Download free styles for your Korg Pa arranger. Turkish, Arabic, Balkan, Greek, Romanian and international styles, sounds, performances and pads are available for.
Sound: This is a great arranger for getting right into the music. The jazz and bossa styles work for myself with fairly good arrangemements for backup. Less technical than the Pa500, instruments are fine, there are better instruments on the Korg X50, but that is a workstation. This is almost the same as the old Korg Pa80 and Pa60, sounds and features. Good for practice or playing live. It works wonders when you don't have to call up people to jam. I am keeping this one!
Feature: Some of the guitars are passable, as well as the piano, vibes and organ sounds. There are better units that can accomodate you if the instrument sounds are of most importance. Some of the horn sections are not so o.k., barely. Should come with sustain and assign pedals. Would be nice to have a CD burner on board. The floppy discs will load more programs, but read the directions so you don't overide the ones that are installed.
Ease of Use: Right out of the box, turn it on and play. The better you are the more likely you can make it sound good. Xbox 360 Iso Extractor By Somski on this page. Complex jazz rythyms with good chops that are lightin' fast, now that really helps. Or you can fade into the sunset with a bossa that is cool and serene. Quality: Not bad for an Italian design made in China.
There is no semi or weighted keys here, more like synth keys, something to get used too. Value: Good value for the money. Manufacturer Support: I wrote a couple of days ago and they haven't written back. Usually they may answer or e-mail you back, however it depends on what you want and how persistant you are.
The Wow Factor: It's plastic and not a Hammond B-3, so what. It looks like what it is semi-pro. I would beleive that it is not all together that aesthetically pleasing however, if they made it out of carbon fiber it would cost more, but it would be unbreakable.
Overall: Am always searching for more keyboard, they are the best toys. Just got a Korg X-50 but haven't played with it yet. Good instruments so far. Would like maybe an Korg M3 too. Sound: very good sounds! Clear, natural, usefull Feature: more features than any other arranger in this class!
Almost similar to pa80. Quality: is not perfect, but better than what you would expect when hear 'made in china'. Value: the best product for the money! Manufacturer Support: only support i needed until now was for downloading new styles and sounds and some freeware soft. It was very good! The Wow Factor: is very desirable! Overall: very satisfied!
I am not thinking of buying another product camparable with this one! Sound: Sound is beautiful, almost as good as the Pa800 or Pa1x. Preloaded instruments are nice, comes with a brief selection of oriental sounds and styles. Feature: One of the features it has that I love is the option to let you put your own (custom) sounds, styles, and songs inside. I use this instrument for middle eastern performences and the features are very good. For the Price of $900 this is awesome!
Ease of Use: Very very easy to use. Just load the floppy disk (if you own one) and load the sounds and styles. Choosing the sounds and styles are very easy. Many easy features that would be rather complicated on other keyboards. Quality: Quality seems to be good so far. It rarely has bugs but still has some.
I mean it is a nice Italian style developed in Japan and Made in China, like I said $900 very good deal. Value: For an instrument like this you should be very happy for getting it at $900. This is a really great price. If you were to buy a similar keyboard from 'Yamaha' it will cost you around $1,500. Manufacturer Support: Korg, very good support I hear from a lot of people. I actually baught my PA-50 at 'Guitar Center' and wherever you buy it new from Korg will give you I believe a 1 year limited warranty but if you register online I believe it will give you an extra year for free.
