Korg Forums

Hi,
It's painfully obvious over the last year that this PA5X Forum has not been the most uplifting of Forums, rightfully so as the long awaited O/S upgrade is still not here. This is then followed by the issues with the LED's (Korg U.K. have finally been in touch with me to arrange collection to have mine changed).

Could things be about to change, here is a link to a video that was posted in the last day. Woody at Woody Piano Shack has just taken delivery of a boxed PA5X.

I do not know what videos he will make about the PA5X, but I can assure you that if they are anywhere near as detailed as the Korg Nautilus videos he has made we are all in for a treat. I think this is a great move by Korg as a Company that will benefit us owners and hopefully bring new potential owners on board.

I enjoy that guys enthusiasm. His looked like a kid at Christmas in his Nautilus vids. You could tell he was very impressed with the Pa5x build quality and fit & finish. A huge difference from the all plastic genos 2 he showcased. And he also loves the tilted screen. Oh and the keybed, it just feels so good. It's 8am here, and I've been sitting at the pa5x & Nautilus since 1am, and it honestly feels like only 30 minutes have passed. Time truly flies when you're having fun.

Hi,
I don't think Woody is the very best arranger player out there, but I think his playing is more representative of the majority of buyers of arranger keyboards. I can relate to him more than the Manufacturer's demo players (Pete Shaw, Martin Harris, Peter Baartmens, despite the fact that they are brilliant players).

As the other posters have said, he has so much enthusiasm (watch his facial expressions when he's playing) and more importantly he seems to be able to 'get to grips' with keyboards quite quickly.
To loan him a PA5X is a very smart move by Korg and the Dealer who has lent it to him.

I follow Woody on discord, along with several of fellow twitch music streamers.

I totally love his reviews on keyboards, and while I have my own experience with the PA5X (some good, some not so good), his videos on the PA5X keep me relatively sane (for the time being)

Hi,

As well as watching Woody's PA5X Youtube video, I think it's worth taking a couple of minutes to read the comments section.

I watched the unboxing of the Pa5x by Woody .

He was obviously very excited and his joy is infectious . I think he is going to have a lot of fun with it so long as he doesn’t go too deep in editing styles etc.

I am genuinely looking forward to seeing his other follow up videos .

When he was playing at the end , he seemed extremely happy with the styles and overall sound of the board .

Great start .
