10 New Converted Styles From Tyros 4/5 and MIDI with MP3 Demo

[♔Chello]

As we can see, PA5X doesn't need to have a flat sound. I believe most of the original styles are flat because they are planned to be played on external amplifier with desired mixing, but to play at home, it's nice to adjust the styles to sound more like Yamahas, which means more reverb...

When I saw some comparison on youtube of Genos and PA5X most people say that Genos sounds better, but to me, is mainly becaise the use more reverb on styles and sounds.

Of course some SA2 are very unique and smooth, but many of the DNC2 of Korg sound more realistic to me while some SA2 sound a bit artificial, although nice to hear.  Both are nice but I don't think I will ever return to Yamaha.

Thanks for a VERY interesting comment about the Pa5X versus the Yamaha.
I absolutely agree with everything you say.

The Pa5X is mixed more neutrally, which makes it easy to mix, and the sound library consists mostly of neutral sounds, while the Yamaha has a significant amount of natural ambience (Genuine) in the sounds themselves, which makes mixing difficult, because the sounds' inherent amount of ambience interferes with effects that are added later.

In my opinion, the Yamaha often has a bit too much reverb, which is very difficult to reduce if desired, while a Korg style can be made absolutely DRY with ease, which is a great advantage for further precise mixing.

I always use the Drum Editor to add Genuine Ambience to drums, and usually remove any artificial reverb if present.

Genos uses artificial reverb in addition, which many people think sounds good, but I am convinced that the Pa5X with Genuine Ambience on drums and artificial reverb on other sounds sounds much more natural.

Of the Yamahas I prefer the 9000 Pro, Tyros 4 and DGX-670, which have a more natural soundstage than other Yamahas.
The 9000 Pro has an open soundstage that even the Pa5X cannot match.


But all in all I will probably never go back to Yamaha, and will soon get my new Grandstage X - KORG FOREVER !
