The PA4X screen looks very good, but I'm a bit worried how solid it is.
In particular the tilting mechanism seems a bit vulnerable to me.
Any experiences? _________________ Musical grtz, Frans

It operates and seems ok.. but it is a mechanical ratchet type hinge rather than friction, so if something heavy leans on it then its gonna be toast.
SO, i am sure that with the care you would give a $4k instrument, eg just like NOT leaning a Les Paul against a wall, then it will be fine..
ii.however, the good news is that if that is a concern, the visibility while flat is decent. _________________ Korg PA4X, Nord Stage 3, Virus Ti Polar, Novation Nova II, Yamaha S70XS, MPC-X, TC Helicon Voicelive Rack, KRK VXT8 monitors, 2012 LP Standard, 1999 Am. hardtail Strat, Fender DRRI, Orange AD30HTC, Marshall Vintage Modern, 2 cans and a piece of string... |

Thanks for your replies.
I missed that thread, Johnnie, thanks for pointing me in that direction.
I finally had the chance to play a PA4X yesterday and it sounds amazingly good!.
But the screen mechanism... I can't understand why it is made so tiny/vulnerable for a keyboard in this price class.
The screen of the instrument I played didn't close... _________________ Musical grtz, Frans

They should have used a time tested laptop mechanism. Why reinvent the wheel? _________________ Pa4x, Oasys 76, K2000, PC3K7, Montage 8, Pa5x |
