PA3X - 61 vs 76 semi-weighted

Post by karmathanever »

Hi all

Don't know how much longer I can hold out too.... sadly I can't get my hands on one yet :(

Just have a question (sorry if it has already been discussed but I couldn't find anything)

The specs state that both the 61 and 76 note models have "semi-weighted" keys - is this true?

If so, I may go for the 61 note this time as I believe there are no other differences except RAM and HDD.

Cheers

Pete :D

Hi.
What can I say ???
Pa3x-61 (which I have ) is the same with Pa3x-76 !!!!
It just has not a motorized tilting display and HD .... but it has 4gb for save your files ... For me it is enough .., It is very compact keyboard !!!
you can see different of size here :)

Yeah I tried the 61 at Allans Music melbourne last week, it feels weighted, but not too hard like a piano (which I hate). I think I could get use to it...
And yeah, differences with 61 vs 76:
- HD
- Motirised screen

Why did you write 'Intro', 'Fill', and 'End' under the buttons on the Pa2X :D

Hi Pete,
the keys have a nice feel.
Sure is a solid little beast.
I luv it .
The option of automatic fills are great, but it still also has 4 dedicated fill plus break buttons.
I luv the fact it has XG drum sets. Going to make my Yammie conversions, so much easier.

More like pa2x keys, but I think they are a bit different (better?).

I own a pa800. Last week I played the pa3x (61) for 2-3 minutes. The keys are great!

The extra octave make s a huge difference. the more I use my PA3X the more I like it, but I still think that it should have a 'buffer' section at the right hand end. It looks very strange having the last key and then -- nothing, like there's a huge chunk missing.

Now that you mentioned it, it does look a little awkward, but looks like the 61 key is the same too. Pa800 has a USB on that side, maybe they could've put something there, like a fingerprint reader which could unlock the keyboard when it's on standby once you swipe, similar to laptops :D
