Horrible... I do not know what is reason but Korg definetely needs to do something about delivery...
I'm in no hurry, so no big deal for me. Though, the GC rep told me couple of times, that I should be getting it in 5 to 8 days. I know he was just bullshitting me from what I'd read here previously. I'm not expecting anything till October. I got the Kronos in less than 10 days.

We just have to acknowledge that we are a TINY segment of the keyboard buying public these days. WS's outsell arrangers probably 100 to 1, and because of this, get the manufacturer's priority for assembly, marketing and stocking.

Wish it wasn't so, but you can't argue with the figures!

Personally, the day that a major combines the arps from a WS with the styles from an arranger, and voices and style's it so that it appeals to the same demographic buying Kronos's and MotifXS's etc., then we MIGHT see the arranger come back into its own. But while they gradually slip further and further into irrelevancy for the younger player, and turn more and more into schlager and oldies machines, I fear we will never see that day.

Sad....

It does look like a christmas present actually! . At least, it makes no difference if i've made it to santa's nice or naughty list. Still it will show up by christmas, I think.

Today,I received a backorder notification from GC for the second time since i placed the order:

"Thank you again for your order #........ We have yet to receive the out of stock item(s) noted below, but we have more on order with the manufacturer. We will ship them to you as soon as we receive them"

*UPDATE*
Last wed, I received an email from AMS stating that the keyboard I was interested in was in stock and ready to ship. So, I called at 10 am and confirmed that it was in stock and I ordered it and so did a friend of mine. I received it on friday and took it on the stage sat and sunday night for gigs. It went so smooth. I was really impressed with all the new features and ease of use. There were no problems to report regarding using my 2X set in the 3X61. I would like to thank KORG for this great machine and new design. You guys will love it when you get it.

p.s. I still know alot of people who have ordered it and payed already and have not received it yet. so I guess im LUCKY.

I own a korg Pa1x pro elite, a Korg triton extreme and now I'm desperately waiting for my Korg Pa3x 76. I ordered in august and still don't have any light when my keyboard will come...people at Guitar Center says it's coming october's first week. Well, I have to wait, I guess, haha!!

I pre ordered mine on 08/15. I just received a call from Guitar Center today and they told me Korg will be shipping on October 10th, I'll be playing mine around the 15th, so I guess you'll be having yours around the same time, that's next week!!!
