PA600 61-Key Professional Arranger with Color Touchview Display

Outstanding new "little brother" of the Kord PA3X professional arranger. Exceeded all my expectations. This keyboard is an upgrade from a Korg PA500 professional arranger. Now that I'm pushing 70 years old my keyboard chops are not what they used to be. Korg's PA series are great all-in-one music makers. You can control a virtual band or orchestra in the left hand with solo/duet/trio instrumentation in the right hand. Awesome!Edit: 5/25/2014 Now that I've had this arranger for several months I'd like to add the following. There has been great support for this machine from the Korg community. My PA now sports many new styles from the PA3x and PA3X Musikant (German Styles). I've added an awesome Steinway Grand Piano as well as wonderfully sampled Andean flutes and Andean folk styles. I've worked out how to add any Hammond organ registration I want with the sound editor. I've also discovered how easy it is to convert Yamaha styles and pads to my PA600. A 3rd party developer has just released the Korg PA Manager. This new PA Manager makes it easy to manage and organize your PA (all models) sets. To top it off, the good folks over at Dynamix now have dozens of new sample packs for Korg, including the PA600.

KORG PA600 is an incredible arranger indeed. Very Professionally equipped, and equipment.Tons of features that cannot fit on a display ad. Well built and thought of. Studio quality sound production for professionals alike. My extensive research proved rewarding after purchasing this keyboard.

I ordered the PA600 in April after waiting a week for it to arrive, I turn it on and notice the display is flickingI touch the display and the normal screen appears (I get to play around with it a little)Eventually the display stopped working altogetherI send the unit back, wait a week for the return to get there, and another day to get my refundI decide to give the PA600 another chanceI order one, wait a week for it to arrive, I turn it on and NO DISPLAY!Now it’s June I have to wait a week or more to get a refundI can tell you one thing I won’t be buying a KORGWhen the first one was still working, I was not impressed with it to begin with, if I was trying it out in a store I would not have bought itI will probably buy the Yamaha PSR-S750

Great sound!

Play it all the time no problems

Sound quality is crisp and clear.

This was a used instrument that was said to in perfect working order. This was not true. Apparently, it was eighter not fixed or incorrectly fixed. There were many things that were wrong with the mother board.

I expected PA600 to have all that PA500 had plus more. It seems to be the other way around. The sounds are definitely better. But the styles are much poorer. Korg seems to have skimped on funding or effort in making them. PA500 had three 'Break' buttons, each with a different type. The most useful was the 3/4 break. All that is gone - there is only one button and even there Korg did a very bad job - you cannot even feel the break in the rhythms. PA600 is supposed to maintain compatibility with the PA500 styles. While this is true, most of the transfer of my private styles is useless. While the style names are the same, the music in the styles is totally different and lacking in good rhythms. I am quite disappointed as I will now have a steep relearning curve complete with rearranging all my PA500 styles. I am seriously thinking of returning this unit and buying my old PA500 back.

He tenido varios teclados.Casino, Yamaha, Roland y ahora Korg.Hasta el momento el que me ha convencido más en la calidad del sonido y los ritmos es el Korg.Ya tengo un año con él y aún no he usado todas sus características y funciones.

Excellent

Wonderful product, either for Home recording or Music creation- go for it. Timely and safe delivery by Amazon & highly appreciable after sales service and quick response from Bajjao

J’ai attendu près de 20 ans avant de changer mon autre clavier arrangeur, et celui-ci est la meilleure décision de musicien mélomane que j’ai prise en 20 ans. Les sons, les styles d’accompagnements et les variations sont tous d’une excellente qualité et tous modifiables au besoin.Pleins de vidéos explicatifs sont disponibles sur internet pour démontrer la qualité de cet instrument. Il y aussi beaucoup de fichiers de mise à jour qui rendent l’instrument encore plus complet.Pour le budget que j’avais à consacrer à cet achat, c’est vraiment le meilleur pour le prix.

しかも自動伴奏が凄く良い。難点といえば海外のユーザーサイトにはイッパイ情報がありそうですが、日本では使いこなそうと思うと得られる情報が少ない。KORGはもっと日本のユーザーのために海外の情報を照会して欲しい。
