The full professional option is to not use arrangers at all. As most professionals don’t! The next professional option is to split all output sounds out separately, then EQ and effect them in the DAW.

Unless you are talking live playing, in which case, IMHO 28 freely assignable insert effects allows you to mix ‘in the box’ to a far higher degree than Korg currently can.

The vast majority of professional arranger users are playing live. Being able to mitigate Korg’s woeful lack of effects in a DAW isn’t an option on stage.

Bottom line, if you can’t sound ‘professional’ with a Genos, it ain’t the fault of the arranger or it’s EQ structure. I’ve heard plenty of impressive stuff played on the Genos. Maybe it’s because you are fixated on minutiae?

Some golfers can only play well with one brand of ball or club. But that doesn’t mean everybody must use that ball or club to be good. And some golfers manage to play great no matter the ball or club. I wonder which ones are considered the true ‘professionals’?!

I have seen and heard Arrangers being played live many times and not once did I even think ..... the Eq is off.

Totally the opposite a great player can make anything sound great whilst others just moan about lacking features.

If someone does not like their Korg PA they should sell it and buy a keyboard like a Yamaha PSR E463.

Hi all

Anyone finding this site for the first time will think that it is not for them. They will read 8 pages, yes 8, of utter boredom and rubbish and move on to a more friendly helpful site. Why 8 pages to answer a simple question ? 2 pages of any post should be enough. After that ? Well boring.

Please think for a moment about the time that you have all spent on this crap. 8 pages of it. Imagine devoting that time to a “WORKSHOP AREA” and passing on your knowledge to others. The Manual is a maze, a disaster. A “WORKSHOP AREA” is what we need here on this site

Then anyone looking at this site for the first time will think yes, I like this. 8 pages of utter crap ? NO

It would only take a couple of you clever guys to get a “WORKSHOP AREA” up and running to answer BASIC questions which would help simplify the awful manual. Just a few bite sizes at a time We will all love you for it.

Human behaviour room 101 unfortunately always gets in the way, so I also agree with the notion of Constructive Criticism... "Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one"... let's remember we all have two Good thing's in common which is are interest in Music and of course the "PA4x"....who ever you may be...

If you can get a great mix in every DAW and on every keyboard that has the necessary features for mixing and editing but cant get a professional mix on the ones that don't have the proper editing features and mixing tools then it's definitely the fault of the machine and it's designers. That's why i stand by whatever brand (currently Korg, Ketron, and Roland that) has the necessary features and the ones that save you time as well over the brand (currently Yamaha) that could care less about the users' professional standards

With apologies to Bachus (OP), this topic has gone way off the rails several times.
The problem is that if you sift through it there is some very useful information even though off-topic but this type of information then becomes effectively "hidden".
When sub-discussions start they should ideally be placed into a new topic with a relevant title.

This topic was locked for a short time in the hope that the ego-ranting would die down - seems not.

Topic permanently locked.
