KorgPA600 61-Key Professional Arranger with Color Touchview Display

Outstanding new "little brother" of the Kord PA3X professional arranger. Exceeded all my expectations. This keyboard is an upgrade from a Korg PA500 professional arranger. Now that I'm pushing 70 years old my keyboard chops are not what they used to be. Korg's PA series are great all-in-one music makers. You can control a virtual band or orchestra in the left hand with solo/duet/trio instrumentation in the right hand. Awesome!Edit: 5/25/2014 Now that I've had this arranger for several months I'd like to add the following. There has been great support for this machine from the Korg community. My PA now sports many new styles from the PA3x and PA3X Musikant (German Styles). I've added an awesome Steinway Grand Piano as well as wonderfully sampled Andean flutes and Andean folk styles. I've worked out how to add any Hammond organ registration I want with the sound editor. I've also discovered how easy it is to convert Yamaha styles and pads to my PA600. A 3rd party developer has just released the Korg PA Manager. This new PA Manager makes it easy to manage and organize your PA (all models) sets. To top it off, the good folks over at Dynamix now have dozens of new sample packs for Korg, including the PA600.

KORG PA600 is an incredible arranger indeed. Very Professionally equipped, and equipment.Tons of features that cannot fit on a display ad. Well built and thought of. Studio quality sound production for professionals alike. My extensive research proved rewarding after purchasing this keyboard.

Nice keyboard. arrived in better than expected condition and on time. Many instrumenttal sounds are excellent.I found some arranger patterns a little sterile sounding and keyboardish, especially the rock patterns.hence the 4 instead of five stars. Also it arrived with no user manual and all though its available free online alot of time and ink was needed to print a 200plus page document. The major drawback is no midi in/out/through. Advertised as an "stage performance" keyboard this is a big limitation. Can't connect modules, harmonizers or other keyboards.

My initial thoughts, upon receiving the Korg PA900 was --- over-rated! Didn't initially like the sounds, as they seemed too electronic; not acoustic enough. Within days of exploring the keyboard, adding 3rd-party styles and becoming better acquainted with onboard styles, sounds, etc., I started singing a different tune! Liked it, and now love it!I evolved from a Korg MicroArranger, which I loved from the git go! Easy transition from one Korg model to the PA900. Also, own other reputable brands, but find the Korg sound more to my preference, i.e. Jazz, Bossa, Samba, Bachata, and even World styles.If there is a downside, it might be that this computerized unit takes relatively long time to boot up. Plan for it, and there's nothing to complain about.VM

I ordered the PA600 in April after waiting a week for it to arrive, I turn it on and notice the display is flickingI touch the display and the normal screen appears (I get to play around with it a little)Eventually the display stopped working altogetherI send the unit back, wait a week for the return to get there, and another day to get my refundI decide to give the PA600 another chanceI order one, wait a week for it to arrive, I turn it on and NO DISPLAY!Now it’s June I have to wait a week or more to get a refundI can tell you one thing I won’t be buying a KORGWhen the first one was still working, I was not impressed with it to begin with, if I was trying it out in a store I would not have bought itI will probably buy the Yamaha PSR-S750

Great sounds and easy to understand. Really enjoyed trying this keybaord. Will need to return it as there is only one audio output amd when i connect it to the soundboard i lose the ability to use the internal speakers as a monitor. I would need to buy a small mixer and a monitor to lug with me. Ridiculous when the keyboard has speakers built in but they arent usable when connected to sound system.

Great sound!

i love it pa600qt aalamey great keyboard
