    Korg PA3X 76 Pre-Owned

    Checked by our in-house experts this Pa3x-76 is great condition with music rest and 12 months warranty. Get free bonus software and free mainland UK delivery. Call us if you would like photographs.

    The appearance of the Korg PA3x is smart. The buttons are laid out in neat functional rows. The sliders are exactly right, easy to manipulate with a long draw for precise control. The screen stays the same size as previous models although is quicker to react.. The right hand cheek of the keyboard is millimetres in width, the left hand side accommodates the joystick and is just right. There is no space wasted but everything has a button and its laid out very well.

    This is going to be a working keyboard for many musicians so build quality is important. The Korg PA3x is extremely solid, it has a metal case that doesn`t flex and you feel confident that its well up to the job for a gigging musician. Its physical dimensions are really comfortable for carrying and manipulating.

    Comparisons to the Tyros4 are difficult because it feels that the Korg PA3x has been developed for its own sake rather than to compete and I think this is good. Although Korg sell far fewer keyboards than Yamaha in this country, abroad and particularly the Mediterranean it`s a completely different story.

    The voicing of the PA3x is a combination of tried and tested voices with brand new super responsive voices. The strings are world beaters and the Pianos are much improved . It was difficult to judge if the voices were better than Tyros because it was a noisy room the 2 were not side by side.

    The styles have been improved over the PA2X models and because Korg work in such a different way to Yamaha they feel completely different, they have more of a live feel. You`ll find yourself liking Yamaha`s styles or Korg`s styles.

    Ease of use on keyboards is very important, if its easy youll use it if its not you wont. It`s the old video recorder scenario. Yamahas Music finder is massively better than Korg. One touch settings are personal taste. The Korg has a huge array of pre programmed registrations. I could spend all day doing comparisons and I think the simple point is that Korg have listened, caught up, but again they`ve done it their own way.

    The PA3x records in MP3 format or midi format, it has the TC helicon voice processor, it can load and create sample data with plenty of on-board memory, these new features are easy to use and included in the price.

    The feature that did it for me above everything else is so simple and so useful it make`s me want to buy the Korg. Its a looper , it has its own buttons . Its like the ethereal rhythms on the Yamaha, cats eyes in the middle of the road, ground breaking but simple. I play guitar and piano to a medium standard and I love boogie and blues. I can sit for hours playing 12 bar blues on either and here I can practice both.

    Top end keyboards are all brilliant and developments become harder and harder to make. Quality ease of use and new technologies all play their part. So when we get to look at a new product were just a little sceptical of how much better it can be. The Korg PA3x updates it`s predecessor in every way, it gives retailers something to shout about. We can say to all of our customers ` You have to try the New Korg PA3x it`s fantastic`.

    As an owner of the PA3x and also a member of staff I can see that it is easy to underestimate the benefits of the PA3x versus the lower priced models such as the PA3x LE and the PA900 , remember there is always a significant benefit to going for the top of the range or flagship model , sometimes these benefits are not always obvious, its easy to see the physical differences when it comes to physical sliders (76), sturdy metallic case and motorised tilted screen, but more than that the difference is in the sound, and put simply the same sounds with the same names just sound better, yes the lower priced models do sound similar but there is a fundamental difference in quality, in guitar terms you could liken it to a fender Mexican versus a USA fender , its a bigger fuller tone and thats what you pay for at the end of the day - quality !
