Lots of Pa-4x Reviews on YT; very few in English, what's up?

Post by tkarlmann »

When I search YT, I find a lot of reviews on the 4x, but very few are in English. Exception: The Bonner reviews are well done! Does anyone know why? Now that the 4x is/was sold out in the US, I would think more reviews would be out. Is the 4x more popular in other countries than in the US? Thoughts?

Update: I've given up trying to find YT vids on the 4x -- now I'm watching vids on the 3x, 900, and 800. Most dialog is still in Arabic or Spanish, though. :(

Very simple reason, PA4Xs have been released much longer in Eastern Europe and Asia I think. Most folks in USA, UK are just now getting units from first shipments.

Plus AFAIK, that Asia, Middle East and the Balkans have been Korg's biggest market for some time.

Not just Korgs...

They have surpassed Western Europe as the major market for arranger keyboards. Asia, is huge...

Thanks guys. I am glad it is something like availability that is a causing the dearth of 4x English-speaking videos.
