Managed to afford one eventually (...as well as the gas bill...result). I visited a music shop in milton keynes having the opportunity to try both Genos 2 (already have Genos 1) and Korg PA5X. I quickly realised there was very little point in changing to Genos 2 (from Genos 1) as I couldn't discern much difference in tonal quality and machine was virtually unchanged. So sticking with Genos 1 which is an excellent machine, great sound quality and instruments and makes performing live a dream. But, I fancied adding new tones and styles to my library. The Korg is a different beast, definitely aimed at the professional and hence it's slightly less intuitive. Yamaha have simplified and distilled usability to almost beginner/novice level (which is why I think some people don't take it seriously.....but believe me it is serious). The Korg PA5x definitely has more of a learning curve but i'm liking the difference and was brought up on workstation type instruments (therefore I'm used to a level of complexity and will get used to it eventually). Main differences between Genos 1 and Korg PA5x is build quality - PA5x is solid and made for the road. PA5x benefits from the latest samples and sonic quality of the latest synths. The screen, layout, buttons and lighting makes it very impressive impressive looking. It is incredible so looking forward to learning it and using for live performance along with my Genos 1.

back in 1983, i was able to buy one of the first korg poly 800 keyboards that had just been shipped to chuck levins in wheaton maryland. i remember talking to some of the sales people, asking if there was a keyboard out at that time that does what this new korg does. they all looked at me as if i was crazy and told me there would never be anything that could do exactly what this new korg does. i've been waiting almost 40 years for this new keyboard and it feels good to know that i was actually thinking out of the box all those years ago.

Y'all should've had this video front and center. So many other videos out there not really showing what rev 5x can do above and beyond the previous and competition. NOW, I'm impressed 🧐

I keep watching Korg PA5X videos, then Yamaha Genos 2 videos ... keep going back and forth back and forth ... just when I think I've made a decision, I hear another video and switch my mind ... argh! Driving me crazy.

Korg always best ❤

Very musical presentation. I like the way Roland thinks, this approch to manage this keyboard.

You can not make a good presentation without good skills. That one is from the best i've seen until now by pa5x 👌👌👌👌

The Korg GUI makes Yamaha and Roland look like amateur night. Its just so much more intuitive, visually simplified, and common sensical than the complicated "menu and list" alternatives. Smart but simple things like icons for each of the drum kit pieces to tweak those settings is well thought out and easy to understand and interact with. We are visual people and graphics are quicker to digest.

This is an amazing keyboard. I currently have a PA800 and I really am hoping that i'll be able to trade it up soon to a PA5X 76. I mean, ever since the i3, I think Korg has been in the forefront of Arranger keyboards, but this is just a whole new level. The sounds on this are, in my opinion, airplay ready. I wouldn't have said that for two many 'arranger' keyboards until the PA4X and Genos came out, and I'm still not too sure about the Genos. But, there is absolutely no question in my mind about this keyboard.

Pretty excited though that for the first time the Pa series is getting an 88 key version too. Not to mention the SST technology that was only on the Kronos and Nautilus.

One of the best Demo's of PA5x

What a machine. Very powerful features and I imagine countless hours of enjoyment and superb at a gig. I want one!

Seeing this video I was fascinated and immediately wrote congratulations, I am a lover of keyboards but this one amazed me, thanks for sharing this wonderful video

I am so glad that I ordered one bought the 88 key version

12.56...you can edit the individual drum sounds...marvelous. Great piece of kit.

Good to see Luke after a long time, Missed his presentations

Sturdy build, not merely a plastic case.

Starting to love Korg

Thanks for explaining in terms I feel I can understand . Never felt I got to know my PA3X fully, this seems a simpler workflow

For those of you that are saying that the Pa5X is a straight up copy with design elements of the Roland Fantom, Yamaha Genos (don't think it's the PSR series but I digress) and the Korg Kronos/Kronos 2 as far as sounds go and also the Set List (kind of), yeah okay that may be true, but at the same time and no offence intended, but why is that a problem? Obviously Korg would have had feedback from end users saying that their wishlist for their new flagship keyboard, was design elements of other past keyboards. Yes Korg may not have brought anything new to the table, but at the same time and again no offence intended, but why is that a problem?

Awesome musical tool. Cool. Thank you for your excellent demo.

Amazing keyboard 👌🎹

Nota dez

Finally, they added the feature that allows you to play a rythm style "simultaneously" with a MIDI or an Mp3 file, something that I'd been using on my Yamaha PSR S950, but after I bought a Korg pa900 and fell in love with it, I got upset this feature was missing. In a live situation when you entertain people, you can't lose a second trying to play a MIDI/MP3 file immediately unless you "stop" the Style Mode "then" press the Play Mode. Now, this Korg pa5x is solving the problem by adding this option, but, too bad, I can't afford it!!

magnificent sound.

Absolutely superb demonstration. Thank you!

Thank you very much for introducing these interesting features! ⚡

this is a great demo...got my legs shaking. Wow 25:00, Lord of the Rings soundtrack, beautiful!!!!!

I can't wait to get my hands on this keyboard!!!

No words to express my feelings....

Спасибо Вам Большое 👍 Отлично 👍

Жду шедевров, равных тому, что было в 60..80-х

Os graves desse teclado é incrível. Pena que custa muito caro

This is an awesome keyboard

Parabéns cara pelo seu trabalho 👏👏👏👏

Best demo I've seen, many thanks!

Excellent presentation! Thank you.

It’s not the first time ever, guys! The I-Series in 1993 had 61.,76 and 88 keys (the i1) and they never did it again until now.

why you people finished the video just amazing. it could not be better

❤️😘👌🎹 congratulations!!! 🎉

Very good demo. Much appreciated 👏👏

É um bom teclado, mas é muito caro! Para investir um valor desses em um teclado desse é um absurdo

wow what a great keyboard

Where are the speakers? Beautiful sound and lots to do!!!the smaller one.,51 keys, etc would like a Manuel please

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤luar biasa rajanya keyboard🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

om 🎶 gran bella macchina 🎹💯

Wow perfect sound 👍👍👍

Wonder if Korg will even ship this keyboard before 2023

Great machine!

Awesome I want one

I have a question.... You can split the keyboard in several places. For example LOWER from C1 to C2, UPPER 3 from C3 to C4, UPPER 2 from D4 to F5 etc ?

What amp are you playing this machine through as it doesn't have built in speakers?

I’ve owned a Korg pa4x for years, use it at my gigs. It looks like Korg took away the ec5 foot switch option???? I sure hope not! I use the ec5 to control the drums and fills in real time at ALL my gigs! Is there another option for control of stops, start, fills, a b c d sections with a foot switch of any kind? Man, I sure hope so, or I can’t buy this amazing new PA5!

Nice demonstration. thanks 🙂

What happened to KAOSS FX feature & no mention of the Vocal harmonizer?

Boa Noite 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏Bom

Top démo bravo

Hello can i buy this synthsizer? Because i saw on the internet this model have very much problem. Do you have any problem for this product?

O Yamaha Genos que se cuide!!!!

the perfect keyboard for someone who wants to push a million buttons...LOL.....arrangers have their own niche in the music world and this one is trying to supply virtually everything one can want in it....personally, I prefer creating my own "styles" with a sequencer, as I feel it teaches you more about the creation and generation of musical patterns and rhythms, but to each his own. All that button pushing comes at a hefty price, also.

Silnik hd1 zawsze był fajny w korgu mocno rozbudowany

So I'm coming at this from a groove box and synth set-up... I also have had various samplers and sequencers from Korg and Roland... Seems to me that these Arranger keyboards are loaded with amazing sounds that far exceed a groove box or standalone production unit like the Akai Force or MPC (but you can get really good sound packs and VST's on those machines). Can I sequence drums and samples on one of these machines? can I then play keys over those sequences and create complete songs? Can I midi out to other synths or say TB 303's while playing those songs? can I bring the sound of those external instruments that are sync'd over midi into the arranger and add effects? Can I then connect the arranger to a computer running a DAW and multi track record the midi and the audio? If I can do all these things I would sell 99% of my studio and buy 1 arranger.

Essa máquina é um jogo de R$ 47 mil. Encara? Um espetáculo.

They finally improved the styles quality , no manual yet , Did they add any new sounds and drumkits ?

wish I could purchase one of this keyboard

What about the folks that have thousands of dollars invested in music sample libraries for the Korg kronos? Will these be compatible with this new pa5x?

I got it today. next to the Yamaha Genos that I have, the Korg PA5X Blows it out of the water!

so, will the PA1000 be upgraded to include all this new technology?

Good job 👍

Thank’s a lot for this super vidéo This Pa5 x is great but what about export audio from it to a Daw is it possible to do that with logic pro x? Like the roland fantom for example ?

Человек оркестр☝️🙋‍♂️🇺🇿

Hi, At 15:00 minute you show a smooth sound transition example. can you share how to set it?

To PA5X owners, how do you find the quality of the key bed? I am selling my yamaha psr sx900 for this because there are some loose keys that make noise while playing. Very cheap quality I can say! And how do you find the overall hardware quality in general? Is it solid for harsh portability?

Korg Pa5x has a lot of issues like screen freezing, automatic shutdown while playing, and recording issues

Es un hermoso teclado, suena increible, cualquier tecladista desearía uno lástima que esta fuera del alcanse de uno $$😔

Nice work.. Is there any VST emulator of this ?

when I make a new USER in the Keyboard set library, it is possible to raise or lower the octave of only one instrument? Thanks

how do you balance the sound say if the drums and acc is loud as the pa4x has the balance control by the volume control

Já me escrevi no seu canal parabéns

13:20? Is that possible to assign a different snare drum on the key? Korg should improve their snare and symbol sounds, like in Yamaha.

Is there a sound design program so you can do it on computer

very nice review, thanks.

Top!!!!

Que hermoso frontal del teclado y funciones el tema el precio

👍👍

Excuse me what the diferenc pa5x whit korg pa 1000?

👍👍👍

Korg kill genos i never see this coming wow

In the left hand section, the Pa700, 1000 and 4x series sound better to me. I personally think that this is a step backwards for Korg, and I'm not happy about it for the sake of Korg, which I appreciate and have many of its keyboards. They were missing somewhere.

So where is the software update that was coming in May? nothing, 1 year lost waiting, no quick record, this is what I always use in this PA keyboards, but now nothing, I only use the pa4, the 5x is just using space going older. This is not OK, I think his will be my last korg keyboard, after about 10 I bought in years,, price went much up and features down, that's not OK.

Please how much is this keyboard. Thank you

can this pa5x korg keyboard play dangdut music?

Great 😀👍

È in arrivo EVENT BY Ketron ...non facciamo acquisti avventati. Aspettiamo e confrontiamo.

Most of the features explained here are available on my humble Pa3x minus the new display colours n Matrix Pads. Can the matrix Pads be used as a drum pad / kit parts to play new drum beats plus percussion parts n then record the loop ?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Buenas tardes tío korg pa5x quiero saber cuanto de memoria tendrá para cargar samples Mínimo voy aceptar 4GB por ese precio ok

I hope the damn thing is worth it it is a lot of money to spend

Jeszcze tylko taki drobiazg - ile to kosztuje ?

Don't buy the 5X yet!!!! It has lots of software issues, and the switching styles option doesn't work properly, the 5X has lots of issues, I would wait for korg to it all up
