When i was young my love was Roland....but now by the 10 years KORG is the KING of arrangers

I confirm what I have always thought Korg is another world!!!

from my point Pa4x wins

Very nice comparison! Thank you so much Tony. I've got already the PA4X and I am very excited with it. I use to have the PA3X in the past. For me, the new PA4X is one step further. Better screen, better sound quality, more sounds, dedicated user keyboard SETs (without loosing the factory keyboard sets/xPerformances), the Direct option to load more sounds and styles is amazing, better keybed, 2 Line inputs (the Stereo Mini-jack on the 2nd input helps you to connect your tablet or your smartphone), the new Backlit option it's very helpful when you use the keyboard in a dark place, but most of all i am excited with the new feature "midi to style". You should visit your nearest shop for a test drive ;).

I've played with both and I find that the Korg has better sound in general. Its very easy to use and intuitive. keys are better feel wise and you have more nuance control. and voice processing is way better than the tyros. materials used to build the korg seem more refined as well.

I always loved Tyros 4 and didn't realy like PA3x sounds, but now I see PA4x is the winner in all instances.Only drums seems to be much more brighter on Yamaha.

About the realistic sounds here is no clear winner. But Yamaha has CD sound, like recorded. Korg sounds life playing.

Nice demo! Very informative and helpful for people buying a keyboard. I prefer the korg imo

Very good comparative. I have a Tyros 5 and intend to supplement it with a Korg PA4X in the next few weeks. So I will have the good of both.

Korg's sound is much better on here, in my opinion. The Tyros 5 was no slouch but I felt that the PA4x had more depth in the sound.

I had all Tyroses since 2004 until this summer.Very good on effects and some sounds too.I had Korg PA2X too and PA3X Muzicant. I can tell you,when i was using a Tyros style,mostly of the people stand up and come to the dance floor.That not happend so often with korg styles.The sound its to brutal.Its very good for live performance whenyou play with a drummer,bass player and so... Its good for us they improved those keyboards arrangers. So, i've sold all arrangers i had and im waiting for my new one, Ketron SD 9.Hopefully its a friendly one Thats true,the piano on Korg it sounds very good,distorsion guitar also,some synths,brass,drums and ofcourse the touch its way better then Yamaha.

I have a Korg Pa4x. After watching this video, I was struck by Yamaha Tyros5 sound and I think that Yamaha won in this battle! But at Yamaha minus is that it's huge and very expensive. Thank you for the video.

These comments are from four years ago it's 2020 now and I'm still learning what my Tyros 5 can do. Never heard of the Korg PA4x till this video and I'm not sold the Korg is better. Some patches are different but you can tweak those. I have a Hydrasynth now and talk about feeling plastic keys, to go from the Tyros5 to Hydrasynth the plastic key bed feel was the first thing I noticed and a bit stiff too.

thank u Bonners for the nice comparing between this two amazing keyboards ,,, my heart goes with Tyros 5 ,,, but i think i will by Pa4x ,,, bcs it support middle east music and style more then Tyros ( please correct me if im wrong ) thank u again ...

The Yamaha super articulation can't be beaten the way the engine adds things in for you when you are playing just amazing

what about the ketron xd7 and now the xd9 do you guys carry them ? id love to see a comparison to these 2 boards !

It´s a very good video. I prefer Tyros but Px4 have some good sounds as well.

Out of the two demos I prefer the Korg Pa4x, 12 months ago I did the A/B test on both products and while the Tyros 5 has some nice sounds the Tyros has not got the depth of sound editing facilities that the Korg Pa4x has. Touch screen is massive plus, as is the much smaller footprint when compared with the large footprint of the Tyros range and static display controlled by buttons! One thing that immediately strikes you about the Korg Pa4x is its live organic sound and depth and soundstage. For live use the Pa4x is the clear winner and the Pa4x can be your one stop keyboard either in a Solo, Duo, Trio or band setting. In fact having spent a few days working with both the Tyros 5 and Pa4x it was the Pa4x that I decided to take home with me and 12 months on I have not looked back on that purchasing decision even given the fact that I have other Pro Keyboards to play in any of the above musical situations. My view is that if your torn between these two products then spend some time to put them through their paces before deciding which one to buy. I would also say that the Pa4x allows so much versatility in all areas from style creation, style editing, Sampling, Sound Editing and recording that it sounds different for each player where as everyone I have ever heard playing the Tyros sound the same with its polished shiny overproduced sound. All in All the Pa4x is the players instrument and the Tyros seems more at home, well in the home. Last up you will have a hard job getting better service than at Bonners Music which is where I got my Pa4x 76, Tony is such a knowledgeable and nice guy always on hand to provide answers and solutions to any questions that you might have and I had many !!!! :) and other than being a customer at Bonners I have no other ties and so can provide a impartial review of the product and service.

I've played both and I prefer both. :)

I had Tyros 4 and Korg pa3x at the same time. I have to say they had both pros and limitations. I'm always in love with Korg. Actually I have a Kronos 2 88 which I love. When Tyros 5 came out, I finally decided to get it and I was sad to leave pa3x. However the sound quality, the organ world, the quartet technology and the sound articulation + 76keys finally available, convinced me to upgrade. I'm very satisfied cause the sound output has been improved. Guitar sounds and amp simulations are realistic. There is also a wide possibility to edit styles like Korg. sequencer has its own strange way to work but the possibility to record audio on track proved useful. Of course the general live playability, the possibility to easily remove parts of the accompany and change while playing, the sensible part of the keyboard for chord recognition and bass inversion still miss me too much. I'm a pianist after all and I would like to play piano for n the whole keyboard, maintaining the harmony while singing but without listen to the bass on my left side. Ok everything can be programmable on Tyros but it can be very boring to memorize every styles that way. Having now prepared lot of tracks and memories and having bought three sound libraries (fantastic!) I don't see and listen in the Korg pa4x a superiority (except for the midi to style conversion) able to convince me to loose all the advantages from Tyros. I hope next model will include arpeggiator as the psr970 and maybe dimensions reduced as Korg pa4x and Tyros will definitely continue to be my choice for arrangers category.

I have both keyboards tyros 5 and korg pa4x. I was amazed that the keyboard has more depth in sounds and styles and the key sentivity was way better than tyros5 .I can keep on pressing the korg keys they get a lot louder and it has better expression which t5 has none

Can someone please tell me the name of the Piano piece played in the beginning. Its awesome and Shazam is not directing me to the correct music. Thanks :-)

Two heavyweights, both excellent. Korg got the edge on ease of use, dynamic sound stage and...price. I’m getting the Korg.

Having recently sold my T5 I have no regrets I just did not find it all that. Some of the features were good but not great, maybe the best sound was the Church Organ or Organ Pipes, they really sounded amazing. As for the PA4x wow - my friend just purchased it a few days ago and I had a blast on it and it blew me away. As for some talking about the complexities of the user interface I can understand the T5 being much simpler but then its actually not in the same league as the PA4x and the 4x just has far more control and settings you can define etc and its not that complicated. There are my two pennies worth - go for the PA4 x and ditch the plastic toys r us looking T5...^^

As beautiful and cool as the tyros looks and it might have a simpler interface, the korg has a clearer sound, i prefer the pa4x.

( my opinion ) I have Tyros4 , when you listen to Tyros demos you'll feel that sounds are incredible but in real it's just a fake compressed voices if you mix them you'll lose the quality .. it is just a toy Korg makes a worth keyboards and you can trust them

is there a compression tool on pa4x -as on the pa3x for sampling 400 mb not much compared to pa3x 512mb

where is your shop, can you give info please and do you ever have any demos going on in the shop my yamaha demonstrators or any others ...ah eastbourne got it, miles away that pheww

Either Korg has gotten a WHOLE lot better since the PA3X, or Yamaha has taken about four steps backwards with Tyros 5. Personally, I think that the volumes weren't set correctly, and that the Yamaha suffered greatly because the headphone amp may be hotter than the Korg's, and Tony turned it down to match headphone outputs. What I really would like to see is a MIDI file, tweaked for each keyboard, using the best sounds, and then run each into a mixer, and set the volume levels there. I have a PA800, and it's obvious that the PA4X has much better sounds that the PA800, or even the PA3X, and I applaud Korg for finally doing that. Of course, don't have the money to get one, but if truth be told, I'd like one of each, and play to each's strong points.

On the tyros more demped sounds, note depends also by the power of the preamp and the speakers/sub-woofer . I would go for Korg Pa4x

@Bonners the 76 PA4x is about 400 GBP cheaper than the Tyros5 76 at present too! Good value.

Hey guys, Any idea of the first song that is being played?

It's obvious it is a big difference between them, PA4x win in every chapter !

Does the tyros 5 have hard tune like the pa4x?

is there an option to change the COLOR of those BLUE and ORANGE buttons that are LED???

I listen without watching the video. I replay the video and watch this time. Both keyboards are great, there are some points where i like Korg more but overall (to me) yamaha tyros 5 wins the battle. It would be great to have both keyboards.

Got. both of them.....plus a montage......real fun :-)

Having owned both, I would say with Yamaha you get the best, but you also pay the most! Both are good, but overall you get what you pay for.

Wish I lived in the UK....would love to visit your store

This is and older video now but, any reason why this was recorded in mono? These keyboards sound GREAT in stereo.

Korg... The best by a mile, and they look after customers. If you have a problem with a piece of kit, Korg will sort out quickly, Just speakin from experiance.

Seriously Tempted with the Korg, I tried a PA3X which I personally think has the best keyboard action ever, and the guitars sound great on the 4, I had a Tyros 5 but it didn't quite do it for me, can't explain why. Both great keyboards though.

I own a T5 and to medthe Korg wins by miles!.... So better and dynamic. I am selling my T5 and getting hold on the Korg..

I heard that Adele's drummer was used for the samples of drums on the Tyros 5.

O m w the Korg is way better in every sound And I’m a Yamaha fan. Genos has saved your reputation and the PA4x is £1000 approx less so the outcome is Korg PA4X wins

They are both good

PA3x was launched 2 years before the Tyros 5, so we have to compare the products which are available to purchase at the time of making the video, which in November 2015 there are only two choices: PA4x or Tyros 5. Maybe Tyros 6 will arrive in 2 years time!

thank you very much for this video! the pa 4x is evidently way better.

KOrg sounds so real although, I like the pianos and brass, pads better on the Yamaha. KOrg guitar sounds life like

Good demo of 2 very good keyboards, even though I prefer Tyros 5 sounds... But why only compare sounds and drum sets ? I wanted to hear different types of styles as well... Comparison uncomplete !!

Dear Bonners Music, I know they are completely different machines however, what would you say if you compare the sound quality of Pa4x and Korg Kronos2? Thank you.

THE MUSIC DEPENDS ON WHO PLAY THE MUSIC.

Hi Tony. Great videos! I really like the PA4X. I live in a rural area of Canada and don't have access to a great store like yours with lots of keyboards to try out. I am interested in the PA4X and the Yamaha PSR-S970. I realize that this is comparing 'apples to oranges' but while the Yamaha is a second choice, it is less than half the price of the Korg. I could afford the additional cost but it would 'hurt'. I am a mediocre keyboardist, still learning. One question is concerning the quality of the buttons and hardware and keys (I understand that they are weighted on the Korg), comparatively. The second question concerns the availability of a 76 key board on the Korg vs. 61 on the Yamaha. How important do you think that would be? Do you think the considerable extra cost is warranted (for me) for the Korg or am I likely to be satisfied with the Yamaha? In spite of my limited talent, this unit would see heavy use at home and performing. I realize that you don't know me and would be just speculating but I would appreciate you opinion. Thanks!

Korg the best

I'm also planning to buy a keyboard after I have a technics for 15 years. It must be good enough for the next 15 years. The korg looks better but the yamaha sounds better except the piano sound. But still that does not say much because there are a lot of piano sounds and modifications and equalizers can also do a lot. I would be happy with each of them if I saved enough euros...

Its time to compare Genos - PA4X ;)

The Yamaha seems to have brighter Violins/Drums. Korg has qood bass smoother transition.Good variety of instruments. Thx/JJ

Ambos son muy buenos y hasta con prestaciones similares, pero hay factores muy importantes que me hacen inclinarme por el Korg, en especial en cuanto a su sistema operativo, memoria ROM y efectos, como también en relación a la construcción de uno y otro, que en el Korg es sin duda muy superior, con mejores materiales y más compacto, en cuanto al tema de los sonidos…, algunos en el Yamaha son mejores que los del Pax4, pero otros lo son en el Korg, por lo que siendo tan similares en ese sentido y tomando en cuenta lo anterior siento que se inclina la balanza a favor de Korg, a todo esto hay que sumar lo del precio, ya que es bastante más barato, con alrededor de los US$1500 menos que en el Yamaha, en cualquiera de sus versiones (76 o 61 teclas) hay otro factor que va por el lado de lo estético y que es cosa de gustos, pero para el mío, el color del Tyros es horrible y junto a los materiales con que lo han construido y a las lucecitas de colores, lo hacen ver como tecladito de juguete. También debemos tener claro que el Pax4 no es una simple actualización como lo es en el caso de Tyros 5, sino que es una totalmente nueva y revisada versión, por todo eso y si tomamos en cuenta lo que mencionaba acerca del mejor sistema operativo de Korg y los efectos pues la decisión es clara, el Pa4X es sin duda la elección más inteligente…

Me quedo con el PA4X... su facilidad de manejo, precio y su sonido mas dulce y natural... Sin embargo el sonido mas vivo y agudo del Tyros beneficia a su percusión y es un teclado con mas octavas...

I was very surprised how incredibly realistic the Korg PA4x sounds, I thought I was going to be underwhelmed. Although in general the Korg PA4x sounds more realistic I still prefer the Tyros 5 for quite a few reasons. One reason I prefer the saxophone sounds on the Tyros 5 which brings me to my next reason the legacy sounds, you also get all the sounds from previous Tyros keyboards including Tyros 1 and Tyros 2 so the Tyros 5 gives you the best of both worlds. In addition to all the newer sounds you do also get some of the older digitized sounds as well as XG and general midi 2 sounds with any Tyros and with Genos although with Genos you can only use the XG sounds to revoice songs and rhythms you can't play them on the keyboard unless you load an XG folder via a USB thumb drive.

I think Korg PA4X is better. Korg has very many functions and you can change as you want and like.

Ok, is nice, but I have no reason to be not satisfied with my combination Yamaha PSR S 970 and Korg PA 900. Most of the sounds I need are perfect, what I more miss are additional audio styles for the Yamaha, promised only.

Yamaha is cool and the Korg is HOT! PAx4 Just GREAT!!!

Both together sounds the best.

The sounds of the instruments and accompaniment in KORG are more live but Yamaha is better in the styles !

The purpose of the video is very good, but I find it more confusing than helpful. When I hear all this I'ld prefer the Korg, like most of the other viewers. But I watched another video comparing the two and there the result was the opposite and the Tyros sounded better then in this video. The comments were nearly all in favor of the Yamaha. Could it be because of the sound set-up?

It's 2021. Before I spend $4k on a PA4x, does anyone know if a PA5 (or equivalent) is on the horizon?

ouch crazy diference with the guitar and brass sounds with aticulation mode of the tyros

How are the keys of the korg pa4x? do they feel better than the tyros?

i buy from them fyu months ago korg pa3x)))))

Why are the sounds in mono and it sounds like there are phasing issues

PA4X WINS NICE WORK

Korg is King.................. Amazing

I'm planning to buy one or the other soon, but I can't decide which...

I am a Yamaha fan I love Tyros by this particular demonstration Korg (Tones) sounds awesome more live I don't know what was wrong with Tyros5 maybe mother board corrupted or Tyros 5 was the failure version which made Yamaha to replace by Genos Can you do comparison test on Korg PA4 series and Yamaha Genos with styles I would like to hear it Thank you

me quedo con korg

I have the pa4x but i think the tyros is the one ...the power!!

wouldnt a better comparison be the pa4x to the yamaha psr-970 the tyros is double the price of the 4x

for me i choose 2 brand yamaha and korg i like 2 way korg and yamaha

Now the Yamaha Montage is out

Ambos son excelentes pero en este caso me decanto rotundamente a favor del KORG PA4x lo veo mucho mas natural al Tyros 5 lo aprecio mas Artificial y menos realista.. KORG wins.

04:10 No smoking orchestra - Zenica blues

Korg sounds beefier especially on the piano..a no contest..the tyros sound thin and weedy in comparison but the yamaha boards just seem a lot easier to use and all the sounds just seem to gel better but neve rthe less its an interesting comparison

Korg all the way!!!

Korg guitar like sound, amazing👋

KORG IS LIKE IPHONE AND YAMAHA IS LIKE SAMSUNG. Y ALL CAN JUDGE NOW

Tyros is cool!👍(Guitar sounds fire - very close

Le son du Korg est plus chaud, plus Jazzy mais le Tyros5 le surpasse aux percussions, c'est dû à l’expérience de Yamaha dans les batteries électroniques.

Korg is natural sources but Yamaha is synthesized sources but any way both the keyboards is greater especially korg is outstanding in its dimensions...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Intresting KORG started without no MAXX MASTER EQ. And without MAXX Korg sounds very dry

Korg without hesitation

Korg😍😎

es posible que el piano de pa4x suene un poco mejor que el de tyros5 el de tyros 5 es una caca es el mismo que trae el mox y el xs aver si ponen el s6

Korg 👍🏻

top

Clearly Korg the winner! More realistic sound. Yamaha engineered by sound engineer. Korg by musicians.

Pa4x nice

obviously KORG pa4x.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Tyros 5 wins hands down. But hay ho, it's just an opinion , after all. It's all a matter of personal taste

without any doubt Yamaha is waaay better from any perspective, including design, layout..
