Post by steve m »

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a PA2X is Australia, pre-owned in good condition is OK. If you are thinking of selling or know someone that is please let me know.

Hi Steve

Craig at Keyboard Corner in Boronia near Melbourne has newbies and can get demo models as Korg is just up the road.

Thanks Bob,

Their price is a bit higher than I am prepared to pay. There's a good music store up here that can do one for $4K, but that's too much for an arranger. I missed one go on Ebay a few months ago for 2.5K which is nearer my budget - hence a pre-owned one in good condition will do.

I bought a new Korg Oasys a couple of years ago for $7K and have found it's now only worth $4K, so never again will I buy new - the depreciation is just to hard to swallow.

I have been told by a reliable source at Yamaha HQ that any new Tyros or PSR range will be limited to 61 keys, no plans to have a 73/76 key option. For me that rules it out. Also I think the Tyros has great sounds and features, but better suited to an entertainer / home musician playing 'standards' than the Prog Rock stuff that I do.

I currently have a Roland G70 which works really well with my Korg Oasys, but I'm hoping that a PA2X will replace both. I currently use the Oasys for it's great synths/guitar sounds ( I rarely use it's Karma or Sequencer features ) and the G70 for it's arranger capability. I often convert Rock MIDI files into Styles ( mostly just bass and druns ) If I can replace these two keyboards with a PA2X it may be the solution I'm looking for.

The Roland G70 has good acoustic guitars but it's electrics are awful. That Gilmore / Rutherford lead sound isn't there no matter how much tweaking is done.

However, I want to try a PA2X first to see how it performs before I decide whether to sell the others.
