Interesting video from A&C Hamilton in UK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12JZKRO_FYA&t=722s

A comment from the cameraman was that it sounds as though the Pa4x was wrapped in a blanket.

No doubt the sounds are in the Pa4x you just have to know how to get them out.

I can't tell you all of the technical details with the sound upgrades, but I can safely say the sounds are greatly improved over the 4x. I've always felt the Kronos sound was far superior to the 4x. Now (Pa5X) they seem to be equals.

I would like to know the keyboard internal EQ settings and FX settings relating to this comparison. The guy is obviously wanting to sell the PA5x and I'm sure (well, hope) he's been fair in using identical audio setting for this video.

I was actually quite interested initially in this video and played it again selecting the same sounds on my PA4x (right next to me) - different result.

Anyhow it's an arranger so what about a good "STYLES" comparison video?

Having owned and played both together for a long time, I really do not feel the same way - in several cases I thought the PA4x was superior to Kronos.
But it is always subjective and personal..... can't wait to actually try the PA5x though....

I am trying so hard to justify buying this PA5x but simply cannot right now.

Very Happy
