Hi Antony

Ahh... the thing that comes to mind is that it will affect the sounding chords especially when we play lets say 2 note lower pieces (not intended to be part of chord) where the chord should only be triggered by 3 notes and when the chord is a minor, a major could result....

Hmmmmmm... very limiting

thanx

I have protested vehemently on the 900 forum about the lack of fingered 3 chord recognition. I was waiting to see the PA4x when it arrives, but i will not consider it if it lacks this feature.

The Fingered 3 mode allows you to play a chord, release the keys, then play left hand notes and the chord doesn't change until you hit 3 notes together again.
It is also much less prone to give you false chord changes if your fingering is a little sloppy. Smile

Hi Antony

"RIC" from writing E-mails simply means "Reading In Copy"

WRT (with regards to) effects, let me be more clear, is it possible to have a set of STS's that do not change with styles and the effects all remain with original setting apart from those that are tempo dependant etc.

This is something the Yamahas allow and when playing styles with user defined STS's and then want to switch to a different Factory style that could fit the intended song (and adding in Indian drum loops via pads to add flavour... this for on the fly music) and THEN the STS sounds all change whereas I intend to use the exact sounds with effects for most of the performance.

I cannot/do not want to go and change the STS's of the other styles but also do not want their STS's to pull through when changing styles.

Thank you and appreciated

Hi Antony

Thanks for the link and it does explain a lot. I also like Teds suggestions on the assigned pedal capabilities however there could be much more other possibilities too. I think korg uses the term "Freely" too freely as the sliders, pedal assignments and switches are very far from being freely assignable.

And the naming "Pa3x Le" is truly misguiding and something that korg should consider long and hard before putting out to the public or production as it give the newbies the impression that there is a new and better PA3x out there and for those knowing the "LE" designation, it gives them the impression that it is a scaled down version of the PA3x. Both are grossly incorrect as it should have been named "PA900 Pro" or so. The 3X bit takes away a lot from the legacy of the PA3x... basically brings it down as the X range was suppose to be their best..... very dishonest branding/designation IMO.

Thank you though for your time and guidance... and same to all on this forum

Hi Antony

Thank you for the STS guidance

WRT fingered 3 link: I think you misread my response as i basically said/agreed that the link clarifies the issues... so yes most arranger players should be using the kbds in this manner to get full potential ... i do and genuinely understand the concerns with the exclusion of fingered 3 as i am always looking for ways to free my left hand and legs to activate some other feature or setup to lessen the repetitions of CVs, change dynamics to create intensity, play lower Strings fills without affecting the sounding chord until necessary and on my fingering and still control nuances/articulations of upper.

Thanks

Veren my example has a general purpose for all , I know what you wrote ! Very Happy

To end this , Pa3X Limited Edition is the next in the hierarchy of PaSeries in circulation , so can be welcomed in a reasonable
price of 1900-2100 euros that will justify the extra cost , including extra keys , 4 fill buttons , 2 wooden sides and a better
body structure compared with Pa900 , since it's a software clone of Pa900 , minus PA cost of Pa900 !
All the rest have already been explained .

Hi Antony ... Cool thanx

WRT STS: will it retain the instruments too for each STS?

Although off topic:
I do like to know your opinion on "freely" assignable sliders etc. more importantly do you believe that sliders, switches and pedals (to an extent) should be more geared to style from a morphing perspective rater than the simple style up/down? ... from a programming perspective is it possible especially on the 3X.

These are arrangers as the controls should at least primarily affect the style/arrangements...change patches, CVs, groove/swing of drum patterns, intensity, harder left playing affecting Cutoff and PB on style tracks are just a few to name.

thanx and appreciated

Hi Antony

On the BAll... spot On

... have any kbd have the capability to stream user samples from HD etc on demand?

Do you expect 4X to be significantly/radically different and if so, to what extent... what you think the new inclusions will be?

thank you
