8GB RAM? Now we are talking! (if true)

Hope it doesn't take 3 min to boot...

With all these video leaks from youtube I'm starting hating KORG!!! I feel so dump waiting for KORG to make an announcement about why has it seemed inferior to the circumstances? Unfortunately, we have been imprisoned for so many years because of the quality, the convenience and the excellent instruments that she has but I see "smart" people getting rich on youtube to show us mocking PA5X icons and KORG let it happen!!! Why???

If these leaks are real it appears Korg are testing the market and getting ready for a release however I believe the latest leaks are still preproduction models prototipes sent to Korg employers around the world for internal testing, it's not clear how many are made. The latest photos and videos seems to be from the same model/leak even so I don't think it's very hard for Korg to know who has released this photos/videos with or without permission.

What is apparent from before blurred images and now made clear from the latest photo is that the style play START/Stop button is not working as before but instead they have replaced it with 2 START/Stop buttons from the players section which can fade styles from one another using the fader. So you can select 1 style on first player section and another on the second player and you could mix them together with the fader how this will work exactly with synch will wait and see for more leaks in the future.

The deal breaker for me for a pa4x replacement has to be the hardware power and the OS, if its the same 3 GB Ram with virtual memory it's not enough no matter how many fancy LED colour buttons they put on it. They must sort the sample slots limit and commit to OS updates in regular basis not only when bugs are found.

Personally I'm not parting with my Korg P4x even if a Pa5X is released this year.

So,till now......Bugs and pics make Korg unique

This is not new to Korg. In 2007 the same situation happened around the announcement of the Pa2X Pro... By accident it was visible on the official Korg page but a couple of hours later it had been delete from the site....

I'm not surprised this al happens. For some without any idea, for others nothing new... Korg marketing... Probing if it shall be popular amongst customers.

I sent the HD picture of the supposed new PA5X to Frank from AudioworksCT who spoke with Korg and they said the following:

"They did say they are developing it, they will not deny or confirm the picture, but they doubt highly about the timetable of release"

So, basically, no new information!

All this discussion about "buttons & bows" seems like water under the bridge, as we can't authenticate the legitimacy of the picture, which may not even be the final cut.
I suggest that we hold our horses until Korg makes an official announcement regarding the PA5X, as nothing that we discuss has any credence until that happens.
Just my 2 cents.

He is right. If you take a look at the picture, the start/stop button is actually our play/pause button for the mp3 on the 4x. But this one has a button to select style or song. This is very impressive. I also noticed on the main screen that there are two styles selected. Can’t wait to see what korg has rolled up their sleeves. It has been 7 years since the last totl arranger from korg. I’m hoping this will be thee one to put the PA series back on top on everyone’s list. Let’s wait and see the official specs.

[karmathanever]

The buttons are "PLAYER1 Style....Song" and "PLAYER2 Style....Song" which makes no sense in relation to STOP/STARTING a style compared to PA4X

The reason is probably due to lack of understanding what Korg intend but so far we do not have the ability to STOP/START 2 different STYLES.
Does this then mean we can have 2 STYLES loaded ready to play and fade-in/out like SONG PLAY?

That is Synchro Start/Stop, not the regular Start/Stop.
