Tbh, Korg haven’t added anything for the last two models that I would take in preference to a boatload of insert effects and a multipart chord sequencer.

You want something that radically changes the overall sound? Enough inserts to be able to effect all style AND keyboard voices is probably the one thing that will achieve that...

Korg will definitely have an uphill battle making us migrate from the very capable PA4X without something pretty earth shattering on the next model. As we have talked about before, the current model just seems so ‘end of line’.

I went with a pa1000 since it is half the price of Pa4x and many of the features. Still have a PA3x and it is still in use on gigs.
New model won’t phase me, but interested in software that is compliant with the Korg arrangers.
I think a Virtual keyboard will be on the horizon!

Wait for it, wait for it! Anticipation is half the fun... So I've been told
(Quote from Phil Collins)

But in all seriousness i tend to agree with Korghelper...to shift me also from the PA4X I would need to see Somthing pretty earth shattering... and of course still retaining the best of PA4X but with a lot more horsepower which would help achieve much of what (repeat) has has been discussed before in and around this forum...time will tell.

Looks like my assumptions where all wrong

Korg is doing a livestream on the pa4x and all it has to offer on 15. July 2020..

Which would indicate, the pa4x is still going strong for Korg?

Next year ?

Maybe even 2022 ?

(A) Perhaps a departure from new model time line refresh rates might indicate a greater development behind the scenes ?

(B) Or could it be the new trend with longer production runs of product which include more software updates ?

(C) Or was (B) the plan from the start with PA4X to keep sales interest strong while (A) is taking place ?

All speculation of course...........

What feature impressed with Pa4x/pa700/pa1000 is the ability to add styles with the usb direct.

I am looking forward to Bluetooth LE built in to connect to iPad. A feature in (think Havalin?) pianos and I know the Roland GoKey/piano has. Been using this feature with my iPad since the PA1x, but have To use Bluetooth over midi hardware externally. Like Yamaha ud-Bt01, md-bt01...Quicco mi.1 which was my first one. Now CME is releasing a Widi Master in July...say it does not need pad or pc to connect...?

I use this hardware to control my Korg pa with iPad...especially The songbook with SongBook Plus. A good way to concentrate on performing and less on the Korg controls and screen which I no longer monitor. For years the monitor/monitor size meant nothing when performing.

With PA4X and Kronos both due replacements imminently could Korg follow Rolands latest approach where Rolands unifying technology allow ZEN-Core sounds to be shared between different Roland hardware—and even between hardware and software?......

You are screwed if Korg follow Roland's approach...

They have basically stopped developing arrangers..!
