Under $4k?? The 61 is still 4,699 and has yet to go for less.
So if I'm understanding correctly, you sold it almost 2 yrs ago, are still bitter and felt the need to post about a product you haven't had for almost 2 years? And when the poll results dont go the way youd like, you lash out? It might be time to move on....

Right! As a new Pa5X user and new to the Korg world it already became very tiring to see how many negative messages there are but if you pay close attention they are only a few grumbling and most are willing to help you and positive. If you're just here to nag, please go somewhere else. Take your life buy a keyboard from another brand and then leave everyone here alone.

I am not sure this is for you to give instructions telling people to go somewhere else or tell people what they should do with their life, I believe this falls to Moderators who police this forum and I am sure they will consider any complaints...
I also believe this would be the place to have a full range of discussion and options, which could include negative comments, positive comments and anything in between...
A full range of discussion is important for all, even if we find the discussion may not be compatible with our own thoughts and opinion, and this should all be done according to the forum rules

If I went to a Yamaha forum 2 yrs after the fact, and ripped on Genos, with the only intention of saying how terrible it is, id get the same responses and a warning. And you're telling me I should tread lightly? He can go to a general arranger forum and start drama there. And I've been here for 18 yrs so don't think I'm new here.

Well, we are not on the Yamaha forum, which from your description sounds like a private members club, so on that note...thank goodness we are here in the land of Korg where free speech is respected...
Enjoy the rest of your day, and I do mean this sincerely

In response to F Minors comments that this thread is a cheap way to express dissatisfaction with the PA5X. The poll currently stands at 18 owners, one who decided to return for a full refund whereas 17 owners either love their PA5X or think it could be better and are waiting for the next O/S. I think that pretty much blows those comments out of the water !!

That was exactly my point Chris.

Just want to know where the Korg customer stands with the pa5x. I know where I stand almost 2 years after the release. |
Love the Pa5x

all in all, i'm happy with the pa5x. since the last os update, many bugs have been fixed. yes - it took far too long until the device was finally available. 9 months delivery time is clearly too long. and the time for bug fixing takes too long.
i find the 88-key keyboard a bit too heavy (nord stage 4 has a perfect keyboard for me) but that's up to each individual.
the only point is the led buttons which look strange. and the arrangement of the buttons without any grouping makes it difficult to work quickly.
but i like that all the important buttons are close to the keybed to reach them while playing. i love the flat file system, and the sounds i like much more than the ones of yamaha.
looking forward to new features soon ....

Hi, more than happy with mine. Have my dream “home setup”.
With the help of an iPad, an iPhone , Baum songbook on each, and a pedal, I can virtually play my sx900 hands free via my PA5x.
Still hope they add in some of the missing functions the prior models had, but, have no regrets.

I’ve had the KORG PA5X for two months now with no complaints, previously Yamaha Genos for six years, Korg is a fascinating instrument. I have no regrets whatsoever investing in this.
I still have the Genos for best of both worlds. But the KORG has superior piano and strings. Semi weighted keys feels much better than Genos. Love the solid build, not plastic. I’m still mastering this beast and thanks to valuable input from forum members, this is one keyboard I will be holding onto.
