There will be 4 chairs!
And a coffee table.

It's like waiting for a new pope.
Except the Vatican releases new popes more often than korg new products.

Given the small number of chairs along with the very small coffee table, and, accompanied by a tiny small booth….I’d say Korg is close to being bought out by Yamaha (again).

Vas.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that: trade shows are (sadly) a bit of a dying breed on the whole. Lots of large, successful companies are pulling out of various shows across industries.

How times have changed. Seems CES is still going strong, while other events are fading away.

I'd love to hear they are dropping the price on the Pa5x, which would get me to buy one, even in the sorry state it's currently in.

Lookslike people were wrong

Actually quite a lot of new things!

Grandstage X, microKORG 2, KingKORG NEO and a new Piano called Poetry. Maybe something else to come??

That KingKorg Neo is definitely on my watch list. I was not expecting anything from them, and all this news drops?

I have to say tho, that it's overpriced at $999.99. No actual new tech inside it, no tube like the original...just repacked in a new case. It's true the original I think was $1699.99 but u also got 61 keys with that and some other stuff.

It's already up at Guitar Center, and Sweetwater:

Hard pass at that price. 500 I could see. I'll wait a while and pick up 1 used down the road. Korg needs to rethink some of these prices :roll:

A new PAAS2 speaker bar for arrangers. Haven't seen it yet, wonder how it differs from the original.
