Tight Brass sound vs Pa1xPro

Post by allrics »

I've had a Pa1xPro for several years. I now own a Pa2xPro. To my ears the Tight Brass on the Pa1 sounds more realistic than on the Pa2. In fact, all the Brass sounds sounded better on the Pa1.
Has anyone else experienced this or are they the exactly same? Thank you.

You didn't mention if you were auditioning the two keyboards using their built in speaker system or an external sound system. If using the built in speakers I could see them sounding different.

My 76 key versions do not have built in speakers. I was just comparing using a set of Sony Headphones. The Brass just sounds different to me. Could it be something in the effects that are different? Any help would be much appreciated.

I vaguely remember that I preferred my PA1XPro "out-of-the-box" to the PA2Xpro in terms of audio but I just found that EQ fixed this.
The PA1Xpro was a bit "warmer" sound-wise - I liked that!!

The PA2X uses new stereo brass samples. I prefer them than the PA1X brass samples.

When you say "Brass Samples" do you mean Tight Brass 1, 2, etc?
