Hi there fellow "Korgies"!

I was just curious, how many out there are buying custom made samples and styles for their PA3x??

Since these ressources are often very expensive, I was also wondering if anyone has some good experiences with buying this, if so - what do you recommend?

I found this web-site offering samples & styles in a set for the PA3x (http://korgstyles.com/) - Can anyone give me a review of this product??

I have, myself, had good experiences with styles brought from D-O-O.de (Direct on order).

Happy playing out there.. Wink

LISTEN GUYS, Seriusly, NO One Ever Maded anything that specific and Professional, until now, NOT for PA80, Not for 1 X, 2 X and NOT for 3 X,

There is some great people that gives time and makes Some things, BUT, please like you say, 512 MB Compressed samples, IS not in pro level at all,

Even the onboard sounds are not so god, Couse many is from I 30,s time, Just listen to some sounds, They are perfect, like PIANOS, ELPIANOS, and so, But the other articific sounds on KORG is, Still TOY!

I,m using lots of VST s on stage, ONLY MAC and MAINSTAGE is one example, And belive me, IT SOUND BETTER and you heave total control LIVE !

WE need news , like i always say, To days music is far beyond the 3 X.

Hello

after the Musikmesse Frankfurt in April 2013 all PA-Keys with Sample-Option will get new resources from a german company named musitronics.
They changed all factory-samples.
The new resources are for PA2/3/800 and 600.

I will write a notice when I checked out the new resources and upload some demo-videos to youtube.

Under my videos I will write the contact to the developer.

Antony, nice to see you active here. Smile

I wrote you an email some time ago, regarding buying some of your products. Unfortunately I don't like the idea of being limited to one developer, as I like my kreative freedom to be intact. So I was wondering, isn't it possible to buy only the instruments that I think my style of music could benefit from??
- I agree, that (sometimes) you get what you paid for. Giving the fact that I paid the same for a PA3x, as a Kronos costs - I would expect Korg to develop some professional sampled resources, but that's a whole other story. Wink

I really liked the products I've heard from your link, but when I'm not playing greek music, I think you would benifit from also selling your more western samples. The prices seem overly heavy, if I'm only gonna use less than half of the instruments. Otherwise NICE WORK!!

Deanspy, thats exactly why I posted that topic. Cause it seems to be alot of focus on styles, but no style will sound better than a midi-file If your instrument only uses GM-instruments. So instead of focusing on the styles, why not make the styles sound awesome with some nice (realistic) instruments? So I also was trying to hear which kind of resources other korgies where using, but seems like that intention didn't came out public (thanks for noticing) Laughing

Michagi, I heard musicians saying turn that stupid piano down in a style, when infact the style-track playing was an accoustic guitar. So for soloing, some of the instruments seems okay - but if you want to sound like a live band (which in my terminology is the meaning) with an arranger, you need sampled instruments. Just my personal humble oppinion. The sampler is a substancial reason that I chose the Pa3x as my arranger keyboard. So YES, I think a SMALL part of the factory sounds in the PA3x sounds like realistic/(professional) instruments. However, I've heard worse arrangers! Razz

It would be nice if some of the better sounds were sold as single sounds instead of giant collections. Some creators have no understanding of customer service, or just don't care.

I can understand your request , but in my case I'm not a store , just a standalone developer that offer my resources
for anyone that is interested as let's say a handmade artwork and the most significant reason is that seems completely
insane to use system lock protection for a couple of sounds since no resources goes out from my lab unprotected !

As concerned to compact resources , IMHO when developing or improving keyboard resources then priority goes to
whole group of vintage instruments like pianos , drums , guitars , basses ,violins , brasses , woodwinds and generally
all sounds that keyboard fails to emulate , since a brilliant Musician & developer is always a step beyond user and
always knows in advance what will be user's needs !
