WHAT I LIKE AND DISLIKE ABOUT PA5X

PROS:
* It has the best layout ever made
* The effects are the best I've seen and are easier to modify than ever
* The touch screen is the best of all tried so far
* All buttons are very precise
* The sound quality can be as good as Kronos or better with the right edit


CONS:
* The X-Fader is very imprecise and very difficult to maneuver
* The grooved surface of the chassis should never have been chosen, because it is a nightmare to keep clean
* Most of the lamps have defects in the form of black lines/spots on the button illumination
* A bug in the Drum Editor results in repeatedly needing to exit and reenter, because everything locks up when changing values
* Finalizer's volume meter is not truthful - it shows 2dB too little, but in many cases much more
* Limiter cannot be used on styles that have been converted from other manufacturers, and the same applies to styles created from midi - because the sound is heavily distorted
* Styles that have a high dynamic level with many active sounds sound compressed
* The keybed is better than on previous models, but could have been better
* A top model should have impact sensitivity in the left part of the key section. Certain Yamaha models have a certain amount of impact sensitivity, such as the Tyros4 and A-3000. Both OASYS, Kronos and Nautilus have full impact sensitivity, while the Pa5X has none at all..?
* The joystick is good, but not as good as e.g. Kronos
