Korg PA900 vs Korg PA3X Keyboard Comparison

Our video compares the Korg PA900 and PA3X keyboards to see how different they actually sound through the direct outputs which is what people would use when gigging or recording. What do you think? --- When heard in real life the PA3X is very rich in sound mainly due to the PAAS speaker system which has great bass and overall tone.

Hello, yes, the PA900 sounds very similar to the PA3X as you can hear in the video but its speakers are a lot smaller compared to the PAAS system. If the PA900 was put through larger amplification it would sound amazing!

[@nickbeqiri2289]

A&C Hamilton Musical Instruments Soo you’re saying “PA900” has the slight lead in overall as I’m hearing it!! You definately hear better since you’re right there..?

[@ace.ccanty7209]

Listen folks.... The sound from both keyboards are being fed to a mixer, then into the computer. That's why it sounds so clear. The pa900 speakers are not being used. The settings on the mixer are supposed to be exactly the same. Having said that.... The pa3x does sound a little better, but not by much. Definitely not worth the almost double in cost. The extra features..memory..and board layout are the biggest improvements over the pa900.

The comparison is completely fair. The speakers in this recording do not come in to it as the sound is recorded directly in order to show the true comparison of the internal sounds/ styles of the instruments. In the real world then yes, the speakers make a difference as they do with all products, but in terms of internal technology and direct comparison then this shows how good the PA900 is in terms of value for money and how good the PA3X is. Both superb instruments!

[@kropacek70]

I had owned pa900+pa3x76. If you test them on the same speakers System. You will hear big difference. Korg pa3x has absolutely better sound. Styles very similar but in korg pa3x styles fuller with more instruments. Before I bought both instruments I saw videos on you tube and I thought they are same (only body different) but not!!! Korg pa3x better!!! Sorry about my English It's my second language.

[@powerofpeace9756]

Hi.. Is there any difference of sound quality in pa1000 and pa4x..?

[@joaquimmotacantor5539]

Super

[@jonathanaaronhernandez3722]

Why the sounds of my Korg pa900 is not the same as in the tutorials? There are "opaque", "dark". What I need to do? Excuse me my expresions, I don´t speak English. Thanks.

[@starw300]

Depend very much if the Pa3X is connected at the some speakers with Pa 900. If not. that is the difference on the sound.

[@hgn2217]

Please tell the styles (and possibly also the song titles) used on PA3x in this EXCELLENT comparison of Korg Pa.

[@SWTVdoc]

PA900 REAL LIKE MUSIC STUDIO - PA3X REAL WITH NOISE LIKE LIVE CONCERT

[@maraminch]

When PA900 and PA3X are playing, sense of touch of the keyboard the same?

[@levankashmadze2565]

Pa 900 👍

[@6933CH]

Are we listen from keyboards speakers or from the same PA system???I think we hear the speakers differences and not the keyboards.

[@tassiespirit]

The PAAS system does let you hear external input on internal sounds.

[@தேவகிருபை-வ1ச]

It is hard to diagnose which is good board coz both the boards are brothers in nature , so anyway both are doing well ,....

[@mpps28]

If we connect the PA 900 to a good PA system do you think it will sound like PA3X?

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

Yes.. mixing is important. Get a quality mixer and powered speaker.

[@AlexDeejay1973]

Grazie!!! La PA3X costa anche più del doppio... è come paragonare la Ford Focus alla Ford Mondeo... Che paragoni fate???

[@maxfactor4209]

Of course pa3x is better but the question is does it worth the money ? I guess it is doubles as pa900

[@santhosh1944]

i m moving from psr s910 to pa900..plz any tell that can i play psr 910 user styles in pa 900 board

[@ajokurinji]

+Santhosh Kumar no you could not

[@CarlosRoberto-ij1kh]

+Santhosh Kumar No sabe nada usted

[@santhosh1944]

+Carlos Roberto Thank u bro.

[@danilugojeanul]

you can if you convert them with the program style works xt,but i am not shure if they would work the same in pa900 because of the drum kit set,you have to edit some drums and make them in user dk and they should work properly ;)

[@EdmondM3]

what's the music at 8:00 called ?

[@jeanreingabrielli1482]

Caravan (Duke Ellington)

[@EdmondM3]

Thank you :)

[@MohammedElSanousi]

So instrument2go now witch One is better quality to buy? On sounds and the output power

[@ebenezerebe706]

Hi... M having pa900 ... Can i know what is the best thing that have in it... compare to yamaha psr950

[@asadali2311]

Psr sounds are more electronic than acoustic when such instruments are playing. Korg charges premium prices for its sounds. On the other hand I've seen many people having a good ear for music preferring PSR for its voices. For me Korg has more warmth than PSR.

[@luiscarloscamilodossantos427]

yes

Как-то не правильно так сравнивать звуки... Экспрессия разная из-за различной клавиатуры... Из-за этого звуки по разному звучат. И сыграть тоже можно по разному. Чтобы сравнить звуки, нужно пользоваться секвенсором. Чтобы показать тонкие различия, использовать различные примочки, присущие только конкретному синтезатору. И нужно отключать эффекты.

[@Flanger39]

Super DEMO!

[@rene.grondzi]

Pa3x still gows around 1500€ second hand without the sound system and if you go in a second hand store you will buy it for 1000 with the soundbar system

[@dmitrystanik3483]

PA3X takes it big time. The sound is more clear. No wonder that there is a difference in price. Nevertheless, both of them sound pretty good. It's just that pax3 sound engine is more precise.

[@nickbeqiri2289]

Dmitry Stanik You’re deaf!! Pa 3X sounds better.. waww

[@kemencetulum]

Pa3X: the more brilliant! and the better you see..

[@achamilton]

Yes it does have a chord looper

[@andriesmihai9346]

Super

[@Dmt4030]

These would be my two main keyboards

[@tomilee197578]

Pa3x BEST !!!

[@mendraf1]

how you do to have that clear sound in the video?

[@mendraf1]

From where

[@Erbilforever]

use an sound card and record it on computer ;)

[@MrYamaha413]

and what is price difference ?

[@robert860212]

everything its the same but korg pa3x have ribbon controler beter weighted keys more ram memory up to 512 mb and its look beter than pa900 and thats because its cost more then pa900 so thats what i think i sold my pa3x for 3 days agoo i gonner try pa900 now

[@SuBaRu958]

Robert Demirovic you are not right... push menu key and see options on pa3x... :D effects MFX and IFX itc itc...

[@balanul20]

+Robert Demirovic Also, I hate those rubber buttons on the pa900, I simply can't press them :) Pa3X Pro's buttons are way better

[@BoobLover4Life]

Hi there. So how is the pa900 compared to korg pa3x now that you owned both? Always thought pa3x was the better machine.

[@balanul20]

It truly is. There is no debate, the pa 900 is just a cheaper version with some cons, of course :)

[@nikithmichealbiju857]

+Balanul no it is a good keyboard both keyboard barr good

[@kpevents9734]

Same sound engine, from a business point Korg has added cheaper parts and manufacturing labour to make it more affordable. Better a quick dollar than sit around and wait for 2. You get for what you paid for.

[@தேவகிருபை-வ1ச]

Super ❤️❤️l like this keyboards

[@JorgeLHurtado]

Does pa900 comes in 76 keys?

[@barbulescumarcel7389]

pa 900 61 keys new 76

[@keithsmith9911]

You can hook up a $250.00 keyboard amp that's 75 to 150 watts and the PA900 will sound as good as the PA3X for about $500.00 less... In this economy, that's a plus.....

[@rickygarcia7400]

the thank it pisses me off is why all these arrangers have lean toward eastern music why not rock or 80s synth pop Italy disco.

[@Florinescux]

ce comparatie chiainaria cu italia

[@maykolfernandez8498]

Sabenk precio tiene el korg pa 900 en dolar

[@NicuIon]

Nea Sorinele pe aici ati ajuns ? :))

[@jhampaovivanco771]

Valdrá la pena comprar em el 2021 un 3x en vez de un pa1000, en Ecuador pa1000 $2.000 pa3x $2600

[@rickygarcia7400]

I thank the roland ea7 is the best I know becuse I have all three pa900 pa3x and ea7.

[@alanpashko2345]

Pa3 is the best!!!!!

[@KONNECTORAS]

Hey, guys, you must be deaf not to hear the difference of the two machines... Pa3X has the lead.

[@nickbeqiri2289]

KONNECTORAS I think you’re deaf!

[@achamilton]

It is around £1500 more for the PA3X which is on average with speakers around £3000 where the PA900 is around £1499

[@NewArut]

Big difference in sounds and styles I didn't feel though the difference in the price is notable.

[@giannisanag872]

does th pa900 have a chord looper as pa3x

[@DanielOrtiz-fm5lq]

At least the piano sounds are better in the PA 900, but the other patches sounds better in the PA3x

[@evereche2409]

cual es Mejor? ?.? ALGUIEN SABE ?.?

[@josmararica9082]

[@luiscarloscamilodossantos427]

[@RakanKongsiBuragas]

PA3x use keyboard amplifier , the PA 900 use built in speakers.

[@bouzouti87]

PA900 has higher Polyphony count if that's what you care about

[@confidential303]

Most sounds haven't evolved, my old keyboard of 20 years ago produce the same sound nothing spectaculair with it, the only improvend in sound I hear is the great Acoustic Guitar

[@vinch57]

04:36 ♪ The way it is ♪

[@DanielOrtiz-fm5lq]

I think the PA 900 sounds better

[@Vangelismusic1]

This is not a fair comparison, speakers are very different and the PA3x are superior, for the money the PA900 is not bad.

[@harasalcin-watts3245]

Vangelis V this video does not how the audio from the speakers.

[@bouzouti87]

PA3X has better gigging sound whereas PA900 has better recording sound.

[@stevenyjtsai]

[@imrichmiko5281]

Pa900 sounds better to me

[@ChrisPavlides]

Sorry for saying this but you can't compare 2 arrangers just by testing the sounds.That's noobish

[@forromwoficial]

só pra começar o pa3x tem 4 saídas de áudio individuais kkkk

[@missangas1]

Pa3x melhor

[@yahordzenisevich3156]

In my opinion, KORG PA3X sounds better - more deeply...

[@7alken]

technically better, but sadly pa900 for me sounds more balanced; flatter filters dynamics but, not so aggresive; higher model probably expects more final multiband compression - for experimenting, it seems even he likes more to play on pa900

[@sakismoysikos6909]

pa 3

[@farhadrahmat400]

regarding the price and output, for sure PA900 is the winner.

[@juandiegocruzado8223]

There is a disadvantage Pa3X korg has larger volume than the Yamaha tyros 5. why sounds better korg

[@davemagna8235]

Juan Diego Cruzado where's the yamaha?

[@jesua301]

Not so good playing. Uninspired and monotone I would say. Sounds are very simular. Copy/paste from one device to another. Little better on pa3x but not worth buying.

[@marianrado8159]

The best is pa3 x.

[@asadali2311]

No difference

[@Pijon3]

!!!

[@mosonfly3509]

heheee 9:02

[@YoshimusicLive]

This is not a fair comparison, it´s like comparing a mid-range keyboard with tyros or a Fiat to Mercedes...

[@TMCHL]

sadly same sound engine LOL

[@kamalakelly6208]

Hundred series look like toy for kids and sound not that good reminds me yamaha series ! Be pax series more professional for grownup lol

[@wasiliyfilipchuk7136]

Pa3x на две головы круче звучит!

[@Eurobeat3]

Здесь Korg pa900 звучит из собственных динамиков, что конечно же от части портит звук.

[@marianrado8159]

korg pa 3x made in itali ............korg pa 900 made in china

[@SOPM2007]

Not everything from china has necessarily poor quality. The days are over.
