Korg Pa700 vs. Yamaha PSR-S770 - Styles Comparison

[@rohag735]

I have the Yamaha psr-s775. I recently bought the Korg Pa1000. After playing around with both. Comparing styles and voices. My opinion, the Korg wins.

[@vanthucpham5023]

Psr -s775 is not same level with Pa1000.

[@shawnaebbeson7882]

I own the PA700 and seriously considered the PSR-S670 and PSR-S770 before getting the Korg. The Korg has a unique style to it. It sounds very organic and with that, it sounds kind of dull and thin. What you need to do is add a bit of High EQ on the master EQ and add more reverb to the Upper voices. This makes the keyboard come to life. I've owned the PA700 for about a month now and have done about 40 gigs with it (yes, I play it about 3-6 hours a day, in usually 1-2 hour sessions per gig). After I bumped the High EQ up a bit, and turned on the Master Limiter (the acoustic bass will distort the speakers otherwise) a bit for soft limiting, it really opened up. There is certainly a learning curve to it, but it is worth it. The piano sounds better on the Yamaha though, and they should. I think that Yamaha will always have the edge on the solo piano voicings. The acoustic and electric guitars are great on the Korg and they really sing. One of the keys to the Korg is being able to utilize the DNC control for the different effects to the voices (just as the Yamaha has the Mega-Voices and Articulations). Using these correctly will add an amazing level of realism to the different sounds. They are especially effective on the saxes and clarinets. If you add a bit of Chorus to the Sax sounds on the Korg, they too get more fat and sound great. I am very happy with my purchase of the PA700 and do not feel that I settled for it at all. I feel that I would have settled if I had purchased either of the Yamaha offerings.

[@gaellebourgeois1011]

Interesting. I was torn between the two: "cleaner" sound on the Psr and more organic/warm/inspiring sound on the PA. With your tips about EQ and adding effects to "brighten" the PA sound , i think my decision is made to get the PA 700 !

[@JamesNoteology]

Harry Ebbeson III I also own a Pa700 its a great keyboard I have a Korg Group on Facebook if you would like to join facebook.com/groups/KorgProfessionalArrangerUserGroup/

[@NarenSinger]

Would you recommend it over psr s970.. because in India both cost almost same...psr 970 little bit higher in cost..but I can manage ..plz suggest

[@shawnaebbeson7882]

The PSR-970 is probably more like the Korg PA1000. The PA700 is more likely comparable to the PSR-670. If the prices are similar, then I would compare them in person....I personally really like the Korg though and the more I play it the more I like it. I am actually programming on it right now. If I get another arranger this coming year (2018), it will either be the PA1000 or the PA4X-76. More likely, the PA1000 though so I have a closer replacement to the PA700, since I use them in my work every day.

[@fnonaka]

I always had PSR and never went to Korg, but now with the PA700 model (although I don't own one yet lol) it surprised me - it looks very close to Korg's PA3x, 4x PRO line, with a bunch of customizations - plus the touch screen (wtf Yamaha???). Korg has passed Yamaha arrangers! I'm almost sure that the next Yamaha PSR models will come with touch screen, at least, and the 2 buttons to use the sax articulations, for example - that we find it only at Tyros and Genos line.

[@febripratama5930]

drum and bass korg is real..

[@MelodicModes]

I've always had Yamaha keyboards and loved them. My PSR 740 has been great, but is now showing its age. However, the new Korgs sound way better than the Yamaha. I've tried playing the PSR s970 and Korg Pa1000, and the Korg sounds so much better. I'm considering actually getting a Korg this time around.

[@fnonaka]

You say your Psr740 is getting old now? Lol I had it a long time ago, but I changed a lot of times after that! Psr line changed a lot after 740... Anyway, Korg looks better now since PA700 model(although I didn't test it live yet) - check how awesome is the sax articulations - that in Yamaha you find only in Tyros line... The PRO arrangers. By the way, the keys from Yamaha PSR line are so bad that I refuse to buy it again, or think twice before buying again! Lol

[@miroslavduna3810]

Korg pa700 Feels like real band so nice And I love the powerful bass on that keyboard

[@davidanthony7609]

Korg...!!! Buen vídeo gracias

[@maxfactor4209]

what really dictate which keyboard to buy is not in fact how they sound like, at least where I leave. the community support for local folklore music rhythms and accompaniment is the most important factor.

[@Edu_VOICELAB]

Siempre me sonaron muy Artificiales los Yamaha de esas Gamas PSR, prefiero el Sonido y la potencia creativa de los Korg

[@paulmutter8301]

I confess I own the Yamaha but I do think the voices and styles are better than the Kong, fuller and better balanced

[@sOvidiu74]

agree

[@preapsotheara1505]

Ovi S right

[@davidcrabtree5845]

Rather hard to get an audio comparison when you play multiple instruments and styles on one keyboard then change, playing different beats and style on the other.

[@DiegoDure_Tecladista]

Leyendo todos comentario, con el traductor claro, quiero dejar mi reciente panorama, acabo de vender mi PA3X LE, que es similar al PA900, y adquiri un PSR S950, y fue una desilucion total, si bien los ritmos de fábrica suenan bien, me da la impresión de ser un simple midi bien adornado. Ahora, realmente muy pocos styles de Korg de fabrica estan bien realizados al lado de Yamaha, pero a la hora de editar, korg tiene mas libertad, afinar un redoblante de bateria, equalizar bombo, platillos, sintetizar baterías, tienen un montón de herramienta, que metiendo mano te sorprende el realismo que se logra. Sin dudas yamaha tiene mucho mas trabajo en sus ritmos internos, pero cargar un ritmo de un modelo anterior, intentar editarlo es muy fastidioso, y no tenes libertad para muchas cosas que los PA si te permiten. Despues que lea directamente desde un pendrive es un punto a favor para Yamaha, al igual que las registraciones, pero las herramientas que trae el nuevo PA700, la practicidad de la pantalla tactil, el creador de style-midi, el Kaoss, y segun lei, tambien lee directamente desde pendriver, no me deja otra opinion mas que decir que Korg, es realmente un arreglista profesional, con mas herramientas para personalizar a gusto propio. En mi caso, sinceramente me decepciono el PSR S950, esperaba mas, y ya lo puse en venta para volver a Korg.

[@jordansilvamusic]

Diego Dure Hola, quisiera hacerte una consulta ya que recién quiero entrar a este mundo. Pretendo comprarme una Korg pa 700 pero tengo entendido que los samples de la 600 o 900 no se puede leer en la 700 :/

[@DiegoDure_Tecladista]

Si los lee, lo que no lees es pack en el formato anterior, pero en todos los PA, podes acceder a los archivos de styles, song, samples individualmente, solo hay que reacomodar todos los archivos y armar un nuevo pack

[@rubenmartin627]

hola diego todos los estilos son midi en yamaha korg y roland ect. a gustos. yo tengo un psr s 770 y contento estoy anterior tuve un kor pa 800 y no me defraudo. conclusion que saco que los psr s tyros o genos, son sonidos como estudio y korg pax4 korg pa1000 ect son mas de directo live quizas suene un pelin mejor pero en todos son midis.

[@javierfernandezsilva8347]

Bien bro, me ayudaste a decidir PA700 AHI TE VOY!

[@kikocruz7556]

Gracias por este comentario me aclara muchas cosas pork estoy entre la espada y la pared algunos sonidos d Yamaha m fascinan pero los strings y piano d korg m enamora m asombra mos ritmos d Yamaha pero si es mejor herramienta d trabajo korg parece k las dudas desaparecen pensando en un futuro no solo s trabaja cn un ritmo creo k korg puede sacar mo mejor d nuestra inspiracion

[@rajendrang9466]

it sounds soooooo real

[@chengchivasentertainment4966]

vote Pa700

[@DavidNThangaraj]

Korg sounds like real instrumental voice, Yamaha is not gives natural voice compare with korg

[@gregodessite]

You are probably right, but KORG PA 700 has serious display glitch, which takes over whole instrument. Does Yamaha SX 700 do so?

[@majsterV]

Korg sound more like a live instrument, Yamaha like a perfectly balanced studio track. Both are great in its own rights and Yamaha is in Europe considerably cheaper right now so it is way better buy in that regard. Nonetheless i still like Korg approach more for live gig. It's tone of instruments simply sound more live and engaging to me and i get more enjoyment from them as they have more energy.

[@alfaomegamusical5017]

Korg is batters👍

[@akosvirag3324]

Please make an sx700 vs s775 video

[@MaheshMedapati0]

Plz compare krome and yamaha s770.which is the best keyboard. I want to buy

[@oazlast8844]

hi, what kind of loudspeaker, do you use for korg pa 700? ( I think of ) is ti monitor studio speakers ,like Yamaha,? thanks

[@rolandd.6679]

Yamaha is the BEST!

[@marekpolhos9562]

no korg pa700 is better !!

[@janosik3120]

no, only Yamaha rules.

[@samuel7242]

marek polhoš no, Yamaha is very good, because I'm using psr s670.

[@paulmutter8301]

... and all the rest :) Does the korg have dj styles?

[@eldreddsouza9813]

Uhmm.... Naming the styles should've been considered 🙄

[@kevintaylor7239]

Quite a lot of bios toward the Yamaha, everything demonstrated on the Korg was poor choice of voices and very short bursts of a voice, sounded amateur. The Korg is far better that what was demonstrated here, I've seen it done to a much better standard.

[@davidbento9459]

Now all confused,, I was ready to get a PSR s770 I want Jazz and Latin, the percussions seem to sound better for that on the Korg, Oh what to do???

[@studiomao1116]

For jazz and latin Psr sounds better and also you can put new sounds ( free from the net) in it very easyly. It is more complicated on a PA.

[@BRIGTSON]

I owned psr 770 but I feel korg keys has wonderful system sounds and styles planning to buy korg PA 1000

[@tasvirebidar4135]

I don't know why some dudes talk so sure about one over the other it's not too easy at least to make a precise opinion. When it comes to rhythm I think Korg a has more realism and balance when it comes to sound overall yamaha wins. But korg sounds to be better for live performances .

[@pablosotomayorcampoverde4104]

En funcionalidades..edición .. afinación.. 24 Osciladores de korg pa 700 y más cosas para sonar con más peso como se dice, korg. Aunq soy usuario de yamaha psr s970 y con Samples bien hechos es otra cosa.. Ya depende con que realismo tu quieras sonar , estoy pensando en comprarme la pa1000, pero me acuerdo q salió la psr sx900 y le da batalla en sonido al korg pa 4x.. Observen los videos en KZbin.

[@luiscarloscamilodossantos427]

Korg verygood

[@quocnhachannel7794]

pa 700 win.

[@semibeny]

Korg pa 700 👍

[@trafalgar1938]

Don't forget the sound product comes from the speakers. I see you using the same speakers for both keyboards but the Yamaha speakers are 15 watt and the Korg are 25 watt. If played through their own speakers opinions and choice could be totally different. Touch screen is much better too. All this and I am a Yamaha guy.

[@arturmkrtchyan902]

Korg💪💪💪

[@denishsjoseph5619]

pa is the best

[@rajendrang9466]

korg is the best ever eve!!!

[@lukasfernandez5119]

Nem comparação PA 700 muito melhor

[@regutel8826]

Style and Voice Yamaha is the best. Yamaha's guitar is the better, but bass and organ is the better in Korg.

[@mullerj6231]

even in yamaha

[@giusepperosa4379]

Yamaha PSR S770 Win!!!

[@paraginstrumentals]

Yamaha is much better here. Korg is totaly disapointment, but may be mastering can help.

[@allanjoshua2009]

I Own A Yamaha. Still I think Styles And Voices Are much Better in korg

[@madjazzmike]

Hi’- As a” workstation” ( Korg) is far above ‘ Yam , in many aspects ‘ same “ Old “ sounds for years on “Yam , organs not real samples etc ,drums are awful , Korg” organs Real samples, drums fab’ , in last 2 years Korg have advanced , every model has 3 sounds “ top , & these new “ boards are now very ,User Friendly , this is my “ personal comment -only of course , I’ve had them all over the years . Cheers to you all .

[@bikerbisht110]

Keybords have come a long way since the Lowry organs with their ABC ... ha ha

[@informingbit4069]

[@tritlk7172]

Cha này dìm hàng Korg rồi

[@benjaminmartin7702]

yamaha sound like a toy, it even feels like the keys might brake. All the cheap plastic body not worth the price. korg and roland they sound more realistic. I tried many brands and that is my conclusión.

[@corinat08]

Your having a laugh if you think that I have had both Korg and Yamaha but Yamaha wins the day

[@mattbwright]

The Korg doesn’t sound realistic, midi tones
