Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2014 10:24 pm Post subject: NEWBIE HELP PLEASE, PA 600 OR PA 800 WHICH IS THE BETTER BUY |
|

HI ALL,
I am just in he process of either buying a pa 600 bran new, or a pa 800 second hand, both in around the same price, could anyone please advise me on which is the better keyboard, I know that the pa 800 is older and the pa 600 newer, but I have seen some reviews that say that the pa 600 keys are very plasticy to play and sort of cheap, but I do like the black look of the pa 600 and not mad about the blue colour of the pa 800 but sort of prefer the older layout of the pa800 as I already have a pa 60, would anyone be able to advise on the sound quality of both and which is better, also the pa 800 has 4 volume sliders where as the pa 600 only has 2 and only 2 outputs where as the pa 800 has 4 outputs, which would the best sounding instrument and th best value for money, I also notice that the mains lead for the pa 600 has a thin 2 core flex which could maybe break or get damaged easyily,
Any help greatly appreciated, _________________ Thanks Tony, |

Since no one has answered this I'll take a stab...
I would probably go with the Pa-600...much cheaper new and has newer operating system, new features...great bang for the buck. As far as specifics maybe someone else could chime in. Also there is the Pa-900 if you need the vocal capabilities. Personally I would go for the Pa-600 with one of the Voice Live effects processors from TC. It will give you better vocals and the flexibility to record the harmony tracks in multi-track fashion...should you wish to do that on top of being stellar for live use. The new Voice Live 3 looks amazing...
Hopefully this helps a little (btw...I own the Pa-600...great sounds and styles for the money)
God bless |

Hi,
Many thanks for your helpful reply, I actually purchased the pa600 last week and am very pleased with it, I do feel the keys a bit springy, and light but maybe with a bit of use they will be ok, it does defintely seem good value for the money and does look very like the pa 900 without the vocaliser, which I have on the Roland anyway, if there are any sounds or styles that in your mind stand out, you might let me know, I think its possible somehow to load new sounds onto the pa600 I presume that these have to be purchased from Korg? I'm not too sure i probably have enough to work with for the moment anyway.
Thanks again for replying. _________________ Thanks Tony, |
