Great video! I wish I had this when I first bought my Pa5x months ago! One tip on the tempo adjustment, the “dial” is defaulted to adjusting tempo when choosing a new style. I look forward to more Pa5x videos! Thanks Woody!

@UDPride Ай бұрын

Great videos. The Pa5x is extremely powerful. Another functionality I like is you arent tied to any specific drum kit when you choose a style (such as the default kit they choose for you). You can change the kit itself. So you could choose the Bossanova style but use a Hard Rock drum kit. This is great if you love the sound of certain drum kits and want to use them on different styles. Of course you can also go granular within each style and if you wanted to change the kick drum or snare you can certainly do that to get the precise sound you want. You could create a Phil Collins sounding kit with relative ease with lots of toms. This ability to mix and match styles and kits makes the possibilities almost limitless because a rock kit on a soul or bossanova style is almost like a different sounding rock style especially when you fool around with the tempo and use the matrix to mute any unwanted parts that are still too "bossanova-y".

The more I see it, the more I think I like it better than the Genos2. Although I believe the VFM arranger would be the PSR-SX700 or 900.

@soulgirl62 2 ай бұрын

I have the Korg PA 5X and it's feels nicer to play than Genos and it sounds so much better all round in my opinion... A lot more up to date styles too .. the chord looper is amazing

@WoodyPianoShack 2 ай бұрын

yes, although chord looper is on both, it just seems easier on the pa. but how are korg owners managing without genos registration buttons? i know there is the songbook, but it is not at all the same. that feature is for me, sorely missed.

@soulgirl62 2 ай бұрын

@@WoodyPianoShack i still only have the original Genos... i am sat on the fence about Genos 2 because i still havent fully explored creating my own styles on the Genos 1 yet... i think once i have done that i may then think if it is worth getting Genos 2 , and yes the Genos Registrations are so handy but as youve probably seen , on the PA5X , you can really edit the styles so much so both keyboards have pro's and con's

@genosman 2 ай бұрын

I own genos1 and pa5x. Both are great keyboards in their own right. Korg lacks some features essential for style creation. Hope korg will update the operating system with new features. But format of style files is more advanced. Keyboard is better on korg to my taste. But besides registrations, Yamaha has a lot of really quality content which is easily convertible between models (korg always introduces new style formats and there is no backward compatibility). When it comes to styles all-in-all Yamaha wins for me in rock dance and pop categories, korg has very nice ballads and Latin styles section though. Hope it will help people who are on a fence for their new keyboard to make a decision:)

Thanks, Woody; perfect timing; my new Pa5X is due for delivery tomorrow. I originally planed to get the 61 key as an organist most of my keyboards are 61 key, but opted for the 76 key. Not a pianist, so weighted keys are not my first choice. wish they made 88 key options with waterfall/synth keys...IIRC Korg did make an 88-key Kronos with synth action?

@WoodyPianoShack 2 ай бұрын

no 88 synth, but the 76 will be plenty and really handy when you split the keyboard to have some extra space. congrats and enjoy yours!

Woody, thanks for another thorough video on a great arranger keyboard! I had tunnel vision of buying the new Genos 2, until you explained some of the enticing features of the Pa5X. The Genos has about 200 more styles, but with Korg's X-Fader, the style possibilities are expanded exponentially. I also like the pad matrix, and smoother instrument sound transition this Korg offers. My keyboard purchase history has favored Yamaha for years, but from the mechanics to the aluminum and wood case construction, the Korg seems like more bang for my buck! While performing, in your opinion which keyboard has the highest ease of use in the controls/touch screen layout? My familiarity with Yamaha's PSR arrangers makes me wonder if the Pa5X might be hard to transition to, yet I yearn to choose the best instruments to help me grow as a musician.

@WoodyPianoShack 2 ай бұрын

hi and thanks for the comment, i find g2 to be much easier to use, more intuitive, bigger friendlier UI on the touchscreen. definitely found myself referring to manual more with the korg. g2 has fantastic registration buttons which are incredibly useful, lacking on the korg. the korg however is stronger in other departments. impossible for me to pick a winner.

Could you please compare Korg and Yamaha approaches and the convenience and ease of operation on these devices? Flowless, touch screen feel, search and storage, connection to a computer (DAW) and so. I'm looking forward to see such topics in your future videos.

i have no idea about that. but you can assign the faders to control synth parameters as you like so i would say external controller not needed.

@heydavemyers1 Ай бұрын

I use a Korg PA1000 for solo live performance. And, I'm about to buy a PA5x. I started out just playing the keyboard and added layers to the sound. Then, I gradually got into the styles/rhythms to sound like a whole band. I don't use styles/rhythms on all my songs, but it's nice for rock, swing, etc. I think the longer you experiment with these keyboards the better you get at it.
