It sure looks good in HD, a finished product, ready for release.
I can't wait to see the specs.
As D575 said, I'm sure it will be announced at the NAMM show in June.

Big disillusion for me as a workstation user, they stuck with 3 upper and 1 lower sound…
It just does not cut it for me.. why can’t they just make it a real workstation (8 to 16 keyboard parts) with styles and songs on top of it?
Or take it a step in the direction of the jupiter 80 (with 10 voices) .. best performance key ever.
Sticking to this simple 3 right and one left just shows arranger keyboard builders are not seriously about forwarding their products to the next gen..
This also probably means, the pa4x will stick to the old engine, and will not have new engines transfered from kronos/nautilus despite the rumors..

Nice photo, thank you. Still many unknown, especially if we talk about TC Helicon. I cannot see any logos with technologies that are included (DNC,TC Helicon, ect) as it used to be.

Yes I can understand this line of thought, you would think today's technology would allow for a large increase in polyphony to take us to that point to cover this concept... but perhaps a business philosophy requires us to buy another one of their products/synths to partner with an arranger (which many of us do already) as they probably make more money that way rarther than giving us everything in one package by keeping clear distinctions between product lines?... but a concept I think many would like to see... but unfortunately it looks like the future is not now.... in the mean time I will remain optimistic and see if this will be a contender to replace my current Pa4x?

No i am a simple member here!!!
I wish i would be a Korg employee but then it would be illegal and unprofessional to post such photos...i found this photo and many others that i have posted, in facebook

The easily removable joystick design is a nice touch, no need to disassemble the whole instrument to replace it.
Now waiting to hear how it sounds.

I doubt that will be happening, they want us to buy the new product.
