Korg PA1000 worth to buy...its more cheaper than yamaha SX900

[@nickbeqiri2289]

@@wan-hb1dh cheaper yes.. but has more to offer because of a higher price "Like newer engine/sound card & it also has Arpegios which Korg doesn't" - the SX900 has really become the perfect all around keyboard (or Genos the Bigger brother), nothing compares to them since this new Update 2.0 (Korg has the OS3.0 update which is the maximum 600mb for voices which is preety good, but Yamaha with the 2.0 update took it further and more effects and so on, and just wait for the next big update in the next 8-10-12 months which will go even further), if Korg don't come out with a new Pro5X or something, they're done just like Roland! Yamaha really surpassed everyone right now.. but this Korg Pa1000 isn't bad at all for the money, tons of features and very rich in sound, but very bad KEYBED, the worst I've seen.. just can't play on it and that's where they messed up BIG TIME! Woudn't mind paying extra $100-150 to have a really good keybed, it's horrible what they put in there some cheap $50 plastic!

@@wan-hb1dh in India the yamaha is cheaper

[@Ipaqalypse]

@@nickbeqiri2289 There are Arpeggios in Korg PA1000 and the Sound engines in both are pretty comparable. I own over 20 keyboard and i can personally say it comes down to preference on what the type of sound it is that your looking for. I have been on the Yamaha side for a while, but now tend to go more with Korg because of quality and sound. In defense of both keyboards there are unique sound signatures you get with each brand. Personally i find the Korg one better because of feel and size (but also ease of customization of sound quality). Korg also offersTC-Helicon and Defined Nuance Controls which make the Korg experience very realistic and personal. Don't get me wrong neither one are perfect, and no keyboard ever is (hence my growing collection over the years lol). Overall it really comes down to preference and what sound your are looking for and what interface you are most familiar with (not a factor if you are new to both thought). If you are into nice sounding pianos then definitely korg, but Other instruments sound better on Yamaha - But in all honesty both are capable of some pretty amazing sounds with the right amount of tweaking.

[@HarvinderSingh-yy8th]

Right findings.

[@solentflyerparagliding]

Great comparison although as arranger keyboards, you also need to think about ease of use and user interface - how easy is it to operate either at home recording or arranging or live when gigging...ease of use and ability to actually operate it is also important - for me the Yamaha seems to offer the best combination of sound quality, versatility and ease of use...

[@italo_spotter]

Totally agree, that's why I sold a Roland BK9 to buy this sx900

[@HubertEtAlice]

The Yamaha sounds way more modern to my ears. Two drawbacks: 1. Way too much reverb is being applied by default to the samples. 2. Some of the samples have been around for decades literally, for instance the tenor and the soprano saxophone. Also it must be noted that on the Korg everything is fully tweakable. Not everyone is aware that there is a fully-fledged synth hiding behind every PA arranger which is certainly a great plus for Korg.

[@JoeBearPA]

Thank you for this information... I was trying to decide between the Yamaha, and the Korg to purchase (although considering the PA4X 76)..I want Vocal features... and this Yamaha had them... but having been an old Yamaha owner PSR-600, I was impressed, but always had that "Too Modern" feeling left in me. I am a trained musician and like a sound more closely related to "analog".

The SX won it for me for sheer usability and the ability to change any sounds to my preferance and save in a few easy steps. Keybed also felt the best on the SX which was a surprise.... Also managed to load the nice CFX Piano. Its a simple case of what works best for you....try them all out with good quality headphones...

[@amusic9825]

SX900 has no CFX grand samples like on MODX or Genos which should be included in the SX900. They are always putting shitty dated crappy piano sample in their PSR keyboards. Genos has C7 so it wouldn't hurt to have CFX grand in the SX700, 900.

[@tkarlmann]

How is the CFX Piano voice working for you? How much memory did it take? How happy are you with it compared to the Grand Piano already in the SX? Did you put the CFX into the SX900 directly, a Memory Stick, or a computer? Current price at Sweetwater is $159. Worth it?

[@quentinmorgan3937]

The Yamaha uses more FX with its samples. I've been a Yamaha die hard for 25 yrs and they dont like you messing around with what THEY think you should sound like. You need a masters degree in particle science to edit the Korg and the forum rooms are empty of people who know how to edit. The manuals are written assuming you have that masters degree (which I have but not in Korg science) - but the hours drift away as I learn all the tweaks I can do to get the sound I want not what the manufacturer wants. Yamaha uses samples in the T5 I had in the Pro 9000 I had 18 years of cheating isn't on. Korg just seems to give you better samples, DSP, styles etc and trades up. In the end, it comes down to personal preference I think, just now I'm with Korg. With the Yamaha T5 you had these huge galactic big band intros which went into quite a bland style real night and day.

Korg PA series actually a DAW builtin keyboard that you can do almost everything from composing to sound editing to live performance no need for expensive DAW pc system, a thing it lacks is video output with touch support on the bigger screen. The professional musical would love it Yamaha PSR series is for home hobby people that styles and sound are tunes to most pleasant and inspiring while playing and create your own with minimal learning time, a professional musician will need a Yamaha friendly DAW software like Cube, Sonar. The similarity to the Yamaha PSR series would be the Suzuki Audya keyboard, the Pegasus keyboard, the Roland arranger keyboard or more editing and tweaking Casio MZ-X500.

[@GaryMCurran]

Thanks Justin! I asked for this about two weeks ago, and here it is. That's really appreciated. Okay, I'm not listening with the greatest speakers, or my better headphones, but here's my opinion. For the first time in a long time, Yamaha is as good as Korg. The Genos took the first step in that direction, but on a $5,300 USD keyboard, I expect it to be D***** good. Especially when the PA4X is over $1,000USD less expensive and sounds just as good. However, here in the States, the price between these two keyboards is just a couple of hundred dollars, and I could get one of each for the price of the PA4x, and half of another one for the price of the Genos, and that doesn't include the speaker systems for the PA4X or the Genos! I am very happy with the sounds of both keyboards. I've always believed that Yamaha over-processes their samples and it makes them 'fatter', but somewhat unrealistic. Korg doesn't, or at least not as much, giving IMHO a much truer sound. In this particular setup, I think I would tweak the EQ of the PA1000 up a bit and tweak the EQ of the PSR-SX900 down just a bit, at least in the mid and high ranges. Yamaha also seems to be more 'song-specific' with a lot of their styles, which is fantastic if you want to play that song, but if you aren't playing that song, it sounds kind of weird. You're associating the style with a certain song, and then not playing that song. I prefer a more generic accompaniment like the Korg offers. I think the only way, at least for me, out of this would be to buy one of each. The one thing that they are missing, and this applies to both of them. I wish that both of them were more like the PA4X and Genos and had nine sliders that can be used for drawbars. Either that, or I would love to see someone create an aftermarket drawbar controller with 9 each for upper and lower and two for the bass. MIDI controlled with different MIDI outputs for each set of drawbars and a third for the pedals, or the option to map the pedals to one of the either two outputs. IIRC, you were creating a setup using the PA-1000 and a M-Audioi Keystation 61 key controller, which is great, but I really would like to see a setup more like what you have shown here with a 25 note pedal board and a MIDI drawbar controller as outlined above. Lots of functionality is something like that, for sure.

The issue with yamaha keyboard is that one needs to bash on the keys in order to get the guitars and some saxophones to be audible (I have got the SX700). Otherwise the sound is quite discret most of the time compare to the level of the style. And quite often we have got this same behavior with pianos too. I also experience this same issue on the Yamaha MODX 8 Plus. There is a very big jump between pianos and synth/drum sound.

[@johnhorazy12notes]

The difference is the speakers. Korg has more watts in the speakers. The deeper sound in the Korg can be matched in the Yamaha by changing the key and or octave button. The voices and Styles in Yamaha has more selections. Korg beats Yamaha in price MSRP. My preference is that the makers of the keyboards need to design the keyboard for the player in keeping more styles, voices with more layering. No need for voice mic sounds and inputs for guitar. The red color is great on Korg. Varsity in color selection would be nice like, blue, red, wood etc....plastic is plastic and a minor thing to provide color. Tilt screen is great but glare and reflection is always an issue.

[@quentinmorgan3937]

John, look up Corsair SP2500 speaker system, read the reviews. 232 watts RMS and with switchable DSP'S and EQ's with a 4th order sub woofer, the satellites are 4" but with a 1" dome tweeter they are absolutely awesome. I have two pairs in a music room / medium large bedroom and I have been able to tune into the room and the Korg. The girls at home sing so I have quite a lot going on. One pair will blast away anything Korg or Yamaha offers and I'm not just talking about volume. The sub speaks at v low volumes, only thing is you'll need stands and about 6' apart to appreciate stereo DSP'S and stereo pianos. I paid £50 for a second hand pair and bought the other pair new.

Hola! Creo que hay una diferencia entre un teclado de 61 y 76 teclas, y tambien en el precio. Yamaha es bastante mas caro….Creo no equivocarme pero el korg tiene 128 polifonias frente a yamaha, 256 … importante tambien. En cuanto a los sonidos, los pianos acusticos de korg dejan bastante que desear, y las guitarras tanto acusticas como electricas, son muy flojas. Los organos, trompetas, sax etc no estan mal. Yo tengo el korg pa1000 y ya digo que echo de menos un teclado al menos de 76 teclas, es cierto que estoy acostumbrado al piano acustico de 88 teclas. En cuanto a los ritmos, veo que es cuestion de gustos como todo, el korg no esta mal, aunque es “ complicadillo” de programar, tiene algunas cosas absurdas como mutear la mano izquierda constantemente, es decir, tienes que hacer una programacion un tanto pesada para configurar todo el teclado. Tirando piedras a mi propio tejado veo mas profesional el yamaha, aunque repito vale bastante mas caro…. Hay una demo del genos que te deja planchado, el teclista es brutal.

[@mrchow3233]

Both are good, but I prefer the Korg more.

[@suvesuven9156]

Korg is quiet discipline and perfect but Yamaha is really cool and the stylish king 👑

[@dominggusdominggusg7252]

Pasti keduanya memcerminkan wajah Jepang yang terbaik🙏

KORG is the best Indonesia 🇲🇨

[@junkokinoko7277]

Enjoyed your comparison - so which one would you choose- I need to decide soon? Thanks

[@CPMStudioMIDI]

É uma questão de gosto e de preferência, qnd está acostumado a tocar em um teclado tudo parece melhor, eu prefiro os teclados da Yamaha, por questão de gosto, mas observando a comparação no vídeo, vc observa o qnt os instrumentos de forma tem evoluído, principalmente a Yamaha que em quesitos de timbres era tipo com instrumentos de brinquedo, e hoje bate de frente com os pa’s da vida!! Parabéns a duas fabricante que melhoram bastante suas devices, falta melhorar o preço!!!

[@fnonaka]

só as teclas continuam as mesmas né? kkk Parece que mudaram o nome das teclas, melhorou um pouquinho, mas continuam ainda super leves, num teclado caríssimo! Quase o preço de um workstation profissional!

[@CPMStudioMIDI]

@@fnonaka rapaz pura verdade, as teclas dele ainda precisa melhorar, e ruído das teclas que o psr sx900 e 700 faz nas teclas, cara pra essa tecnologia mais nova que a Yamaha implementou nesse novos teclados, poderia ter colocado uma teclas melhores!!

[@ubanoskrap5738]

i like both sounds, but to be honest when i used yamaha sx900 in a real band, it compressed the sound i don't know why. I'm a korg user before but i want to use this korg pa1000 in a real full band too i hope it will be suit for me. thanks for posting this video.

[@AbhisekChakravorty]

No doubt the Yamaha sounds much brighter and full

Imagínense un yamaha con la tarjeta de sonido de korg 😱😱😱😱 oh lala chulada. Es lo único que pido de yamaha una mejor tarjeta de sonido que no sature.

[@MexlycanFilmico]

If you open a Korg product, it has yamaha micro chips inside, does that tell you something?

[@4thesakeofitname]

Yes, first of all both are Japanese brands, and second, Yamaha is related with Korg... from wikipedia: *In 1989, Korg recruited the design team from Sequential Circuits as they were relieved of their duties by then-Sequential owner Yamaha. Yamaha Corporation has always been a major partner of Korg, supplying them with circuitry and mechanical parts. In 1987, shortly before the release of the M1 Music Workstation, Yamaha acquired a controlling interest in Korg. The takeover of the company was amicable, with Kato drawing up the terms, and the two companies continued to independently develop their product lines and compete in the marketplace. After 5 successful years, Kato had sufficient funds to repurchase most of the Yamaha share in 1993.* However, note that two chefs could make two different deserts from the exact same ingredients couldn't they... And considering the fact that electronic music instruments depend on dedicated electronic chips, in the world of electronics this is best done in Japan, and Yamaha is a huge supplier of such musical chips to all over the world.

[@knmyak]

Yamaha is the Winner. Korg sounds a bit old but has a warm organsound. Yamaha has a brilliant open realistic sound. My ears would not accept anything else than Yamaha.

[@GaryMCurran]

The nice thing is that for a matter of a couple of hundred dollars (in US Money) you do get very two similar sounding keyboards. To ME, the Yamaha sounds more 'tweaked', reverb, EQ, etc. This isn't unusual for a manufacturer to do, since it's done in the studios for the listening public. Most people who buy these keyboards aren't engineers and are looking for the final product, not the steps necessary to get there. Korg, on the other hand doesn't use as much processing as Yamaha does, and it gives it a 'thinner' sound. But, sit down side by side with a real instrument, and Korg shines for it's realism. Personally, I like both sounds, I realize Yamaha processes the heck out of their stuff, even the raw sample stuff, and Korg doesn't, but in this case, it's the end process and how you get there that counts. To me, either one works for MY playing and recording style.

[@knmyak]

@@GaryMCurran I can see what you mean. I am an old man and don´t have the time to tweak all the sounds I need from scratch. Fpr me time is money and I thank Yamaha to take the time to tweak the sounds for me. I like to play not to tweak sounds. On Yamaha the sounds are ready to play.

[@GaryMCurran]

@@knmyak I totally understand, which is why Yamaha does that. It's personal preferred. For me, I would be happy to have both of them.

[@gabrielzambranamoreno9226]

I am so excited, i bought Yamaha SX900 oN december 20, 2019... On february 7, 2020 bought SX700; Today May, 21, 2021 I sold my SX700 for buying Korg PA1000, I Reserved it with 70% of payment. Did I do a good choice???

[@cinepost]

I would guess that the Korg worked out well for you?

[@gabrielzambranamoreno9226]

@@cinepost Yamaha is better un many things, in 4 years i could listen Sounds and Styles also with Samples, and definitively SX900 has elegants and stylized Sounds, anda also the Styles are more elegants including in Breaks and Variations , KORG PA1000 is rustic

So you are saying Yamaha is sweeter to the ear? Even the SX700?@@gabrielzambranamoreno9226

Yamaha é mais comercial aqui no meu estado, na hora de uma troca é mais valorizado!

[@majdkourbaj9763]

I love both Yamaha as a guitar and KORG as a piano

[@GJAkuo]

What ? It should be yamaha for voices n korg for styles. The voices on korg sound computer generated. The styles sound real af tho.

ambos son hermosos.. una prgunta en si cual es mejor en estas dos series el korg 1000 o un yamaha prs sx975,, gracias .. y cuanto vale cada uno

[@naebeltistgallant776]

Mein Favorit ist das Yamaha PSR SX 900

[@jetwoman10001]

Tears in Heaven beautiful on both

[@rafpekunico48]

Per quanto riguarda i suoni singoli sono belli per entrambi gli arranger ma per quanto riguarda gli styles la PSR sx900 è molto(much more😄) superiore per qualità e modernità delle impasti sonori degli arrangiamenti.

[@tim789jesus]

I think the Yamaha sounds better, but I believe Korg Keyboards generally have better facilities for building and editing songs. I have a Tyros which sounds wonderful but not so easy to edit the songs as could be.

[@eldreddsouza9813]

The PA700 is simply a mighty good keyboard. Packed with features and has some pretty decent styles. Also don’t forget the price difference between the two. Imo KORG is hands down a bang for the buck.

[@c4psswe950]

Eldred Dsouza i agree with you, the clear winner is yamaha, but of course if you compare korg that almoste half the price to yamaha then korg is most bang for the buck absolutly, and a few sounds actually sounded better on korg, not many but a few, but at the end of the day i assume its just a question of taste 🙂

[@DJpiya1]

Dude this is PA1000

[@christoph_fer]

PA1000 is very expensive for something that sounds like some CASIO arranger.

[@DJpiya1]

@@christoph_fer finally somebody tells the truth 😊😊

[@c4psswe950]

Jupp, ill stand corrected, did thought it was the 700, but still a question of taste, but yeah it was way more expensive then the 700 i thought it was 😋

[@zsoltzenesz8058]

Korg Pa1000 👑🎹 The best

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

What is the keybed action like on either? I hate cheap bad action. Both these sound good

[@michaelsmith697]

The Yamaha keyboard action is far better and easier to control than the Korg, which has a short area of playability. The Korg action gets too stiff towards the inner parts, whereas the Yamaha is more easier to press and play near the black keys area

There is something wrong with the sound of SX 9000. It is sound anemic and bright. The real SX900 sound a bit dull and with good mid low frequency. Seems the sound of SX 900 was EQ badly.

[@mcnovae7456]

I have already the PA1000 , do I need to buy the SX900 ?

[@TheJohndenhaag]

If you can buy and effort it, why not??? Every keyboards has always + and - ,you combine than you have an awesome keyboard of course!

[@TheJohndenhaag]

In my opinion, KORG technically can do more also for professionals,needs a lot experiences and Yamaha has sweet styles, for the beginner, is a user-friendly keyboard without demanding. It is your choice and needs?

[@mcnovae7456]

I create electro style music (like Jarre, Vangelis,...) , perhaps Korg is better for that ? Thanks i subscribe

please dont buy yamaha your korg pa1000 is 1000times greater. anyway if you wish to buy yamaha please by me a one 🙋🏻‍♂️😄😎😎😎
