Yamaha Tyros 5 VS Korg PA3x

[@LUCKYDUCKIES]

I only compare not on this video, but with the two machines in my hands and listening it directly with my hears. These are 2 great enternainer keyboards. I wish them luck!

[@mattley007]

I use Korg, Yamaha and Nord keyboards and between these 2, the sounds are really high quality. Both workstations have it's positive and negative attributes.

[@eltijuanaco]

I'm a song writer. I don't have a band. I can tell you all arrangers have pros and cons. I have a PA3x, Motif XS6, MOXF6, Roland BK-9. All for a reason.

[@bobjennings9889]

The best thing is to have both if you can afford it! I entertained on a Korg PA 500 for a year at a restaurant bar in Palm Springs California and had a great crowd! Now I have a Tyros4 and a Korg Microarranger (Light weight to carry for an instant gig) and a Casio Privia and many times use all three together as you can see on many of my videos on here. The sound also depends on your speaker system which is just as important as the keyboard. Check them out!

[@حسينالخليفة-ف6ط]

Bob Jennings I will bye the yamaha genos

[@bmhs90100]

Cant help it.. I like the Korg, it sounds better in my ears. Nice camparison!!!

[@LyanSav]

Korg sounds amazing but Yamaha sounds real!

[@daniobaid]

I am also A pianist the best thing that no body talked about is his choices of songs to demonstrate Brilliant

[@III-oq4xu]

Tyros has this thin musician feelings that PA series will never met

[@22davenuts]

jajaja !

[@MFBlueFly]

You can't really compare on the tube, I heard the Tyros last Saturday and had a go on it and it is an amazing instrument with amazing sounds, I haven't had chance to have a go on a Korg but I bet it's also amazing, you just have to go with what you prefer but don't judge it on here, go and see them in the flesh, it's much better that way. Just my pennies worth. :o)

[@djtyros]

i've always had Yamaha (save my first casio ;) ) And I'd probable call myself a tyros fan boy. So for this comparison, It was obvious they were alternating between tyros and korg, so I scrolled down so I could only see the times slider, and started at 3:48 marking down my favourite sounds.... he Korg surprisingly came out on top.. really shocked tbh... I've never invested any time into comparing the two, and must say im thinking of doing just that before splashing out on a t5...

[@YoshimusicLive]

Both Keys got their highlights: Tyros got SuperArticulation!2 and nice guitar, PA3X got TC Helicon VoiceLive II and punchy drums. I used to play a Tyros 4 together with PA600 to compare the pro´s and con´s of both instruments. Depending on which brand you prefer you will always find downsides in the "opponent´s" instruments. As I said, it´s the personal taste of each other which sound is better. I like Tyros for Pianos, Guitars and styles. KORG for E-Pianos, Organs and Drums. So please stop calling one of those instruments "Crap" or "sh*t" ;-)

[@freeman88842]

KORG in my heart

[@JokerMansBeats]

ive been debating on which one to buy...this video showed me what i needed to hear. guess I'll be picking up a Tyros! it just sounds so much more lush, crisp, both thick & bright at the same time & sounds so much more realistic. korg pax on the other hand just sounds so flat & thin. i was leaning towards the pax but after hearing the difference side by side. think I'll be picking up a tyros now. Thanks for the upload

[@PufiKwiek1997]

Korg !!! Korg have good deeep voice and style i like thet

[@LiFeeIsSMusicC]

Tyros 5 is the best immitator by far. XD Just listen to those guitar, organ and jazzy sounds... Just Incomparable!

[@Wilsonnishi]

Hello. Great test thanks. This time there is no doubt at all. And I mean not at all. Tyros 5 is the winner on all parameters. Regards W.N.

[@hacker2cracker]

Please do a Tyros 5 VS the new Korg PA4x

[@renoruberts]

KORG Pa3X, love it very much for its brighter sound

[@robertroesler8023]

I have a Yamaha Moxf. Both of these keyboards sounded very good. Yes, they were different sounding. I didn't think either was significantly better but the Korg was slightly more realistic. I would base my decision on the other features and price.

[@badrinarayanr]

Aaaand the Tyros wins hands down! And I can't say that isn't because the Tyros looks so amazing compared to the Korg

[@dimitrischeilakis]

Lol guys it seems that you do not know anything about the korg's editability and effects. You can edit all those sounds and styles to sound way more realistic than those of the Tyros. It's just that when it comes to factory settings out of the box, korg has always a disadvantage in every synth or arranger out there (lazy programming I would guess), so everything needs a little tweaking. Thank god, the korg effects section is the best than any hardware brand out there, and in my opinion: the factory setups are for losers - want sound? Get your ass down and make it (Ok I am not suggesting that you have to tweak every factory aspect though, but the best players play with their own setups, presets, tweaked sounds and styles). :)

[@idaveit]

Hi, at 0:22 you change the piano sound to "Mellow Pad". I have a Tyros 5 but I can't find that sound. Can you tell me where to find it? Thank you!

[@wilky55]

Hi, the Mellow pad sound is found in the pad voice button screen page 4 of the Tyros 5. Its not a piano sound

[@idaveit]

Thank you very much!

[@harshrajsingh6426]

Sound didn't change it remained the same..The concert grand was upper 1 sound and the mellow pad was the upper 2 sound.

[@fredvillaume8490]

Korg PA3X is the best !! Despite the T5 sounds good, its price is nonsense, especially as it can't synchronize audio link pad with the style tempo. Crazy price for an incomplete keyboard !!

[@pcuimac]

PA3x does sounds a bit clearer with pianos to me. Yamaha sounds more cheesy. I am not a Korg fanboy quit contrary because of my Kronos 73 RH3 desaster experience, but the PA3x is the winner for me. The Organs seemd to be better on the Tyros but who knows what presets have been used. Some sounds are so very different you can not truly compare them objctively.

[@tyros4-robert729]

TYROS 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@claudioagmfilho16]

I am from Brazil south america a city called Recife and i loved this video from down here at this part of the world ...

[@ALEXFROST-nq5xy]

Korg--- SUPER !!!!!

[@knmyak]

And the winner is Tyros 5. Korg seems to have a wet blanket over it´s instruments. Tyros has a way better brilliance and clarity in the sounds.

[@cgereu]

That's the problem with Korg in general, they hide low quality of the samples in too much reverb. PA3x is a great example of that. The styles production value needs a lot of work, they really do not sound much better than $499 Korg Microarranger. Tyros is not so "in your face" but sounds more polished and balanced, closer to what you would do in a studio situation, although still far from what you would really do. The price of T5 is ridiculous but it's still a better one of the two. Both are highly overpriced.

[@honey4xi]

cgereu Good points.

[@ThiagoSecundo]

Franklin rodrigues the worst onstage sound output is Roland

[@majsterV]

You mean artificially boosted at top and bottom and widened sound stage. To give more wow impression of full sound which is actually less realistic compared to korg, which is better at mids and sub frequenciess. I give tyros a plus that is better prepared for occasional player who need ready to go machine from start and definitely has some better real instruments sound samples but that polished sound become boring very quickly and from this point korg start to beat tyros heavily.

[@carlovoena7186]

£😊​@@cgereu

[@ghjraitv]

The comparison is great. Thank you

[@FlatTire]

Is this Tyros ment to go along with Christmas tree decorations wit all those amusing lights? :D

[@GiovanniPuocci]

Wow What for a difference of quality. For me is the winner KORG PA3X. The tyros 5 have - much of the sounds like tyros 3 and 4 or not?

[@Naseemt]

To be honest, both are great giants. and each of them is better in a some certain types. However, the Tyros 5 is leading with the audio styles feature which gives more sound reality.

[@drinkinslim]

What's the song at 5:15? (I thought it was It Ain't Over 'til It's Over (by Lenny Kravitz) but I'm pretty sure it's actually something else.)

[@IanCanefire]

DrinkinSlim lovely day by bill withers

[@irfantopuz202]

Very nice sharing . Thank you. Yamaha unquestionable quality .

[@SamuelIvanenko]

I prefer tyros for guitars, violins, strings, etc. But for the piano, electric or not, the Korg is better. So for me, tyros 5 is the winner!

[@modhiab]

Korg Strings sound is better but all other sounds Tyros is far better

[@Avenger222]

It wasn't even close =/, the PA3x just gets outclassed

[@zachlafleur6651]

The major differences between the two: the Yamaha Tyros 5 has pitch bend and modulation wheels, the Korg PX3 has a joystick like device for both functions! On the Korg, you get a larger screen in a less obtrusive frame, but where is the music desk on the Korg? It looks as if the sound bar was placed where the music desk usually goes, whereas on the Yamaha, its speakers are at both ends of the top of the instrument and it actually has a subwoofer below, attached to the keyboard stand! This is great for bass pipe rendering for organ, bass guitar, bass viol, etc! Yamaha has a larger display panel for its screen, which also has buttons on each side, and its music desk above! Now, all that both companies have to do is make a dual manual version of these keyboards for the organists and wanna be organists to practice their music on!

[@joelm4858]

Korg by far it just sounds so much nicer!

[@MigMFITheBest]

I listen very carefuly both instruments: in my opinion Yamaha is more best, have natural and warm sound, Korg is good but in sound have artefacts, and sound is to hard, after 2 our i need to pause, but to Yamaha i can listen all night. But i felling something Yamaha is not conect in same source amplified like Korg, for some people listening Yamaha is in desavantage. Verdict Yamaha win, with good sound in club is the best

[@torilsusegg9572]

The Tyros wins! Better sound, and it looks good to. So I will sit down at my Tyros! The demo is super, so is your playing!

[@lucioreis9413]

Tyros 5 - it's my dream because it's a dream. The best in the world. I hope some day have one.

[@555ontario]

Once again pluses and minuses on both sides. Korg organ definitely won for me but I preferred the Yamaha piano sound... The Tyros has a more glossy processed sound but sounds great to me.

[@fiutare1]

The Tyros sounds much more better - even though the Korg stands on a Yamaha Stand: No chance at all. Beside that: The Tyros looks way smarter.

[@videaste59]

i've aPA3x and T4 the PA is a real workstation the T5 sound better the T4 but many fonctions are missing some sound are better on both but the price of the T5 is too high !!

[@gabriel88630]

ES VERDAD A MIGO YO TUBE TYROS Y LA VERDAD SI SON BUENOS PERO NADA MAS KORG ES MUCHO MAS EDITABLE Y SE LE SACA MAS JUGO ES DECIR UN PLUS MUCHO MAS QUE TYROS ME IMAGINO QUE T5 DESDE LUEGO LE LLEBA EN ALGUNAS COSAS VENTAJAS PERO HAY QUE ESPERAR U N NUEVO PA4X AHI SI SERIA COMO SIEMPRE SUPERIOR KORG SALUDOS

[@Ciobanu-Rafael]

Yamaha Tyros 5 win for me

[@sixto3000]

Today Korg has stood the test of time and continues to be one of the top companies for all products musical, including the ever-present category of digital pianos. There is no doubt that once in possession of a Korg, you truly have some value on your hands.

[@DrMichony]

Pa3X winner! That's my baby

[@johnparma1263]

what is the name of the song at 3:09?

[@dxjohncenacaz]

The Tyros 5 has just incredibly better sounds. Not saying that the PA3x is bad, just that the Tyros 5 is way better. They're both VERY good.

[@eugenecolin7350]

I totally agree with SLK Estudio. Korg is much better, sounds are more refined, arrangements more elaborated and the only reason Yamaha sounds better in SOME acoustic pianos, is because Yamaha make them, Korg don't... Another important point... Yamaha's keyboards are a lot cheaper than Korgs which makes then more popular. By the way, I own, and play, both of them.

[@djice1804]

Nice work, but what about the dance stuff, Guitars, world percussion etc? Coming soon? Thanks.

[@eldreddsouza9813]

Korg PA3X killed the competition altogether. Last best from the PA series!

[@vitaliyshevchenko2233]

Korg is always the best! Pa3x is the most powerful and amazing arranger in the world!

[@dxjohncenacaz]

They've both got their share of amazing sounds, but the Tyros 5 has better sounds.

[@davemagna8235]

Why these guys Always use différent sound ajustements for each keyboard ?

[@tomilee197578]

Korg forever !!!!!!!!!

[@ベンゲルのカナズミトム]

More like Korg for never!

[@wk8neluq]

korg the best

[@TelmoMonteiro]

I'm shocked! I found Korg better in some situations, like Eletric piano

[@tahsin660]

korg 3x number one

[@StudiosJuma]

Fui usuario Yamaha por mucho tiempo, la verdad para mi gusto el Korg PA3X es por mucho, mejor que el T5...

[@SharmankaMusic]

Korg PA3X - The BEST !!!

[@gricko1967]

Yes , together forever...

[@GiuseppeDeRosaDRStudio]

Do you like the yellow apple or apple red?

[@vicachcoup]

Very good playing.

[@baselogic9]

TYROS seems to win this competition ...tone color....woodwinds...guitar....but both keyboards are top notch of course, so the best way is to own both of them!!!!

[@filip487]

What song is this? 0:07

[@GaryMCurran]

My opinion is that the Yamaha has a better piano sound, but they've ALWAYS had the best piano sound in an electronic keyboard. I think the Pipe Organ is better in the Tyros, as is the mute trumpet, but the PA3X scroes points, too. But, then again, I'm biased since I own a PA800. GIven a choice, I'd take both!

[@WeaverJ576]

If you watch in the video, the Yamaha EQ is set to neutral but the Korg is tuned. Deceptive marketing, no matter which one you chose.

[@juanguifuentes]

por favor me podrian decir como se llama la cancion que toca en el momento que muestra en el ethereal style free play. se que la he oido pero no se donde

[@joeynuggetz]

Korg guitar sounds like a harpsichord in comparison to the Yamaha.

[@MauricioCarcara]

The two have their special sound. We are talking about professional keyboards. For me I would stay with the two to use maximum all the sounds and rhythm styles of each.-

[@sreepurammike]

Loved the Schindler list music

[@paulallenMacca]

Nice tune at the start whats it called and nice playing also.

[@OrgaforumRo]

LIKE YAMAHA !

[@MarioBertram1992]

YES !!!! Yamaha is the ONLY ONE. ;-)))

[@alexeylyagin1151]

Mario Bertram Я имел возможность сравнивать эти инструменты начиная с серии Korg Pa1xPro -Yamaha Tyros1 по Korg Pa 3X-Yamaha Tyros 5, хочу отметить что Yamaha хороша для работы в реальном времени, на свадьбах, кабаках и.т.д, Korg хорош для студийной работы. В реальном времени Yamaha звучит вкуснее, но при сведении проекта в DAW, треки инструментов замазываются, становятся как-бы мутнее, это связано с излишним приукрашиванием звуков ревербератором и эквалайзером. Korg-же на первый взгляд звучит суховат, но при сведении проекта в DAW получает более читаемый прозрачный материал. Ymaha выигрывает во внешнем виде, вся как-бы светится, но если сравнивать звучание в слепую, восприятие поменяется. Нужно учитывать цели и задачи покупая тот или иной инструмент исходя ещё из стоимости самого инструмента. Как говорится всё в этом мире относительно.

[@solomonpk]

both of these are awesome...... I mean if I have time to practice and set up the voice I need, then I'd go for the korg.. but to play by the ear for a random song live or to play with my friends for fun, I'll go for the Yamaha which has everything set already at the press of a button....

[@juicebox_music]

To be honest, you can't compare either keyboard to the kronos or motif. They are workstations. These are arrangers or arranger workstations. There are two different flagships for each type of keyboard. Their functions are different, so it's not fair to say one doesn't have this thing when it's not supposed to!

[@juicebox_music]

I know, it's just that someone was comparing the Tyros 5 and PA3x to the XF and the Kronos, when they do different things.

[@MegaSyntec]

Both are great , but Korg looks more professional and powerful.

[@nirbhay2417]

Yamaha is Yamaha... Nobody can beat it.

[@JohanBrodd]

Both keyboards has their strengths and weaknesses. I personally tend to go with Korg more often, but the Yamaha sounds really awesome however a tad bit pricey for my taste and wallet.

[@FERNANDO98109]

bien la demostraciòn ahora que hagan uno mostrando la calidad del tyros 5 y la calidad del korg kronos cual de los dos es mejor dando la batalla en sonido styles voices y armonia y sobre todo la intencidad del sonido de piano de cola

[@MrYamaha413]

haven't seen much tyros on professional stage but plenty of korg pa3x so i would judge from that which is better

[@Justin0115z]

Excuse me, but the steel guitar sound what was that song you were playing?

[@lambertkonings3371]

A video published in 2013 and that I watch in 2021 ! Today the comparison will be Korg Pa4X (v.3) vs Yamaha Génos (V.2) ... and I think the remarks would be the same. Musician friends can you help me ? what is the best instrument to make people dance ... BUT ... only with styles : Pa4X ? Genos ? SD9 ? Not the best sounds but the best styles ! thank you for your reply.

[@KeyboardSmith]

Jeśli chodzi o to zestawienie i moje ogólne wrażenia, to wg mnie korg wypada nieco lepiej. Szczególnie jeśli chodzi o selektywność brzmienia perkusji na nagłośnieniu. Perkusja Yamahy tej i innych brzmi "plastikowo" na nagłośnieniu. Miałem okazję przetestować wiele modeli, sam do dziś użytkuję korga pa1x. A przecież brzmienie perkusji, aranży jest bardzo ważne, szczególnie na imprezach. Jeśli chodzi o resztę brzmień to są bardzo porównywalne, kwestia gustu kto wygrywa. Dla mnie nr 1 i tak pozostanie Ketron audya :D Pozdrawiam

[@dongvasa]

Of course Korg,but it is important to know is there some eq gane or sound edit

[@saxonett]

Korg sounds like Elton John, Yamaha more like Steven wonder or the old hohner clavinet. My first electronic intrument was a VIP 233 Farfisa, so I only know the old sounds - but those I know quite well.

[@LeJohnLeBlogueur]

What art he plays on the first comparison? Qu'es qu'il joue sur la première comparaison ?

[@AnatolBagrin]

Tyros 5 The King For ever!!! Wins in All categories !!!!

[@libedeo]

very good ideia to make this presentation with korg and yamaha....both keyboards are fantastic but now we can make a choice....we know that who is playing, who is the pilot, is very important, right? The best way to solve this situation is buying them together.....thanks

[@antunkatona5674]

Which one has a better keybed?

[@jerryguitar1420]

Quality of the keyboard mechanics is also very important. Korg has this high quality weighted keys. I'm not sure if Tyros 5 is similar to this. Soundswise for me they are on same level. For the Korg you probably need to buy the Musikant extension to have the same number of styles as Tyros.

[@gelupisicaru2895]

tyros 5 , the best !

[@varoennauraa]

Both are amazing, but one of them is too popular for being reasonably priced.

[@tanphuoc9366]

yeah I agree with u

[@ace.ccanty7209]

To me the tyros definitely sounds clearer. ..almost too clear. Tyros sounds like its been dsp'd and eq'd to death. It sounds like a studio product. The korg on the other hand sounds like it's in a bar. It has a live sound to it. Its strange. It has a warm feel to it. Almost like when cd's first hit. People longed for that warmth of a good ole vinyl...both sound great.

[@DERKACHKORG13]

Korg pa3x -The best!!!!

[@dilanpires4109]

KORG PA3x ..... is a king !

[@azzeddinekaram1237]

Korg PA3x is the Best

[@caoborba51]

The Tyros line, came to revolutionize the market. Undoubtedly the samples Yamaha (tyros 5) outweigh reality. There's no way to compare. The battery (percussion) is very real and string instruments are very perfect, and puff. The Tyros has not been done to the child as our colleague said below, but for those who have sensitivity and knows how to take advantage of this. For those who play alone, it is fantastic. Tyros 5 looks a lot like the Tyros 4 but the price was the biggest problem because they are compatible with and directed similar styles. Do not discard the T4. Test first much well because the most important is to feel it is worth it.

[@WannaBeMuzkant]

much better sound of Korg pa3x !

[@SOPM2007]

Will be ever a keyboard available where you would tell, there's nothing that could be made still better - regarding the sound? ;-)
