Giving the PA5 until the next update....

[Asena]

In the end, I wait until end of the year,
After that time, maybe KORG thinks I lost my money, but wait,
I can always put gasoline on it, and fire it up on live stream,
If I have 1 m views that’s enough to get some
Of my loose back
I love the idea already.
I’m kind and calm, but not that kind.
I did work hard for it, no one can take it from my pocket

[Asena]

left the sinking ship

Did you feel better when you wrote so many time the same text Just wondering if everything is OK over there?

[Biggles]

And if it does not fix the bugs (and faults/bugs labeled as "just the way the new OS is"), add a proper Chord Sequence editing facility, fix the lower auto turn off when starting a chord sequence and a few other "live"playing tweaks (as outlined in other threads) , then it is going. Might move right way from arrangers again and back to the world of workstations, mebbe the new Yammie Montage with Poly AT....

I am waiting for new genos.

15th November is the expected unveiling.

Bet Korg are ……… themselves (insert your own expletive)

[Asena]

Well YES Yamaha will take over this time i think, becouse i think they have seen averything about all issues problems and readed the forums, So i think They have everything to take advantage on this.
And in the end, yamaha has more financial, and more in their hands. Great Programmers, that listens to people, and creates things after what the end users need.
So maybe , Just maybe We can expect something great from KORG to stand up against YAMAHA.
Just look in Messes, KORG booth, its a smal corner, YAMAHA has a building just for them self.

I hope this will be over soon, and i hope the OS will make everybody happy, including the KORG team.

Please folks do not misunderstand....I am happy with the sound and many MANY of the features, it's just for me, and playing left hand bass (not via manual bass) and live gigs, the PA5 has a few shortcomings.

Which is why I am awaiting the update to see if any are addressed.

Overall it is a great keyboard (granted I do NOTHING with sampling or that other stuff, I mainly just "tweak whats there)

Agreed, fundamentally we have a very good sounding keyboard, BUT... when you add up all the individual points of view regarding issues and problems, this then becomes far to many for the price that has been paid...

Then, when you consider the passage of time from the release of this product (PA5X), it is not unreasonable to understand that we are now rapidly approaching a time when this is becoming intolerable for New and well Seasoned returning customers...

The next update ((((MUST)))) count, for both sides of this most unfortunate process that we find ourselves in, it is clearly in Korg interest to redeem themselves from the bad press they have received to date...

I do however, feel sorry for all the hard-working people, inbetween the customers and the senior management that allowed this to happen, but nevertheless, it is Korg reputation that has and is still suffering, and when i say say suffering, i also include all the committed customers who have invested many years in time and money with Korg products...

NOW OVER TO YOU KORG... THE CLOCK IS TICKING.

D575 to be honest this is meant as a joke. So, no source. But..... it wouldn't surprise me at all... Don't forget it took about 2 years between OS 2.0 and OS 3.0 for Pa4X...

and funnily enough, if I DO sell it on, I'll probs replace it with the Yamaha Montage M8x

The Utube input videos demonstrate a very intriguing instrument with some great sounds. Although it is not an arranger it can create interesting start-off points for song creation. And that is a critical element for idea development. Have to admit I am interested in the Montage M as well, but as an addition not a replacement of the Pa5x.

When is the next 5x OS update scheduled to be released?

[usaraiya]

There is no scheduled release date yet, so it's anybody's guess!
