Re: PA600 unboxed at last!

Mike - Pleased you have the 600 at last. I have not seen one as yet - however something worth a try ---- When changing STS Hold a note with the RH and a chord with the LH then switch STS and listen to the voices. Do the original RH voices stay until the notes are released. Try it again this time sw...

Re: PA600 unboxed at last!

Hi Mike, Reading your post leaves me thinking you are disappointed with the PA600 in lots of respects,a lot of people seem to take badly with the Korg first off,it is quite different,say to Yamaha,which is the most simplest of keyboards to manage,once you get the hang of the PA600 you will find it ...

PA600 unboxed at last!

Well, I have had chance to un-box and play about with my new 600 today ... whilst a lot of things on it blow me away, there is also an awful lot that my first impressions of aren't that clever at all :( Naturally, I am going to need time to get the hang of the Korg way to do things compared to the m...

Re: Keyboard Voices

Hiya Colin, Hi Mike - Thanks for all the 'gen' on sound modules. They are obviously wonderful devices. But, my music isn't taken seriously enough to warrant purchases in the price range you mentioned. However, I did have a look in e-bay, and came across a 'Roland JV-1080'. For a measly £60 odd. But,...

Re: Keyboard Voices

Hiya Collin, I don't know exactly how old the KN7000 is but it's got to be close to 14 years old if not more, I still like a lot of the voicing on the 7000 and in many respects the sounds hold their own against the more up to-date instruments. Where the latest keyboards score is the way in which you...

I stick by what I said. You cannot play a MIDI file created on the 950 and expect it to play back properly.
