Wotcha folks

Well after three weeks of exploring the Pa600 I can say categorically that it's light years better than my Yammie S900 How it compares with the newest S-Series boards from Yamaha - I'm not sure.

I do miss the audio recorder; and when you have fingers like Cumberland sausages the 'touch screen' menus can be a bit of a problem when it comes to mastery

Just wish there were more styles available! I downloaded some Pa3X styles from the bonusware site and they work perfectly on the 600 ...

Is there anywhere I can download the Pa3X internal styles in their entirety? Need to go and 'ferreting' for them I think

All in all I'm well pleased with the Korg, they are no-way as forgiving as the Yamahas and consequently they do take a higher level of accuracy when it comes to playing if you want to get the best from the instrument

Fred, thank you very much for the links ... I wasn't aware of either of those sites so I'm most grateful for them

Many thanks for the styles sent by e-mail also My thanks also to John (jackoj) and Stasys Gelažauskas (T-de-P Facebook) for sharing styles with me

Happy Easter

Mike did you get my email with the PA3X styles?

Cheers, Keith

Hello Keith,

My apologies for the delay - I only just read your email this morning - the email account you sent to was the main site one and I hardly get any messages through on it so I don't often check it ... My address for regular communication is: clarke.m@talktalk.net

Thank you so much for the styles Keith, I will give them a try this evening and let you know how I get on with them ... I purchased a few styles from doo.de (or whatever they are called) in Germany and was very disappointed in them, all previous styles I have had from them for my Yamaha were superb ...

But altogether, I'm very pleased with 600 - it's a great little keyboard for the money.

Once again Keith, I do apologize for the lateness of my thanks and gratitude for the styles

All the best,

Mike

Hi Mike. All the best with your PA600, for the price it's a spot on arranger. I've played one and was surprised at the key feel, obviously not their top end, but I liked it better than the S950 that I had and sent back to the shop.

Hi Mike and everyone.

I also have the PA 600. It arrived yesterday. I have to say that for its price it's a real winner. Some of the voices
are even better than a few flagship models. It's gone back to a time when a keyboard just played music
without all the bells and whistles. No mic input (don't need it) No vocal harmoniser (got three already)
Plus a few other things I wouldn't use anyway. These omissions keep the price low, luckily the
voices are top notch. I have an entire library from my old I3 and the styles can play on the PA 600 to
take advantage of the better quality sounds. I would say that anyone looking for a good inexpensive
keyboard, then the PA 600 will fit the bill perfectly.

All the best. Gerry.

Here is a link to one of the best finger picking guitars i've ever heard from a keyboard.
I recorded it from the demo on PA 600. Amazing.

Curiosity got the best of me so I ordered these yesterday. I'm happy I did. There are quite a lot of new 'keepers' in there for me. Well worth the $8 spent. There were about a dozen or so 'retreads', but they represent a very small percentage of the total number of styles. I would have paid $8 just to get the XMAS styles. Here are the SETs included (each set has about 40-50 styles)
8 beat- 16 beat
BALLADS
BALLROOM
BOOGIE-ROCK
COUNTRY
DANCE
FUNK-SOUL-BLUES-GOSPEL
JAZZ
LATIN
POP
TRADITIONAL-WORLD
XMAS

That Netherlands site link is spot on, had that one in my favourites for a couple of years and downloaded some Roland styles yesterday.
New keyboard for me too, purchased a Roland BK-9 a couple of days ago. I'll do a write up when I've spent more time with it and have more spare time. I'm busy setting up sounds and samples on my Korg Oasys, for a recording session I have coming up soon.

Hello Gerry,

Congratulations on becoming a PA600 owner, I am sure you will be blown away with it just like I was ... am

I am amazed with it every time I use it .... there have been some useful improvements in the latest OS update, so the Korg PA600 just got better
The demo you uploaded is awesome ... the guitars simply 'trash' all other including the Tyros 4
Styles ... wow, no stale old styles on the 600 - the unplugged section has some awesome styles

I look forward to hearing you perform with the Korg in due course Gerry


Hiya Fred,

Thanks for the info and links, I will take a close look at those over the weekend


Wotcha Craig,

Congratulations on becoming a Roland BK-9 owner, I listened to the demo videos that Bill (Abacus) posted a few days ago and it sounds like a super keyboard .... I look forward to your review and maybe hearing you perform on it at some point


All the best.
