Pete: I am somewhat disappointed you should rehash that entry to the Medelli comparison which has been exposed as a fraught in many ways a long time ago...... So sorry I disappointed you 😱 I really don't care at all about the Medelli but the comparison was an eye-opener regarding the EVENT - SO - ...

thanks Bernie, hope are doing well !!!

Someone on the PA4X thread here inquired about the current state of the new Ketron Event arranger which had its latest O.S. update ( 3.0) which in actual fact means its fifth update since its release 18 months ago !!! For what it is worth and as a Ketron Event user myself who used to play Korg ...

when in style edit lefthand bottom row there is EFX. if you scroll thru EFX you get many settings including e.g. Bright 1, 2, 3, Loud 1,2,3 etc. It can be done seperately for the Midi acc. tracks, for the Real Chord track and for the Drum track. ( in Drums you go to edit and can choose different ...

Aripearlmusic, ( and others) First off, you are INcorrect at stating the Event does not have EQ for the styles. It is not the handiest one admittedly but you CAN eq all style elements.

I think this contraption would be a terrific asset for any Korg player, in particular those gigging and wanting to sound like a real band... I would not hold my breath though as far as the price is concerned. My bet would be closer to 3000 Euros than anything lower than that.... Were they to sell it ...

Thanks Pete, I have sent you an email going into detail as to how I set about programming my Registrations and what I expect from those. My appreciation again for sharing your songbook and giving me advice etc. !!!!

Hi Pete, First of all belated big thanks for sending me your Songbook but as you have surmised it was not what I have been looking for. And to make matters clear from the start I reset the PA4x to factory default and afterwards loaded stuff from a.o. the Korg demonstrator here in Holland. Still not ...

As all of you here seem to favour the PA4X over the PA5X I was wondering about the following: I played Korg arrangers for over 15 years , did my fair share of programming ,which several of you enjoyed as well, then in 2018 switched to Ketron, retaining a KMA on top. Recently I purchased a secondhand ...

problem has been sorted !!!

Recently got back in the Korg fold so to speak, next to a ketron arranger.
Tried to hook up with my computer after having installed the Korg Drivers but nothing happens when I connect the USB out on the Korg with my desktop.
Any ideas for help ? much appreciated

this is a review by a diehard Yamaha fanatic who has been begging companies to lend him an Event for appraisal for months and months. Now he has got one and within a day or so he posts an " extensive evaluation " of the Event, basically coming to the "most surprising " conclusion that it cannot even ...
