First the totally underwhelming Genos 2, and now a very underwhelming OS update for the PA5.

Chuck · Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2023 10:01 pm Post subject: PA5 not the same builders

I've had all of the arrangers except the 5 for this reason. My sense and from what I've heard from others, the 5 was built by entirely different previous builders. Most of the original builders left the company during COVID and took their experience with them. With all the previous Korg Arrangers, there were a few "starter" problems but they were quickly fixed. These new guys just don't have the savvy it takes to get this 5 working the way we players want. Chuck, Ohio, USA

Yep ^^^^^ this...

This one was designed primarily for those sound programmers with a direct ear at Korg, and meant to keep everyone else happy - with the company attitude of "...see, there ya go, we do give you updates"

I mean, none of them affect , in my view, real world live players and neither for those home players happy to just play 2 and three finger chords and are happy with factory setups sounds and styles.

But yeah, I agree, it'll be European/USA summer before the next one, MAYBE even to coincide with the next NAMM, but I wouldn't';t hold out much hope for that.

If what Chuck says is true about the tech skills leaving Korg, it would explain a lot. Probably now got "tech-heads" and IT programmers working on it and not a musician anywhere haha!
