Yamaha Tyros 5 VS Korg PA3x

We have done a video showing just a few comparative sounds and styles on the Yamaha tyros 5 keyboard and the Korg PA3x keyboard. We have chosen the closest selection of sounds and styles in order to make a fair comparison of the products. We have not shown the advantages of each products unique features as this would be worth doing in another video. Comments welcomed!

I only compare not on this video, but with the two machines in my hands and listening it directly with my hears. These are 2 great enternainer keyboards. I wish them luck!

i've always had Yamaha (save my first casio ;) ) And I'd probable call myself a tyros fan boy.

So for this comparison, It was obvious they were alternating between tyros and korg, so I scrolled down so I could only see the times slider, and started at 3:48

marking down my favourite sounds.... he Korg surprisingly came out on top.. really shocked tbh...

I've never invested any time into comparing the two, and must say im thinking of doing just that before splashing out on a t5...

I use Korg, Yamaha and Nord keyboards and between these 2, the sounds are really high quality. Both workstations have it's positive and negative attributes.

I'm a song writer. I don't have a band. I can tell you all arrangers have pros and cons. I have a PA3x, Motif XS6, MOXF6, Roland BK-9. All for a reason.

The best thing is to have both if you can afford it! I entertained on a Korg PA 500 for a year at a restaurant bar in Palm Springs California and had a great crowd! Now I have a Tyros4 and a Korg Microarranger (Light weight to carry for an instant gig) and a Casio Privia and many times use all three together as you can see on many of my videos on here. The sound also depends on your speaker system which is just as important as the keyboard. Check them out!

Both Keys got their highlights: Tyros got SuperArticulation!2 and nice guitar, PA3X got TC Helicon VoiceLive II and punchy drums.

I used to play a Tyros 4 together with PA600 to compare the pro´s and con´s of both instruments. Depending on which brand you prefer you will always find downsides in the "opponent´s" instruments.

As I said, it´s the personal taste of each other which sound is better. I like Tyros for Pianos, Guitars and styles. KORG for E-Pianos, Organs and Drums.

So please stop calling one of those instruments "Crap" or "sh*t" ;-)

Korg sounds amazing but Yamaha sounds real!

[PufiKwiek]

Korg !!! Korg have good deeep voice and style  i like thet

[MFBlueFly]

You can't really compare on the tube, I heard the Tyros last Saturday and had a go on it and it is an amazing instrument with amazing sounds, I haven't had chance to have a go on a Korg but I bet it's also amazing, you just have to go with what you prefer but don't judge it on here, go and see them in the flesh, it's much better that way. Just my pennies worth. :o)

[JokerMansBeats]

ive been debating on which one to buy...this video showed me what i needed to hear. guess I'll be picking up a Tyros! it just sounds so much more lush, crisp, both thick & bright at the same time & sounds so much more realistic. korg pax on the other hand just sounds so flat & thin. i was leaning towards the pax but after hearing the difference side by side. think I'll be picking up a tyros now. Thanks for the upload

[fredvillaume]

Korg PA3X is the best !! Despite the T5 sounds good, its price is nonsense, especially as it can't synchronize audio link pad with the style tempo. Crazy price for an incomplete keyboard !!

[LiFeeIsSMusicC]

Tyros 5 is the best immitator by far. XD Just listen to those guitar, organ and jazzy sounds... Just Incomparable!

[bmhs]

Cant help it.. I like the Korg, it sounds better in my ears.
Nice camparison!!!

[idaveit]

Hi, at 0:22 you change the piano sound to "Mellow Pad". I have a Tyros 5 but I can't find that sound. Can you tell me where to find it? Thank you!

[badrinarayanr]

Aaaand the Tyros wins hands down! And I can't say that isn't because the Tyros looks so amazing compared to the Korg <3

[dimitrischeilakis]

Lol guys it seems that you do not know anything about the korg's editability and effects. You can edit all those sounds and styles to sound way more realistic than those of the Tyros. It's just that when it comes to factory settings out of the box, korg has always a disadvantage in every synth or arranger out there (lazy programming I would guess), so everything needs a little tweaking. Thank god, the korg effects section is the best than any hardware brand out there, and in my opinion: the factory setups are for losers - want sound? Get your ass down and make it (Ok I am not suggesting that you have to tweak every factory aspect though, but the best players play with their own setups, presets, tweaked sounds and styles).  :)

[robertroesler]

I have a Yamaha Moxf. Both of these keyboards sounded very good. Yes, they were different sounding. I didn't think either was significantly better but the Korg was slightly more realistic. I would base my decision on the other features and price.

[renoruberts]

KORG Pa3X, love it very much for its brighter sound
