Lets start with a great video of a great product…

https://youtu.be/jRS9DzxwBmE

Thank you Bonners, you allways have great objective video’s..


I spend most of my days watching video’s..
i also noted that the 88 key version is not available yet
The other 2 models will start selling by next week
The localised versions (musikant for Germany, Austria, Swiss and Benelux) will also be available later down the road and cost about €200 more

And finally to the neede improvements list

- make the vocal and guitar effect chains available for routing internal voices trough when nog guitar and/or microphone connected
- add sub cattegories to the voices and styles songs keyboard sets.. hundreds of choices is just to much for only 11 cattegories. There is space enough to add subcattegories and if you also add the “all” cattegorie as default.. people dont have to use them
- what happened to kaos and a real arpeggiator?
- allow us to add voices in songs or styles directly to the keybed.. this allows
- no proof of any DAW integration so far
- to many parameters are still seem global, like the function of the pedals, with no ec5 pedal, people will definately want to use the excisting pedals more flexible, and add a different function for every song
- can we add an option to use audio tracks in the linear sequencer? Should be possible since its obvious the keyboard is able to sync audio with midi
- have a look at the 16 pads, there is so many more things you could add to them to make the feature even more incredible

And then there are questions
- can anyone confirm if we can use the pa5x as an audio interface trough the USB to PC connector?
- can any one show us if there are improvements to the ensemble function?


And my own mindnumbing question, paas or some great studio monitors for the home? The Paas certainly looks much better

Adam and Luke will be demonstrating the keyboard in an hour. Luke is great at demonstrating new keyboards, so hopefully he can answer some of the questions, we would all love to know more about. Here is a link to the video: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/3aqehhnk/register

Humm...we get a guitar input and dedicated processor for it.. but loose EC5 pedal and KAOSS of which both I use on PA4X, odd really when you would think most peoples priority is to play the keyboard and if you are a multi-instrumentalist surely you're going to have your guitar processors already sorted... or did the market research calculate nobody is using the EC5 pedal or KAOSS but want to plug their guitars into their keyboard...odd.... I find that hard to believe...oh well I may feel different after spending the morning with the PA5X at tomorrow's demo....Next Korg uk webinar.

Kaaos supposed to be still in the main software code but cannot be active at this moment. I reckon it will be come back with some of the OS update.
Strange that nobody mentions about it in their presentation.

Overall, I like the Pa5x (especially the new sounds, styles and the greater polyphony).

I think it's a shame that the auto midi to style conversion feature from the Pa4x is gone. Also, the fact that it can't import pa4x songbooks is a real pain (only .set files apparently).

I agree that not having compatibility with the EC5 is really annoying, especially as the PA5x has so many potential elements that would benefit from foot pedal control. I really hope that Korg develops a new compatible pedal. Even though a midi pedal made by another company would potentially work, of course, (if we ever get a decent midi implementation chart!), having the option of controlling/switching pedal controllers via the keyboard menu system would make things 100% easier and more efficient, in my opinion, as they can be fully programmable). I too, hope that Kaoss is added back in a future software update, as I think that it adds a great deal of flexibility.
I'd be interested to know if the sounds from the Pa5x inputs can, finally, be routed through the Paas (they can't on the Pa4x, which is a real pain when using additional midi modules).
Best,
Jon

far as I can see... sadly not

See this thread I started. for what we need for better DAW integration in a future line :

I feel a bit of "PA4X déjà vu"
The Pa4x was released a bit too early and I am getting a very strong feeling that this PA5X is the same.
I feel like we don't have the "final" product yet, in fact, I am hoping we don't else my knee-jerk decision will be to skip this model.
One hope is the PA4X at the time of its release is a totally different PA4X today.

I know the Korg management structure changed which could be attributed to the early release of the PA4X (maybe the same now).

I do believe that Korg Italy have done a superb job with this PA5X new build and I have every respect for that team but for me there are some significant "basic" things requiring explanation.

Currently, I am considering extending my "PA5X Anxiety" for another 8-12 months.... but hope to have hands-on experience within the next few weeks (if Australia is lucky enough to get one!!! - we are told August).

Keep all those comments and feedback coming please

Pete

The Pa5x is not new, it was delayed du to Covid19, it's already 2 years old.
