I'm going to have a go at making my own new sound this week end...

Thanks,
Lee

As far as I know, the Pa2X has the same Sampler as the Pa1X. Just more memory.

So the list wouldn't be much different.

Hi fellows,

just a little remark regarding 01/W:
It was a wonderful inspiring workstn. with a wonderful sequencer.
The only one big lack was the piano. Many other sounds
can compete with todays arranger sounds if they aren't better.
And all this has been created about 18 years ago.

Enjoy

Would you be willing to share your experiences of both your Pa2x and M3 for use in live performances requiring a one man band? Assume you had to choose between them. What would be the main factors good and bad for each one?

I have a Pa2x as you know, and I just ordered an M3.

Best regards,
Rob

Hi Ron,

In my case if I had to choose only one of them it would be the m3 as I find it sonically more interesting and karma more exciting than the style system.

But ... I don't play for an audience, I mean I don't play (or have to) play specific songs which, depending of the type of music, is probably easier on an arranger.

What I find that is missing on the m3 in a live situation is mainly that you don't have fills or breaks (well, you could create them, but..) and it's not easy to switch voices (again you could program them, then mute/un-mute parts when needed, but it's still not as convenient as the STS or the performances).
Also it's not possible to switch combi in real-time like switching style on the PA. Karma and any other playing sound will stop, and depending of the combi it may take 2-3 seconds until you can play again.
Also it's not possible to transpose in real-time, though sometimes one of the switches is programmed to do so.
The beat indicator is also missing, that's why I always start the style on the PA even if I'm not using it

Now I wouldn't mind a little bit of karma into the pa as the styles are a little too repetitive for my taste, and also lacking punch and life compared to the m3. There are a few sounds like the piano that I prefer on the pa2x, but I find the m3 sounds more interesting. You get also more effects and much better routing on the m3.

Anyway, to summarize I would say that the M3 is more an instrument where karma can interact with what you are really playing, not only based on the current chord.
The PAs are better suited to replace a "real" band, but then again it depends of your style of music and playing.
The pa2x is also better to work as a master keyboard as you have all the buttons needed at your finger tip (splitting, transposition,..). I prefer also the keybed of the pa2x, a little heavier than the m3 (73).

Off course it’s nice to have both

You also ordereed an M3

you lucky b....rd. Best of both worlds....
I'm sort of waiting to try the M50 (a cheaper M3) and ad that one to my live set up in the band, and play just the Pa2xPro in my trio....

Someone told me that M3 is made by china. Is that true ?
Is there a huge difference if it's made in china ?
Thanks

only the air that you breathe is not made in china, but every thing else is, starting from the chair that you're sitting on right now! Even if it says , "made in Jupiter"..some components of it must've come from China.

The work is done. I finished making the sound probably 2 weeks ago. I just got sidetracked and totally forgot about it.
When I get the chance I will upload it. It's the weekend, plus I'm on holidays right now. I'll have it on-line in a day or two tops.

Regards.
Sharp.
