Weird what’s going on in Europe.
I am actively seeking one also.

My KORG PA5X shipment update lol

Post by bluesmusic »

I see there is a worldwide problem with the supply of Pa5x. However, I wonder if in most of Europe they don't use us for experienced bunnies, because supplies are not a problem here. Shouldn't it turn out that in addition to software problems, our units will also be screwed up hardware-wise? Do they not have supplies for the "white world" on purpose, but let us test expensive junk?

i've also ordered a pa5x 76 keys in holland in july 2022. Mine was delivered last friday (april 8 2023).

I've spent now around 8 hours on the pa5x with zero problems until know. Things i tested:

- Adding songs to my songbook
- Adding sounds to the user area
- Programming new sounds in the synthesizer engine (on oscillator level)
- Created new songs based on Midi files
- Revoiced those midi files on the pa5x in the edit mode
- Changed existing styles and stored them as user styles
- Created new styles by copying an existing styles and then use the copy feature of specific elements from other styles (like for instance the drum and bass programming from one style to another)
- Reprogrammed the effects in a song in parameter mode, for instance creating a Cirrus type reverb in overb by setting large spaces and LFO on the Sustain of the reverb
- Created a Custom controller section
- Used MP3 files for backing tracks and stored them in the songbook
- Imported my own programmed sounds from the PA4x and my own keyboard sets from the pa4x
- setup new user areas for the styles and keyboard sets

And a lot more.

Now i've read lot's of horror stories online, but maybe i'm lucky but until now i had zero Problems in OS 1.10.

Tomorrow i will import some of my own sample libraries and see how that goes.

but for now, i'm really impressed with the pa5x.

Any news about the Musikant version? Is it Musikant available in Austria, or International?

Glad to see that you are having positive experiences! I have had similar ones, although not as extensive as yours. Love this new keyboard and its potential. Please keep us posted. 8)

Hi , sorry,
I’m in Australia, not Austria. Musikant won’t be sold in Australia if/when they’re available.
