Does the Korg PA600 have semi-weighted keys, same as the PA3X?

No. I would call them "Organ Keys" - they do have user adjustable velocity sensing.

Thanks, I just want to make sure they are not micro-keys like on the micro arranger. Also do you know if the volume on each of the PADs on the PA3X can be raised, if so how? Thanks again.

Sure. While in Style mode just hold down the SHIFT key and press a PAD. That will get you to the PAD Assign page where you can individually assign sounds, adjust EQ, VOL, EFFECTS SEND & PAN for each PAD

Great, thanks!

"Organ Keys" typically have a single hinge with a spring return and just the mass of the plastic key. Great for organ glissandos, etc. Semi-weighted keys have some mass and a little resistance to movement.
