"I cann't explain that there is something i writen will make some attraction people who hear it they will be automaticaly attract"

Feature:
about the accessories a friend of me told me the external speakers and stands and mics which were included this product sent by his brother so i just heard but I just see the stand and the external speakers. It's my dream to have it and play it.

Quality:
In my oppinion it is the better than the best product ever I seen before. the grace of this product on it's own stand it was looking very good.

Value:
The price of this product is .... in my point of view the thing which you like it does not have price. but as for as price is concerned this is a valuable price of this product.but unfortunately I belongs to a poor family and I am not able to get this product. I love to play it and be a member of a musical club but I don't have such kind of instrument. that is why I sent alot of emails to your deffernt departments but I didn't hear from them.

Desirability:
It is the keybord having the quality of sound and if a professional person play a triditional instrumental song on it , it effects from heart. the person who was playing this product so he was playing a Pashto song (instrumental) it is effective assurance of 100 %

Sound:
This is the best keyboard I have ever enjoyed to listning the music and eggect of the keys on my heart, a person was playing it in my city quetta he is the rich person he can efford this he was playing this keyboard and i went his club to get trained from him , I was holding my keyboard PSR320 (YAMAHA), so the person who is the owner of the club he was playing a song on PA10Xpro keyboard I liked this song very much and the sound qulity effects on my heart.But after he completed I told him to make me a student of this club so he discouraged me and told me to go and hold your yamaha320 on the road, I was very unhappy. This was the story of listning this keyboard.

Support:
I requested more than 10 times to send me this product as a gift. but the even didn't reply to me. if it is not possible to give somthing to someone as a gift or free of cost to that kind of persone who is unfimilier from you , you don't know that person, but you have a choice to tell him we cann't send even one piece as a gift i mean free.

Overall:
Well it is the best keyboar i submitted above about it's features and it's sounds, one thing is very clear that there is the demand of this keyboar who will have this one he will be a member of any club of music and there he will be the owner of this product so he will be more respectable, it is very valuable . as now what are the requirments your this product is providing the same requiremnt even more than enough. that's why I insist to have it from your company as a gift and free of cost with its all accessories. Bur pleas if it is not possible send me an email I will make my mind that it is not possible for you people. My id is abdulwahid1977@yahoo.com your yes or no both are respectable for me.

"The Silver Beast from Korg"

Sound:
A brief review If I were to compare it to the PA80, I'd probably talk negatively about most things in the PA80, so I'll try to refrain from doing so, but for those of you who has described/understood this keyboard as being a PA80 on testosterone, ....boy you are so wrong. To you arranger-guys out there, who have had the pleasure to own or try the PA80, I'll agree that some of the styles are similar, even identical to the PA80, but there is so much more to the PA1X-Pro. The voices are so much sweeter, and the styles sound as if they spent several months just to prepare and tweak these. The "songbook-concept" is fantastic, at least for those of us who like to sit at home with a glass of nice red-wine, and just play around with the keyboard. The names in the song-book are "bogus" but easy to edit into one�s own liking. Beware that all entries in the song-book are defined as the C-key, but can also be edited easily. The live-performance of this keyboard in a solo- duo- or even trio-performance is beyond my dreams. The screen could have been better as it could very well have been more tilted, giving the operator a better, crisper view instead of having to "mount" the keyboard, or climb on top of it; however when you spend a few days fooling around with it, you will soon discover that the layout of the screen, with all of the menus, sub-menus and tweaks is so simple that navigating around in it�s depths is easy. The choir-simulator is (to me) outstanding. At the touch of a button you can sing alone or along, with or without effects and voice-expansion, and you can add up to 4 voices-choir, which all can be tweaked to fit pitch, volume and vibrato...one by one. The PA1X-Pro is also equipped with pre-defined choir-settings, some good and some bad, but fun. And the sheer sleek design of it portrays nothing less than elegance; well if I ever was to get a lover, this would be it! Gaining access to the compartment hiding the RAM-chips, the ROM-chips and the hard-drive (15Mb) is easy. You need to unscrew 7 philips-head screws, and the lid is (like the rest of this baby�s body) made of aluminum, and it is hinged so it's very easy to upgrade this board. AND THE SWITCHES LIGHT UP IN SHARP BLUE!!! A few drawbacks Since I am concentrating to give an impartial review, I have to mention the drawbacks that I have found so far. The Audio-In diode, that supplies information about the input-gain of the microphone (or other inputs) keeps flashing from time to time, even though nothing is connected to the keyboard. Even when the keyboard is idle, this little thing keeps flashing, as to remind me that once I plug in the microphone, I have more grand surprises in store. The manual increase/decrease buttons next to the tempo-dial are not functioning properly. That is the +button. I will have to use more than normal pressure to get a response from this one. However this I trust to be a �monday-switch� in my keyboard alone, ad therefore not an actual drawback in the PA1X-Pro-. The RAM-chip used for sampling-features is reported to be 977.250 bytes, which is about 15Mb less than it's supposed to. This problem is not addressed in the manual, but I do believe that this is one of the few bugs from within the OS, and I expect this to be corrected at the release of a newer version. When playing real-time with full arranger, I've discovered that the drums and the accompaniment decreased in volume abruptly, and when I hit the fill-in, it restores to normal. This has only happened twice, so I'll wait and see if this is going to be a problem. The base-track has happened to decrease the volume for no reason, and I have yet to find an explanation as to why. Both these incidents have been reported to Korg � Italy and I trust them to be a thing of the past at the release of the new OS. I was looking forward to the semi-weighed keys, however I don't think I've tried these types before, so I didn't know what to expect. What I got was all-plastic-keys with one extra spring mounted in the bearing, giving the sense of just having a bit tighter keys. Well, like I said, I did not know what to expect so....maybe it's just me. If you think the start-up time of the PA80 grew long, wait until you try the PA1X-Pro. It takes forever to start, and if you were to edit e.g. a wave-file, the time from when you hit the record-button to the point where it's actually ready to record is looong. I would think that a keyboard this size, price and class would have a processor that could handle a bundle of data a bit faster...? Well, all in all I won't complain...yet! This is (and I'll say it in clear, clean words) the most amazing piece of machinery I've ever had the pleasure of operating... If I were to "throw the dice" and rate this keyboard, this would be the result: Looks 6 User friendly 5 Ease to operate 5 Voices 6+ Reliability 5 Over all 5.4
