Have you ever wondered ... (PA500)

What the third Logo was on the PA500?

Page 25 of the manual under "LOGO Decoder" says ...

"On the front panel of your Pa500 you have probably noticed three logos, and may have even wondered what they stand for. Well, here is a quick explanation of each one."

The manual then goes on to describe the RX and MIDI logos.

So what was the 3rd logo and why did it go missing? Curious minds want to know.

I guess the "TouchView" logo (left to the touchscreen).
No explanation needed, I suppose.

Ah! That is a logo and their own too.

The third logo on the PA800 is "TC Helicon Vocal Technologies". Don't know if that applies to the PA500 but maybe not.
Might be the case that the reference to three logos for the PA500 is a cut and paste error from the PA800 manual... ???

That's very possible. The PA800 was released before the PA500???

Read my post above.
The third logo is the TouchView logo.

Yep. KORG just forgot to mention it in the manual.
