It seems I was wrong - this must be real - I do not think it is possible to cheat so much with Photoshop ...
This video is guaranteed to get many visits.

Here are some of the ones I noticed:

* First arranger from Korg with 88 keys - there is only DGX-670 from Yamaha on the market other than this.
* First arranger in the world that can play 2 styles at the same time, and mix these together.
* First arranger in the world with pad panel.
* Updated to USB 3.0
* HDMI connection
* 8 GB RAM (Goodbye, Genos)
* They have taken back MAXX Audio
* Separate button panel for DSP that is adjusted with the sliders, which is far preferable to rotary potentiometers.

One thing are worth paying special attention to:
* The update to USB 3.0 entails a significant upgrade of the entire system's maximum capacity.

I will watch the Korg UK Webinar video which may give more details. But for me personally what have at the moment will keep me more than enough occupied. But I will continue  to provide support for all arrangers new and old.

With a price of 5000 Euro, Korg will lose many potential buyers; me included.
I'm going to have Kronos.

With the knowledge I now have, I know that incredible results can be achieved with Cubase - which keyboard is used is of less importance.
I can do the same as possible with Pa5X and Genos with Cubase - and more.

Who knows Korg might surprise us with a major software update for Pa700 / Pa1000 owners they will still want to sell entry and mid range models.

Started off amazing  but korgs voicing was always good. But not enough style examples to really convince me whether they have moved on.
Secondly the operating system have they made it more simplified for the age group that buys these keyboards.
Finally for now £5000 euros just doesn`t sit well in todays market place.

Lets see if the next demo blows my sox off like the genos did initially

I would be very surprised if Korg delivers an update for previous Pa models.
Historical facts are against them - they updated Pa2X very well, but since then they have not followed up repeated requests from users.

I especially remember Pa3X - in 2014 a large group of users organized themselves, and submitted a joint request for desired (and necessary) updates.
Nothing has happened to date, and Korg lost many of their customers with this episode.

Korg and Ketron are notorious for their ignorance of users' wishes, and are the worst in the industry.
Ketron, however, is even worse than Korg.

Korg has taken a formidable chance by launching Pa5X, the time we live in considering.
They have had serious financial problems for a long time, and it has long been whispered that the arranger department may have to be wound up.

The development of Pa5X has undoubtedly cost enormous resources, and it is questionable whether they will be able to sell many fast enough to cover the cost in time.

I would argue that the Pa5X is more advanced than the Genos, and more user-friendly.
And - true to my words - DSP and how these effects can be customized; the shirt blows by Genos' way of doing this - via the screen.
Sliding potentiometers are by far the best for this.

Korg`s big problem will probably be to sell many enough fast enough, because the price is too high.
