Hi there , hope you are all doing well.
After having the pa5 x for
More
Than half year now, we got at least the Os 1.1,
So what do we miss is not even there,
When I bought it, Korg, and the store promised to us that, with the update it will
Be there and we will have all what we have been promised for , or need!
For
Me
, it’s important that the keyboard is trustworthy and not having freeze on the gigs,
But I’m
Also independent on midi to
Style, slice loop creating, 100% of deep sound editing, etc.
There is to many things that we miss.
And I have read that all this will be on the update 2023 end.
If so, this is really bad for many of us, simply because of the fact that we are dependent of the functionality of the kb.
So what’s in Korg’s mind?
Did we payed lots of money, for waiting on
A working os, ?
We are far away from a ready product. We all know that , but waiting another year for The kb to be ready as they told us, efore we even buy it
That’s just not Ok.

There is so
Many great this I
Miss from
My PA4X on the 5X,
Slice loop creating, Kaospad, and much more.
Why remove all,?
The kb can’t even load sounds and style
Without problems.
Sad situation

Korg are using the money they defrauded from you 6 months ago to attempt to complete the half finished product you bought and every other customer that bought this product .

The problem is that this is bad economics for korg and very very bad business generally for its current and future customers .

So when the money they defrauded from you runs out , and it will , what income are they going to use to actually fully complete and quality check the finished product if or when that is ever completed ?

I guarantee you that if korg would let you see their sales charts for the pa5x it will show a steep cliff type decline . That decline is their loss of income .

None of this bodes well for the development of the pa5x in 2023 as promised .

Let’s face it , Korg broke the most basic promise to its customers already . Why would anyone have confidence in them keeping any promises into 2023 ?

I would really love to move forward to the next Korg arranger but logic and risk assessment prevents me - let alone fear of losing (or indeed, wasting) money.

Now this is MY situation as it seems several are quite satisfied with the new arranger.
I've owned the i3,PA1xpro,PA2xpro,PA3x and currently PA4x. I have never experienced the doubt and concern that I have for this new model.

I have to sell my PA4x and pay an additional $4,000 cash in order to own the PA5x.
In the state it is in right now, I simply could not use it. I am seriously considering a second PA4x.

If Yamaha (and who knows, even Roland, Casio???) are sitting back watching this unfold, they may grab an opportunity to hit the market.
Right now IMHO, Korg monopolises the arranger world with its PA4x, 700,1000 being so well and professionally designed.

If Korg has any sense, it will communicate with its customers and not just answer vague FAQs disclaiming every answer with "....subject to change without notice....".
I am not buying until it is a fully completed keyboard - who knows when that might be.
This has forced me to consider alternative forward moves with regard to future gear.

Sorry Korg, I HAVE been super supportive and loyal due to your outstanding products but something has seriously gone wrong on the inside and I know this is NOT within the Italy team!!

I remain disappointed.

There are different customers. I bought the Pa5X in early December. I knew the condition it was in and decided it was worth it. If I had a Pa4X, I'd probably change my mind, but I have a Pa600. For me, this is a step forward. Tomorrow it will be premiered at a public performance. Pa5X has yet to let me down while playing with the new OS. It only restarted once when I was saving an audio edit.

Asena, you are absolutey 100% right! If I payed 4500 euro on something I can't use I think I could participate to a crowdfunding in order to design a new arranger, because it seems we know what we want and we don't get it from anywhere.

We need to stop arguing with each other .

Let’s get it straight. Korg is responsible for this mess . Those that either knowingly or unknowingly got scammed by korg but remain content to be scammed don’t have a reason to be upset . You have deep pockets and what you do with your money is your business and your business alone .

But if you understand and are upset that you have been scammed ( and you have every right to be ) , then organise yourselves and go after the company that scammed you .

This product is not fit for purpose . Therefore you all have consumer rights in the countries you are from . Exercise those rights or accept you’ve been scammed and move on .
