Farewell to the Korg Forum: Embracing the EVM Ketron

Hello everyone, this is my last message on this forum. Today I sold my beloved Pa4X-76, which has been my companion for almost 9 years. With the proceeds from the sale, I purchased the ultra-light EVM Ketron, and I am very satisfied with it. The EVM weighs only 2 kilograms, and now going out to play ...

I have read everything you have written and I thank you very much. However, I am a musician and do not intend to produce and sell sounds and styles. Currently, if I wanted to switch from my Pa4X-76 to a Pa5X-76, I would have to invest at least 2,000 euros, and I haven't yet found any new features ...

...and now they have released version 3.0.0 of their operating system, with a mountain of bug fixes and new features. It almost seems like the developers at Korg Italy have all moved to work on the new operating system for Ketron Event. 8) 8) I don't think I'll be letting go of my Pa4X-76 for now ...

I support the idea that, sooner or later, arrangers will be entirely software-based. Perhaps, for now, an iPad with M3 may not be powerful enough, but eventually, we will see an 'Event Emulator' or a 'Pa5X Emulator' in a single app, and everyone will be free to use their preferred master keyboard ...

The real problem, in my opinion, is that the software in arranger keyboards has become increasingly complex and that musical instrument companies are not able to manage this kind of project. Excellent sounds, excellent playability, but in the arranger market the demand inevitably shifts to software ...

And what if the problem is something else? I expect that in the coming months someone will come to market using artificial intelligence to create a totally new arranger model that is not bound by the usual paradigm of "3 intros, 4 variations, 4 fills, 3 endings." Of course, Korg, Yamaha, and even ...

In the meantime, on the planet Ketron...

Ketron is really performing well; I am seriously considering leaving my beloved Pa4X to switch to Event. At least they demonstrate being alive and kicking, and their operating system is already at version 2.0.
