Korg Pa4X Arranger Workstation Keyboard - Demo with Steve McNally

[@mykorgchannel3831]

Good to see Steve McNally playing the flagship Korg, I remember speaking with Steve many moons ago when the Korg PA80 was the king of the keyboard world, and it so happened at that time Steve was indeed in a Parking lot sat in his car talking to me in little England (GB) on his cell phone :) it was a pleasure to chat him keep up the good work Steve greetings and merry XMAS!

[@davidmartin123]

Great job showing the capabilities of this keyboard. I'm more of a music workstation type and honestly did not know what these professional arranger keyboards were all about. Now I get it. It's my childhood 1-finger chord progression plus rhythm Casio on steroids. And I understand how the one-man-show cruise ship lounge musicians/singers put together their set. Standard track-based sequences would have taken forever to lay down and configure for performance, so they must have had a professional arranger keyboard like this! Now where's my Mai Tai...

[@patrickfreeman4135]

I now have a Korg PA4x, Wow !!! is all I can say. I play in Nursing Home the sounds are great. I am still learning on it. This keyboard Rocks.

[@fredvillaume8490]

[@dr.kenmahood4917]

I own a Kawai CP-207. The Leslie is keyed by the UNA CORDA pedal....this guy has to use his left hand to slow the Leslie, Much easier using my left foot.. When I owned an X77 Hammond organ we used the mechanical Leslie switch on the left BUT we had pedals for the bass to keep the sound going--this simple keyboard is far more inferior, and I'm only using one example. Also, this is not 88 key and I would never go near anything but wooden weighted 88 keys.

[@GPWENG]

It's called progress. You can achieve the same functionality you describe with trigger pedals and assign functions to it. The PA4x is a masterpiece.

[@BRbassedu]

Seeing as you can assign a foot switch for Joystick's +Y on Kronos, I don't see why they'd have left it out on PA4x. Most likley it just wasn't relevant to mention on the video. As for your keybed choice, that's a tremendous mistake. Surely, most of it falls back to the user's preference, but buying an arranger or workstation KB, on which you may need to to perform... lots of things other then pianos, EPs, and orchestral sounds, fully weighted keys get on the way. Even worst for wooden. As an organist, this should have been quite obvious for you. Is there even a PA4x competitor (thus in the Arranger cathegory) with fully weighted 88 keys keybed? Sounds quite absurd to me. It's weird enough on a WS, let alone on a Arrenger XD Cheers

[@hemidesign]

I just heard the sample from the Yamaha Genos keyboard and the guy who play's the instrument (Martin Harris), which are both MONSTERS, sorry Korg, you got no chance at all!

[@jadams3427]

[@gabrielmagno2595]

I own a Kork Krome and there is no phone number available to talk to a tech as there is with Yamaha and other companies. This is stumbling block as to whether or not I will buy another Korg product.

Great Demo.

[@adysoferu]

most of the tings are old stuf. You Cand find them even on the pa1x pro, but gerenarlly a good keybord, even if the difference between tha Pa3x and Pa4x isn't so big

[@DrHeinzDoofenshmirtz]

Hey, is it possible after recording something with a style, to only edit ie. the bass of that style? So I have a style, I love everything about it, except I want another bass, or the drums has to be a little bit different, can I then change that and keep the rest of the style?

[@johnnypiano1212]

Yes it certainly is... you can change everything, patch, drum kits, effects, EQ.. even the the riffs themselves. And the action is SO much 'nicer' than the tyros... and the fact that you can upload a midi file and it'll convert it to a style is gold dust...

[@tracyyy99]

YES...I have a PA300 and you can edit all instruments in ALL styles on the pa300, so pa4x should also have this facility...eg...std drums change to techno drums, slap bass to finger bass...piano to strings...you get the drift...

[@sclogse1]

[@terrific-bats]

[@patsaxon5284]

It is too bad that arranger keyboards are not so popular in America. The only manufacture that promotes using orchestrated background styles is Lowrey. But the problem is that Lowrey only limits their Virtural Orchestra instruments to the elderly and the retired, as these wonderful instruments can be enjoyed by any age group.

[@tomeknowakowski2923]

An interesting instrument. Well made and good sounding. The sounds are good. Today, for 1000 dollars on a computer, you can produce a song in studio quality. In further development, Korg should maximize the size of the samples. Genos took a big step forward and the styles sound more interesting, more dance than in Koru. Korg should employ good aranzers who would make more professional styles, squeeze out the maximum possibilities of the instrument, especially in the rhythms of Dance, disco 80 years, and more synthetic sounds with high sampling for this music. I am waiting impatiently for the successor of Korga Pa 4x.

[@samlynn1171]

Would you recommend the Genos or this korg?

[@asrivastav1gmailcom]

Korg PA 4x anyday.... sound output you get when plug Korg keyboards on stage speakers is incomparable. Normal speakers do not do much justice to all inbuilt waveform and sounds, but when you plug this instrument to real speakers, is when you realise the sound quality. Nothing comes close to it. Considering the fact that you need this instrument for real performances, or studio recordings because that is where you need keyboards like PA4x and Genos.... Lastly, Genos does not look good. It is fat, shapeless, non stylish. God knows what the designers of Genos ate before starting the designing of the instrument. Tyros was such a smart looking instrument. Korg PA 4x is the smartest looking and best sounding Arranger keyboard in the market.

[@peruvianmidilover1216]

Sam Lynn Genos is the best arranger on the market, it has the sound of the incredible Yamaha CFX piano but also it has the sound of the most recorded piano in history, the Yamaha C7. Genos has the most realistic sounds on the market with Super Articulation 2 technology and Megavoices Technology, but also it has a lot of Drum kits, with up to 26 layers stereo drum samples and wave cycling.

[@debraschrock7328]

Help! Can anyone suggest a good keyboard with several different blues accompaniment sounds so music doesnt get stale?

[@nickienok9643]

I have the Kronos 2, and after 2 years, I am still utterly amazed at how fantastic it sounds, and how powerful a workstation it really is. Best of all, and this really is important, look at how many 3rd party sound designers are offering high end professional sounds. For the Kronos, the library of 3rd party sounds is staggering, i just bought these top notch orchestral/choir sounds, and I feel like I just bought a brand new 2018 workstation with state of the art, movie quality orchestral sounds, it's unbelievable! Plus, I've yet to see a sequencer that's as powerful as the Kronos, I've been sequencing Bach and Mussorgsky's compositions, and the Kronos can handle such masterpiece compositions just fine. If money is no object, the Kronos is my suggestion, you can't go wrong. The others are all good, for sure, but it's a question, do you want the best or just real good synths/workstations - i think at this point, anything you pick will be nice. But Kronos is not just nice, it's awesome!

Dear Manufacturers of Yamaha, Casio, Roland, Korg, M-AUDIO, Novation keylaunch Keyboard Engineers, I humbly request you all, Either your Keyboards are good quality or bad quality, First you modify and add 8 Tone Registration banks buttons towards right side of the keyboard as it is in PSR 1100 & PSR 2100, which will be more convenient to operate immediately the tones one after the other during live programs Or for Studio Recordings. But where as I have come across most of the Yamaha, Casio, Roland, Korg keyboards, which is most inconvenient to operate the tone banks, which is in Calculator type, I deeply hesitate this type of worst egineering plan, Don't say that this type of engineering plan is impossible in this modern technology. Everything is possible but except giving life to human body. Dear Amazon, Flipkart, or any other sellers, I kindly request you to intimate this issue to the keyboard manufacture, I am writing this review on behalf of all Keyboard players, Thanks & Regards , Elkana David, KGF.

Dude's acting like the dual rotary acceleration system hasn't been done by everyone the last 15 years. And not just that. Every feature shown here is old and overdone. The sound quality overall is good though. But still don't pretend that the saxophone captures the "nUancES" of the real thing. Demo should be 1 min long, saying: "Well, it's the same thing you've seen before, but we've improved the sounds a little. Now pay 3.5 grand".

[@nickienok9643]

Holy smoke, is it really that expensive? How's it compare to the Kronos, I looked at the specs, doesn't seem to even come close, yet this guy is telling us it's their flagship workstation. Does it even have 9 synth engines or a full fledge sequencer, not to mention 54 G internal HD as on the Kronos? It does look beautiful, the screen is a HUGE improvement from Korg's rather boring white lit screen. But face it, when I hear it doing things the Kronos does, I may consider a rack mount if they ever come up with one. They make these master keyboards, where are all the rack mounts to go with them, we don't need more than one 88 keyboard, that's more than enough! He Bo, I think you're exactly right, just another excuse for Korg to sell a synth that's already been done a thousand times. But I love the new screen, beautiful! And it tilts, it's about time! Put the outside features on the Kronos, and you have one hell of a workstation!

Promoting lots of retro hardware is just a manufacturer's ploy to get money out of people when they realised that making music on computers with software made far less profit for them. I started with hardware music in the late 70s, spent loads of money on it until I went digital in 2004 and have bought pretty much no hardware since. Would never ever go back to the bad old days of expensive clutter and spaghetti junction in my home when I have one computer, one card, one controller and one mixer and one software.

Instrumetn with high potential, but the Korg company should focus on style dance as Yamaha does. Many styles are not needed at all. Dance styles are the basis, and in Korg such lacking. The method of arranging a large part of styles is also very unfinished. More synth sounds for dance, disco 80s and decent drums for dance, techno, pop, because those which instrument is medium to me. 20% style is useful. Let Korg master Yamaha's example of how it's done. Of course Korg's sound has better but worse styles.
