This is indeed sad. The keys on korg pa600 are relatively hard to push. I had Korg pa50sd, and the feel of the keys mechanically was excellent. you moved your fingers very fluently on the keys. I upgraded my keyboard to pa600, and I feel the difference. I feel that the keys resist my fingers somehow, thus reduce my performance.I tried to change the velocity settings from hard to soft, but it does not help, because keys are mechanically hard to push I exchanged the keyboard with another new pa600, and the same issue.I have to struggle with the keys,. so they do not push my fingers back up, causing reduction in performance.Some how it feels that you are pressing on stone.Indeed a sad thing.
Every day when I play , I say to myself , any body who has designed pa600 has made flaws in design of such a marvelous keyboard. Software wise, and ease of using the keyboard for many functions, it is a great keyboard, but the designer of the keyboard,could have made the keys as soft and pleasant as pa50. Also sadly he has removed fill in 1, and fill in 2. he could just leave them, besides keeping auto fill in place.
Well we do not live in a perfect world, but unthoughtfulness of the designer of the keyboard pa600 is really a shame.

You must be joking, right?

The fills are still there, you just have to know how to access them.

I find the PA50 keys a bit too soft. Not enough tactile feedback. The PA600 keys are like most 'organ type' keyboards also a bit soft to the touch but eminently usable. That said, I'll be upgrading to a PA900 this summer for the obviuos reasons, but also to get the semi-weighted after-touch keybed.

I find your comments above un-thoughtful and a bit over the top.
