solid. The biggest issue I had was the ridiculous battery pack which was to keep RAM alive after power off (to speed up the start up)
The battery pack expires and expensive to replace - it was a bunch of AA rechargeable batteries taped and linked together - I threw mine out and put up with the longer start up BUT overall, PA3X was a great great model from Korg

I must also add that my PA4X is running perfectly for me in all aspects of my music. I was rapt with my upgrade decision from PA3X to PA4X - I find the new design plus the new and enhanced features far more logical and conducive to playing and recording.

Cheers

Pete

I paid around $3,700 for my Pa4x and sold my Pa3x76 for $1,400. I don't see a $2,300 improvement. This is all me, nothing to do with this forum or people on it. It was my stupid decision to spend this money thinking I was getting this great upgrade, what a mistake. I will never do it again.

I agree with Steve is right on.

Having a pa 3 X and the PA 4 X side by side playing all the sounds piano against piano very little different...
There are some new samples that are nice in the PA 4 X and the sample area is a little larger the pa 3 X...
The harmonizer has been stripped down not as many functions..

yes you're correct too I've been making money and it paid for itself.

I also can't wait to see the successor of pa4x.
But if the PAX 5 is just a small upgrade that'll be the end of it.

again what do I know ... I am still on OS 2.2 and No problems and No restarts, and I don't have a fuzzy blurry screen I could read the words.

Again this is just my opinion who knows what the future brings

Thank for not blasting me. As I said, I think this forum is great as are the people on it who help. I was working at the time and had the money and I am reading on how the new sound engine in the Pa4 is so much better than the Pa3 and I took the bait.

I am retired now and I don't need the money. It's I don't think the difference I paid in cash equals the difference between the 2 keyboards. But this is just my fault, no one on this forum or even Korg. I know they need to make money and they come out with the next model to do so. I just wish it was $2,300 more of upgrades and really better sounds.

If Korg would have come up with a true Hammond and Leslie 122 sound, I would not be complaining.
That's it, I have no further comments on this subject.

Hello

the v3 NEXT version of the Korg pa4x must be reviewed before the Pa4x retires. in addition to the problems raised above, it is necessary:
-Increase the maximum number of samples to increase to more than 25000 samples in order to allow us to use 1.5Gb of RAM.
-Review the sound output quality which remains mediocre compared to the Pa1000 and Pa3x which have clearer and balanced sounds.


Note that a new version of Pa1000 Gold marketed by the company music gear in Leban has as maximum number of samples 26,840 samples. while the more expensive Pa4x only contains 21,000 samples (soundsamples + drumsamples) !!!!!!!!

Several artists in my entourage who own the Pa4x are very discouraged by its two problems and especially when they have learned about the characteristics of the new Pa1000 OR.
They have the feeling that they have been ransacked, and that the objective of the company KORG is only to sell without any confederation of the client's problems !!!!

the v3 NEXT version is a disaster on Pa4x and must be reviewed.

Sorry for my bad english.
