Saw the Pa3X today.

Hi All.

I got the grand tour around the Pa3X today. Ho man it's a beautiful instrument. That speaker bar is a great design. It actually attaches to the body of the Pa3X and its easy to install and remove.

No cables or connectors. Just clip on the speaker and away you go. The music stand can then connect to the speaker for those who use one.

Well impressed with everything I heard. ...!!!

Yes, I agree, I'm very excited, it sounded great, and it's not done yet

Thanks James and Frank, I look forward to further info as you can get it

My first impressions were not all that good

It looks like it only has 1 lower timbre available like the PA2X, and the usual 3 on the top half. I was really hoping for at least 2 on the bottom and 4 on the top - for me that's a deal breaker. Even Roland let's you layer the lower half with 2 timbres.

The color is a lot better though, that silver finish on the PA1X and 2X looked tacky to me. Black is way more professional loooking.

completely disagree the pa2x is tacky looking, to me it presents visually as both way professional and way beautiful.... 8)

Agree, but if you look it again you can put 16 sounds by programing them in sound mode, i would say that is lot more than Roland, not that i want to say Roland is a bad keyboard. And with 8fx there are some good things to do even in the lower section

I believe that DNC sounds would be increased and updated to take advantage of the third SW & ribbon controller!
