Korg today introduced three new Arranger models: the Pa700, Pa700 ORT and the Pa1000.
The Pa700/Pa700 ORT expands upon the best-selling Pa600 and Pa4X and provides a wide variety of sounds, as well as a new range of Styles covering music genres from all over the world. Equipped with over four times the PCM memory of previous Korg Arrangers, the Pa700 also provides 256 MB of user PCM memory.

I miss Tatsuya.
They’ve always released products like this even with Tatsuya.
it’s funny how different sides of the company are staggeringly different even down the promo being great on one and horrible on the other heh
i want an electribe keys w/ decent song mode (cue list would be okay) and at least 64-part polyphony.
Wow. Back to the future design
I have it from a reliable source that these arranger keyboards are a huge market for KORG. And they’re definitely fun to play – but I’ve always felt as though it’s cheating somewhat vs playing and creating something from scratch yourself.
The pa600 keybed was horrible. So how is the PA1000 keybed? I have heard. But not enough. That it was a good feeling keybed.
Please You guys that actually demo it. Tell us about the Keybed and Compare it
As for Feeling like You are cheating. Well As a songwriter. I could not live without an arranger. Can not get all those people over. In a timely manner.
And They sometimes Go down the wrong road. So It is better to have one. I replace certain parts . With live. When I can.
If I could still play out. Well there really is only Duo and single Work that is steady. So Yes I would use one live. The live playing scene is much changed to less. And If You want to work. Buy an arranger. And a korg at that. Nobody compares. Yamaha wants almost 6k for their top. And it can not do What a PA4X or PA1000 can do. Plus it is complicated comparatively.
