Paolo,

I posted this separately but I will add it to your thread here. Also see my signature below for a Beach Boys song using the Pa4X and harmony, and for other links to my music in general.

And two Christmas original songs this season I did. I love being about to do these classic Broadway and 50s jazz styles, because I could never pull that off playing all the parts myself multitrack.

mintjamman,

Do you do any post processing of your tracks and a DAW with mixing plugins?


VERY clear and spacious. I enjoy your work.

Minneapolis Musician, All that you hear is created exclusively inside the Pa4x, there is no DAW processing on the songs, instruments or tracks. I tend to use the great Insert Effects and Master effects when working on songs and as yet I have not found the need to do any work on a DAW although if I needed to I have Logic Pro X and Studio 3 to hand.

When I first got the Pa4x months were taken up between reading the manual and working through the way the Pa4x works, onwards of that there were and are many hours of playing and the reason I started writing the tracks which I posted was to create a workflow which would test my knowledge of the Pa4x and by trying to get the Pa4x to reflect my own ideas I found that the learning curve took me to many places as to what the Pa4x might be capable of and it is a truly capable instrument in many many ways.

I happen to think that as players and owners we should all post examples of our work whatever the style or musical ability might be as each player will draw different things or ways of working with the Pa4x and collectively we can all learn more about the Pa4x and music production as a result of sharing our ideas.

mintjamman,

Well, it is very impressive. I am surprised at how deep the Pa4X is. I will have to start getting into those effects and inserts and making some new setups for myself.

That's it isn't it ! The Pa4x has a lot of depth when it comes to it and the more you experiment the more you find. I find it a satisfying Musical companion

It would be interesting to have the demonstrators and Korg Product Specialists to post some of their efforts and maybe Korg could put on some clinics as I don't see or hear Korg pushing the product

Steve, no offense taken but as far as anything I have posted they are not demos and never meant to be and are in fact pieces I have created for my own enjoyment and learning curve of the Pa4x.

I have not played the Pa3x or listened to one but I am sure that for those like myself who are in the same position why not put up some of your own work on the Pa3x so we can evaluate it against that of the Pa4x ? :D

Hi all

I'm a bit of a lurker on here I'm afraid, don't think I've ever posted before, but I have enjoyed reading all the many posts here.

I am a keen Organ/Keyboard hobbyist and I love the PA4 although I do find it complicated.
I also have a Roland AT80SL organ, Orla Grande Theatre Organ, and Yamaha AR100 organ, all of which are fantastic.

I play purely for my own enjoyment.

Here's my most recent PA4 recording:
