Korg.. silently Defeated All other Brands with this Magnificent n Superb Synthesizer..Nice demo..🎼🎹👌👌

[vivianebuchert]

C'est la meilleure démo que j'ai pu voir sur ce clavier ! Fidèle aux arrangeurs Korg depuis des années, j'ai ce PA700 depuis un an et je dois dire qu'il m'étonne encore ! Belle amplification, styles riches et variés, Kaoss Pad (unique), sons acoustiques réalistes et aux dessus des concurrents sur les nappes et sons synthétiques. Si vous vous n'avez pas le budget pour un PA4X foncez sur ce PA700 au rapport Q/P imbattable.

i bought a pa-1000 today. its a great addition to my kronos. And also the pa-1000 will be my gigging board. The pa-700 is great as well. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[nasosnasos]

Ive been with a tyros for years and i really liked it. Great, great tool but everythings made to sound excellent, waay too excellent. Recently i got this baby Pa and i have to say its THE machine. I feel like im part of a band playing live, and although the style design is at times, not just mediocre, but awful, i freakin LOVE this thing!

[rolinvillalobos]

I want to buy one, that piano is beautiful 😍

[mbvglider]

As someone who mostly uses software and mainly uses keyboards for ROM sampling live with piano, organs, and such, is there any reason why I can't just buy one of these for live performance with rock bands and various cover gigs (always in a band, never solo)? It seems like in some ways, this keyboard is more attractive for me than a lot of non-arranger keyboards out there. I don't plan on using any of the auto-accompaniment, but this has a beautiful touchscreen for quick setting changes, has built-in speakers for practicing without plugging everything in, internal power supply (hate wall warts). Plus, it even looks like it has built-in guitar amp modeling, and I will most likely have gigs this winter where I play both piano and guitar. I can't find all those features in any comparably priced keyboard that's not an arranger keyboard.

Thanks for the video - it helped me a lot in finding the decision between Yamaha and Korg. So I ended/started :-) with Korg. Can you please tell me which sound/style set you used in 5:55..6:31? I don't find it.

I purchased the Korg PA700 in September 2017 and it is a fantastic instrument. It is very deep and easily programmable. I use it almost daily for my business and it has never failed me. It easily outclasses any other arranger in the similar price range and feature set. I am going to buy another one as a backup for my main one, since I use them daily in my business.

I believe that the sounds on this unit are easily better than the Kross 2, and compare easily to the Krome. While it is a different instrument than a dedicated synth like the Krome (or Kronos), it is very deep and I have not experienced any problems getting any sound out of it that I want.

The sequencer is not quite as functional as a dedicated synth (it only stores one MIDI sequence in memory at a time), but all of the editing functions are there.

The touch screen is very fast and clear. Being able the change the screen and menu colors is requested. The sound system is loud and sounds good.

The only thing I recommend for this keyboard is to add a bit of Reverb to what you are doing on it and also to edit the global EQ to make things a bit brighter. Without doing these, the keyboard sounds a bit thin. After adding the Reverb and EQ, it really opens up the board.

One recommendation to Korg is that they add WAV recording functionality to it. While it will record MP3 files up to 320k (I think that is what their 'highest' setting is designated as), going to lossless WAV is a better idea. The WAV recording functionality is available even on the Kross and Kross 2 synths, and they are entry level.

Maybe Korg will also come out with an 88-key version of this unit (like they did with the Havian 30 and the PA588). Having such a model would allow the PA700 (maybe call it the PA788?) would be the centerpiece in my studio and probably many others as well.

Such a stunning musical 🎼 synthesize...

[Kamalhossain-bnul]

Nice korg pa 700 keyboard... Beautiful video..

[AffordaleVideo]

Tony, I appreciate your ability to demo these products! KUDOS... I only wish I was in the UK and if I was I'd certainly purchase from you. One good turn deserves another. Thanks!

[madjazzmike]

Hi- thanks for “ demo, - the baby brother, to “ px/4, seems a great’ board for price etc . Far above “Yamaha” - As A Workstation !, as Korg, has “ REAL” samples of - organs, great drums, lovely sounds, & the tweaking you can produce is above “ any other make of keyboard etc, - & the “ 1000” model is More amazing . Cheers .

[leopoldkuipers]

Great demo. But does it actually have a vocal processor on board? (4:30)

[stephenambrose]

One question I would like to ask. If I played a style say a Santana song and my mate is playing guitar using the effect processor can he change the guitar effects himself mid song using say a MIDI pedal or can the guitar effect change be saved within the style so that you maybe press a variation and it changes. Or what is the best way to do this?

[SIRIL]

Could you please tell the voices used in the introduction orchestral music and the chords

[almarg.martin]

Sir, what is that voice in 4:08, was that built in?

[sue]

I do a lot of stuff from the 70s. Does the PA100 have a wawa guitar. If not, can that sound be sampled in? It ocurrs to me that touch sensitivity would control the wawa effect. How would that even work? I just ordered one and I'm hoping I didn't jump to fast.

[AFGMusicu]

Is Pa4x sets are comparable on pa 700 and how many built in mb does pa700 have

[stevied]

Love the sounds and the drums sound excellent but the only styles I've heard that don't sound like like home-cheeesy backing tracks were on a ketron, although these are an improvement of tyros & genos I think!

[ghkarvir]

Which was the piano sound you used at 1 min 30.secs ... did u use any preset or effects along with it or just standard from piano. It sounded really good
