Great Stuff John .... I see it appears to have wooden side panels ... I wonder if it has more features of the Pa3x that are not on the 900 ... interesting stuff, thanks for posting this picture mate. For guests who don't have permission to download attachments the picture .... The Korg Pa3x LE http:...

This will blow you away .... an old video clip (1987) of Majdi Al Husseini all over his Viscount Intercontinental organ like an 'octopus' :lol: Enjoy ... nArovpFJFW8 Doubt it's real? Then take a look at Majdi Al Husseini, the super star the legend, performing more recently on a Korg keyboard at the ...

A few days ago I got wind of a new Korg .... it's apparently a 76 key, speaker-less version of the Pa900 - I have spent the last 48 hours chasing around trying to get some pictures but it's almost like they know I'm coming :lol: :lol: Every link that my "informant" ( :wink: ) has sent take...

Thanks Eileen

Hello Bill,

Thanks for the nod on the latest T5 update ...

Wotcha maties, Yes ... she's no slouch on the drums despite her age ... after watching the video several times I actually 'youtubed' the original song by Kelly Clarkson and in comparison I personally think that she completely and utterly wipes the floor with the original drummer's take on it ... See...

Wotcha Ray,

That's my mistake - it is a CVP-609 Must have had my silly head on that day

I have amended it now.

All the best,

Only 'birds' and 'burglars' are up at this time of the morning ..... ... and insomniacs. Oh yeah ...

Wotcha folks, Things are starting to get back to normal here thankfully ... so you can expect to see more of me from here on in :wink: I have a lot of catching-up to do but I will get around to listening to all your performance over the next few weeks ... I also have a fair few 'draft' topics that I...

:( :( Well the good days didn't last very long I'm afraid .. back in the dark again ... I have got an appointment for the 'sleep-unit' at East Grinstead hospital next week to see if this tiredness is my OSA getting worse ... I'm sorta hoping that my CPAP machine is loosing it's effectiveness ... hop...

Wotcha folks, Got up this morning with a spring in my step ... which certainly beats waking up under a black cloud as I have been doing recently :) Thank you all for your kind words of support and well wishes ... I'm going to try and catch-up on a few posts today - you have all been busy making musi...

Here is an interesting little video on how the Yamaha PSR-S900 was made ... from pro-file plastic extrusion to a finished PSR-S900 ... I guess it's Yamaha's factory in Indonesia as the two little animated characters that appear from time to time are from an Indonesian childrens TV series .... TFV5xb...

It looks like it was an old Hammond J or a VS something or other ... Keep an eye on the pick-axe ... as two of the idiots nearly lost their 'nuts'

Hi Brian, Well as you know from the beginning of last week I became a Korg PA1X user ... it is only my second Korg, the first being the Pa600 which I sold around autumn of last year. I don't think they are the easiest of instruments to get to grips with ... but they certainly sound the business when...

Hi All, My Korg PA900 was delivered yesterday evening. I am trying to get over not using my foot and having just one board. I am challenging myself to post a tune in the challenge section over the long weekend. Keith This lot might be helpful to you Keith .... http://tierce-de-picardie.co.uk/viewto...

Wotcha folks, I'm sure that Fred will not mind me letting you know that he and his good lady wife Barbara were involved in a road traffic accident last week and, whilst there were no serious injuries, they are both badly shaken-up by the experience. Please join me in wishing them both well ... Fred ...

Thank you Brian ... Happy Easter to you also



May I also take this opportunity of wishing all Organ & Keyboard Members a very Happy Musical Easter

I got wind of a project by a Midlands retailer of the development of two new keyboard stands designed specifically for the PA series keyboards ... the same retailer, presumably with assistance from Korg UK, is about to launch a 'Korg' version of the TRX system called the Korg PA3 UltimaX 8) :D This ...

I live in Shiney Row just a few miles from Chester le Street and have never heard of this club. I am a member of the North East Organ Society which meets in Birtley where we have some excellent concerts but a dwindling audience. I would be interested to hear more of this society. Does it have a web...

I'll be producing some 'Old School' sounds and registrations for sale if there's enough of a market for them. Let me know if you'd like them and I'll get really cracking.

Hammond X66 for Tyros The 'Hammond Sound' .... What is it? Many would argue that it's the sound of the B3 played in a style similar to Jimmy Smith, Joey DeFrancesco or Tony Monaco ... but not me ... I would liken that to an artist with a paint palette containing every conceivable colour shade but o...

Some of the older keyboard arrangers still have remarkably good sounds even compared to the sounds of the latest models ... the real beauty about them is they don't cost an arm & a leg to buy them - several hundred quid can invariably buy you a good one with extras like stand etc etc ... great i...

Enjoy ...
