I've got to say that after spending the last couple of days working my way through the onboard sequencer and MP3 recording functions the workflow is logical, quick and the results I am now getting from the Pa4x are impressing me greatly, my plan is within the next two weeks to get a good number of tracks ready and then get the Pa4x into a live setting where I can hear it through my EAW rig, With what I have heard thus far, this thing is a bomb and I am so glad I got it even though we have a short list of things that need sorting out. Glad I gave the T5 a miss Korg have the upper hand here for live playing musicians

I got mine a few hours ago, and so far I love it. Great new sounds. Updating the OS went very smoothly. I like the Set List system so far.
I plan to start using it on the job TOMORROW, so will be busy most of the night and tomorrow afternoon setting things up.
I decided not to try to save my PA3X Songbook, so starting over there.
I don't use some of the areas of the keyboard where others are having problems.
I mostly just play songs and sing! Beats the heck out of a day job!

I came from (and still have) the Korg Triton EXTREME, which has this sequencer beat in many areas. BUT....You can lay tracks quickly and easily with the backing sequencer and then add to it later. There is no stringing sequences together to make a song like the EXTREME...Eventually I will figure out how to combine the two maybe????

What I have done is put my song book together and can play a few dozen or so songs "live"....I have also started sequencing tracks which I will play acoustic guitar with. The "downside" of sequenced songs is in a live worship setting is I cannot extend a Chorus....

So..........by mixing in well thought out sequences and playing the acoustic guitar it gives the audience a different side of me rather than simply acoustic...Mixing this with my "live" STYLE play it is a great mix and is only getting better...

It's interesting to see the reaction of the congregation who are trying to figure out where all this new music is coming from.....

Then I'll break it down to solo piano with a few strings and the atmosphere is totally transformed.

Man what a valuable tool............

Steve, you can put markers in your sequences and repeat whatever sections you like.
