the Pa 500 is out

Not sure if my info is backdated, but ya.

I know cause I own one

Its basically the same as the Pa 800, just no colour screen(stil touchscreen), and smaller speakers. There is also no TC helicon, and it is made in china

But the upside? it costs SGD 1500

Pawnerz,

Could you give us a mini review of the PA500? And a picture as well? There is nothing about the PA500 in Korg's website http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/en/news/news.html?en. The price seems reasonable. Thanks in advance.

I think it is still not confermed or officially released by Korg, then how did you manage to get the PA500? Are you telling the truth? please inform us.

Ajith, pawnerz is telling the truth, because I just called the local Korg dealer today, and he said the PA-500's in. I can't wait to go and try it out!

It's selling for about RM4,500 Malaysian Ringgit.

After looking at Piotrek's UK link of the PA500 (thanks, Piotrek!), I was somewhat disappointed to note that there is no USB to Device slot for thumb drives. There is a SD/MMC card slot, but I'd prefer to store my songs on a thumb drive and then just simply plug it into the keyboard. Bummer

In contrast the Yamaha PSR S-700 does provide a USB to Device slot, so it would be very easy to transfer and playback songs from a thumb drive. Both keyboards are selling for about the same price here.
