HARDWARE WISH-LIST for FUTURE PA models (Hardware only)

So, it has been 5 long years since Korg Pa4X was released, is Korg working on the Pa5X or not?

It has been 2 years since I bought my Pa4X OR MG2, and I am already tired with its low resolution screen, and willing to replace it with next Pa5X just to get a better high resolution screen that is easy on my eye!

Built in Bluetooth LE so there is no need for a footswitch like ec5. Utilize the Bluetooth foot controllers like bt200 airturn and Irig Blueboard. I Do it now, but have to use external hardware like Yamaha ud-bt01 to create the midi over Bluetooth signal.

No, just go wireless and have Bluetooth LE built in. I use the Irig BlueBoard for my pa1000. Presently, has 6 functions. Can add another pedal, if needed. I was surprised that the new models did not have that ability...have to use Yamaha ud-bt01 or Quicco mi.1 to accomplish. So of you want to go with more, it can be done now this way:

More outputs. This is 2020 Korg. Having just 4 output jacks is just silly. Add 4 more output jacks and let us choose to output L or R 1 or 2, 3. 4. etc.

1) Motorized sliders

2) Bigger screen and BETTER RESOLUTION

3) 2 or more microphone inputs

4) Wifi

5) cable or Wifi/Bluetooth Connection with smartphones or tablet or PC to control any effects or any screen of keyboard like second screen. It sounds complicated, but it can be very good feature.

6) Speakers - at least small speakers.

7) different colors of LEDS

faster CPU so it will startup faster

bonus: DRINK HOLDER

all musicians drink when they play

I am sure HDMI will be for sure. As the later series pa1000 already has it...
Pdf over the text would be a plus...

1. Faster processor, CPU. Loading, compressing, and saving takes to long time in 2020.
2. High resolution and bigger screen. Like Kronos.
3. Transpose and octave buttons change location to the left side of the board.
4. Guitar input with integrated FX for it.
5. USB 3 and USB-C ports.
6. 256 voices of polyphony sounds
7. Support for WAV for playback and recording
8. Dedicated hardware buttons for the oriental scale (Quarter Tone Scaling) with at least 3 memory buttons.

1. Direct button for Mixer (first and foremost - we should not have to go into a menu to select "mixer")

2. Remove all the style category buttons (seriously the PA4x needs de cluttering)

3. There is too much text and print on the keyboard panel layout. Where there are numbers and most other small symbols - they should be engraved or printed into the buttons and should be back-lit.

3. Need the Ability to play Styles and Midis directly from the USB stick instead of saving them locally on the keyboard first.

4. Curser Up+Down buttons pressed simultaneously should reset a number value to its original original setting (all Yamahas do this)

Cable & wifi internet connection is a must nowadays to take advantage of cloud services such us software updates, cloud storage, resources marketplace, and artificial intelligence, users' device usage analysis to improve products, etc...
