There is a lot of latin styles. I'm preparing a new video about this.

​@@ArturSekura Thank you for the quick reply. I have a Tyros 4 which is zero for the styles mentioned. - Chuck Berry, Boney m, Kool & The Gang, Tom Jones, The platters, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Abba, village people, Oh pretty woman ? (...) Tyros 4, Tyros 5, Genos : sucks ! But with the Ketron we are in another world! My question: Does Pa5X have styles that can play all of this music? And if so, does it exceed the Ketron?

Génos

@@bernardmartinand7506 No way :)

That's right . For me it's better to get the Ketron SD90 for.$3,000

Hmmm, still sounds like an arranger, styles too quantized, missing that live human feel, the solo instruments sounds ok, expected a bit more for an update on a machine that’s been around for quite some time. I tend to be drawn more and more towards Roland thesedays, especially the Fantom 6, but I think it’s just because of my style of music I put out there.

@@andrem.musiek I’m referring to sounds, not styles specifically. I agree that styles sound like coming from an arranger though, but if you use the same level of quantising using computers or other non-arranger keyboards, like the Fantom, these will sound like arrangers too. Previous arrangers added more artificial feeling to the equation because not only their styles are mechanically programmed, but also because the quality of the sounds and effects suck. Maybe now with the Pa5X we can create better styles with better sounds. What do you think?

@@CoderCoronet maybe yes, don’t get me wrong, I love Korg and were overjoyed when the Triton VSTI came out after I sold my synth about 5 years ago. But ya it’s a great looking instrument, and I know with OS updates it will become a mean arranger, it’s just unfortunate that there’s still bit of that old arranger feel to how it sound in general.

@@andrem.musiek No it’s ok really. I totally agree it still sounds artificial. I would say that the main issues happen when changing chords. It sounds like the tracks cut too suddenly and maybe a little off. They haven’t fixed that yet and it is annoying. I remember my old Roland G-600. It managed changing chords in a more subtle way.

Agree with all that you wrote, and with the comments below. I also noticed all that. Because that's what Korg established : Arrangers and Workstations are WORLDS APPART. We all need this difference between the categories. Do you want to be original and bring out shocking new compositions ? Buy a Workstation. Do you want to feel comfortable and cope with all gigs circumstances ? Buy an Arranger. I've seen few musicians write about what you wrote : - "I would say that the main issues happen when changing chords. It sounds like the tracks cut too suddenly and maybe a little off. They haven’t fixed that yet and it is annoying." - My answer : 1. Yes, in the Arrangers there is that "Wrap Around" setting, in which you can establish to what extent the accompaniment "repeats" the SAME pitch. It's usually about one octave, and if you go above or below that octave, the same bass pitch will follow you, not bringing anything new. 2. In the world of Workstations the 2 Arpeggiators although limited - compared to the vast 8 track Accomp of the Arrangers - are doing a different job. The sounds are clearer, and MOST IMPORTANTLY : they are not set to "Wrap Around", they are responding to whatever pitch you choose on the ENTIRE keyboard. 3. I'm glad that Korg continues with the 2 Arps tradition in Workstations, while the other companies have only 1 !!! ... By the way, Kronos had 4 KARMA Modules !!!

Hope

Becouse the first shippment is In the middle of July.

Of course usually best styles go to next generation.
