Korg Pa5X Full voice and style demonstration - 90 minutes live demo 

Those strings sounded so real like a real orchestra playing. If I had the money I would definitely buy this beast. Thanks for the demo. You did a really good job 👍

I've seen more than a few demo's of the PA5X and I keep coming back to yours. Great performances!

Brass and String section are very outstanding. I really love how Korg delivers us the feeling of real sound instruments. Hopefully I can buy PA5X one day soon. Thank you for your wonderful introduction through many sounds and styles of this machine.🎉

Super performance - Greetings from Germany…

This has to be the most enjoyable demo of yours of all that I've watched. Amazing. Great keyboard. Cheers.

Hi Leigh. Despite some of the misgivings about missing functions in the OS I certainly can't fault the fidelity of the sounds. I thought the Strings section was phenomenal. Personally for me the best I've ever heard on any Arranger. A really comprehensive Demo of sounds and some of the Styles. Well done Leigh. Always enjoy your Demonstrations.

Great demo Leigh, the sounds are so realistic, fabulous.

I am Mexican I really like that new Korg keyboard and you are an incredible piano teacher, congratulations, I subscribe to your channel.

What ever faults you can find , the sound if not always a true representation, is rich and powerful, amazing keyboard ❤

I Love this sounds and what a great keyboard , piano, organ swipes., instrument sounds😢.

These pianos sounds are excellent. I can imagine what an accomplished piano player could do with the longer keyboard version

It's a beautiful keyboard, and this is one of the best demos of it I have seen. As always, the art produced is only as good as the artist creating it. I think you did a great job.

Thank you for great demo. 👍 Takes days just to go over sounds. This keaboard truly reins endless possibilities of live and prerecorded performance 👏 Great job.

Absolutely fabulous demonstration of this spectacular instrument.

Hi Leigh. This is the kind of video that sells a product. By the way I just order mine. I have the Korg PA3X and it is a huge difference. Thanks for the amazing video and excellent performance.

This keyboard sounds very natural i feel my Pa3x is good but this is really a whole new level great playing by the way.

I had a PA4X and really liked it, but was never able to get around some of the features. Like making your own styles, and the sequencer. Drove me NUTS! But now, with the new lay out, it looks like those issues are a thing of the past. I'm buying the 76 version. The Fatar keybed is SO GREAT, it really allows you to play organ swipes and piano runs with ease.

Great demo of Cinematic and Ballroom styles but few others, I would like to hear how it handles other Genres such as funk, soul, R&B, blues, Country and modern Pop

Thanks for the demo. It showcases nicely what you can achieve with this beast of a machine. The quality is outstanding. The arranger features and ability to knock out a quick tune is demonstrated well. I hope the sequencer is more intuitive than that on the Genos 🙂

Thanks for the demo. The sounds of the Pa5x are truly fantastic. In my opinion now Korg has to work more on the quality of the styles.

What can i say , beautiful - beautiful , what a great musician !! together with the mighty Korg Pa5x . Many thanks for it. Regards.

I have a PA-800. I wanted the PA4X, but I am drooling over this in all the demos and tutorials I've seen so far. What an amazing instrument. The funny thing is, this is only $100 USD more than the PA4X-76 Oriental. Amazing deal, and it's STILL less than the Genos!

Great video. I know the push now is to the Genos 2 but having been able to try both, I prefer the Korg. Lot of great sounds and feature on the Genos 2 but I just could not get past what was to me, a really cheap feel to the keyboard. The sounds out of the box seem better on the Genos 2 but with tweaking the Korg can match in most categories. The guitar sounds on the Genos 2 are some of the best I have heard. Both are great!

What a fantastic keyboard! And awesome performance too of course!

Well done Leigh thank you for an excellent demo a real pleasure to listen to excellent sound quality as normal and my new favourite keyboard🤭

Many Thanks Leigh, This keyboard from KORG is the flagship today; the Piano sounds, togheter with the semi-weighted, longer Fingers and touch response will make this Pa-5X from Korg very hard to beat, for many years to come. Best Regards from Egypt.

Very well done I love the no talking that’s a stroke of genious. Thank please do more just like this playing all kinds of songs.

Great job! Sounds so fun to play. I’m a saxophonist and I see that still nobody can reproduce a decent sax sound. I wonder if anyone will ever crack that.

Your playing is so great Leigh !! Hats off to you !!

Wow!! Leigh that was wonderful. I have had a Tyros 5 and currently a Genos. Peter Baartmans sold me on the Genos. Me and my son, then aged 10, had a delightful evening with Yamaha, in Sheffield. You, Leigh, have just about sold me on the Korg. Fantastic playing! Many thanks for your efforts.

Great step forward by KORG

The sound on the korg pax5 in my opinion sound real , better than the one of the yamaha genos 2 . I was blow away by how insane the korg pax5 sound

Am Ende der Ballade , was Hammer klingt , finde ich den Saxophonklang gigantisch. 😍

Beautiful playing and a great demo-thanks. 👍

Hi Leigh I find this keyboard Arranger Workstation has many heavenly voices. So far I am really enjoying your demonstration. The keyboard is truly amazing I think. Thank you sir. It can be totally dramatic and then very light and airy. AMAZING!

What a wonderful demo. This really show cases the power of this arranger. I'm thoroughly impressed with your playing and the sounds coming out of this little guy. Thanks for doing this.

Muy buena demostración y excelente músico, con conceptos orquestales muy formados. Un gran maestro, lo felicito. Saludos

this video is now my personal theme music. bravo maestro! 🫠

Excellent review! (and musical execution). This will be my next keyboard.

Wonderful instrument, wonderful demo.

amazing instrument! I really think that this will become the serious gamechanger for the Genos...although that too is a great instrument, but same as the PA4 became the best.... they did it again!

Don't forget to watch our other 2 videos of the Korg Pa5X on our channel. One features the control section and the other shows the dual style controllers.

❤Love it , beautifully Playing, sound’s a tremendous., I like the Kong Pa 5X so much,I will say it is hard to leave these sounds…

Voices & styles are fabulous .. very Hi-fi...❤

Thank you for a lovely demo enjoyed.

A wonderful box of sounds!

Hey there Leigh --- tiny note here.. you may want to turn up your microphone when you go to talk.. Other than that, it was one awesomely fantastic video.. and here I am planning on at some point getting a Yamaha PSR-SX900, and at another point acquiring a pedal steel guitar to go along with it.... The Korg PA5X has blown me away, bro! This newfangled flagship of one of the ultimate sweet keyboards is definitely goin' onto my wish-list .. Thats for darn sure! Yeah!!😃

Hi Leigh , I’m sure your excited about the new Genos 2 arriving I look forward to your first impressions asap. I want fully weighted keyboard this time so it’s fingers crossed, Otherwise it’s pa5x ! As a Genos fan I guess you expect the new Genos 2 to totally blow the Korg away .

Parabéns amigo...Vou continuar sonhando pelo menos tenho esse direito kkk

Fantastico wonderful 👍👍👍👍👍👍 top top top. Very nice💙 gooooooooodd

Just One word “WOW”

Great playing and demo Leigh. Nice to hear so many voices on their own. Mines on order, maybe the end of the month!

Wow thanks can't believe it took so much to find this

Love From India Big Fan

++++++ Tout d’abord, un grand bravo à l’excellent musicien que vous êtes. +++++++ . Ensuite très très très bon clavier que j’ai eu l’occasion d’essayer et que je vais acquérir prochainement ( j’ai toujours eu des Yamaha dont le dernier était un Tyros5). Le clavier a un son naturel beaucoup plus dynamique et réel que Yamaha actuellement.

You are such a phenomenal player. 🎼 wonderful sounding keyboard👌 so musical.

Lovely job Leigh formed great background music for me. I have been looking at excuses to get this or the Nautilus although mainly playing piano right now. I tend towards free ranging music on Nautilus despite the quality of the seemingly not too intrusive styles. But tempting nevertheless

I feel like buying and playing it but can only dream of it....

What a wonderful demo

Thanks a lot I flew with you, while you were playing

Its so amazing and great. Have my thanks with my congratulations.

It sounds really good Leigh thank you. I believe the Pa5X comes with a sound bar. Are you using that or are you using your Yamaha HS8 speakers?

apart from great sounds and styles biggest step forward in my opinion is user interface - much simpler user friendly and intuitive compare to older versions of PA. its great sounding out of the box without digging in menus for customization's like it was in the past.. and with that is real Genos killer which played great out of the box

Some very nice stiles and instruments sounds, sad that they didn't include the typical quick backing recording - editing.

Complimenti pentru munca depusă da este o orga buna

That piano sound even rivals the Keyscape one!

Such great feedback about Pa5X - Let us know what you think!

❤️😘🌷🎹🎼👌👍 congratulations!! Great beautiful korg pa 5x thank you!!!

Piano very quality 👌

similar styling to yamaha and where is the balance control .I would like yamaha ensemble rather than the same pa4x ensemble

I could not find the bagpipes on my brand new pa5x, did you download a new sound list ?

It's interesting to hear that the spanish guitar sound...sounds just like the one I modified from my Triton Extreme 88 years ago. Happy, shocked or not I don't know how to feel about that.

thank you amazing demo Well done

Y Love 5x

Great. One thing i mist was de guitar shadow sound. Only accoustic guitars and the Electric distortions.

The Sounds of the instruments have been developed dramatically from KORG in this Pa-5X Unit. Also, many new Styles and Accompany Chords have been added. With the Semi-weighted Keys; and after touch facility; the playing of this unit will be much more pleasant, with realistic live sounds, than playing the YAMAHA Genos.

хорошо бы приблизить картинку, чтобы читался дисплей синтезатора.

God wish it didnt look so much like a Roland and Yamaha Had a baby! But great job Korg you will always be #1

There is a Guitar selection that you made and I could almost hear Classical Jazz. It would have been so cool had you played that from your repertoire. With you using F as your Dhrone it was quite realistic and better than Yamaha for the bagpipes.

Show!! Parabéns!!

Really nice. Thanks.

Fantastic Leigh and thats me subscribed. It's an amazing keyboard I have the sx900 at the min

Love my Korgs, always have - many years. I still don't hear an improvement on the acoustic pianos (although raved about my the presenter). Any thoughts here on my comment? I would like to hear one live.

Very good review. Thanks.

Hello Leigh, great demonstration. Are you by purporse playing the most songs in C major to keep it more easier to learn the songs and play them?

Great show

Would you do a video comparing this to Yamaha Genos 2. I can see you prefer Genos but being classically trained piano player I can’t get past the fact that Korg do the 88 fully weighted keyboard. Why don’t Yamaha do the same?

Parabéns cara pelo seu trabalho 👏👏👏

I have a question.... You can split the keyboard in several places. For example LOWER from C1 to C2, UPPER 3 from C3 to C4, UPPER 2 from D4 to F5 etc ?

Thanks for the wonderful demonstrations. Awesome. Does it have guitar strumming patterns and phrases built in?

🔻 Estimated converting time from .SET to .KST: 2 hours (500Mb set) 🔻 Loading same set on keyboard: 20-25 min 🔻 Pads of screen should not act as a play button. When clicking on a pad on the screen, it should open the menu for you to select another pad like on every previous model. 🔻 Fill-in button after half of measure with your style on will play only your drums from the fill-in while the variation drums and accompaniments play altogether. 🔻 Home Screen needs mixer at all times. For live performers, we need levels of our drums, bass, accompaniments, lower and uppers on the screen the whole time. We don’t have the time to look and switch pages for this. 🔻 If your style is on and you turn on a pad, if the pad is more than two measures long, it will only start on the second measure. Regardless of when you click the pad. 🔻 When selecting a different pad, after clicking 4 buttons and pages to get there, it takes you to factory pads and not where the original pad is on your user. When you do select another pad, the volume automatically goes to 100 and the FX send automatically goes to 40. 🔻 Selecting a style is not fast enough. After you click on a new style while playing, it will blink a few times before it selects it. Most of the time, this is way over a measure and a half of the current style playing. This is not ideal for live performers. 🔻 There is no way for you to select the second style and have it in sync with the first one even with tempo lock on. It’s humanly impossible. Your tempo will match but you cannot physically hit the second style perfectly on beat with your first one. 🔻 If your pads are on while your style is playing, as soon as you select a new style, your pads turn off instantly. Way before the new style even comes on. 🔻 Intro 1 is not supposed to play your lowers when selected. Your lowers should work for intro 2 but not for intro 1. There’s a reason for that. Some peoples intro 1 plays a melody or plays different chords. 🔻 We should have a preference of not having the lists of styles, sounds and pads be in alphabetical order. People had these organized on the 4x into separate folders and pages. 🔻 If you are used to having a certain sound or drum kit you like on (user 1, page 3), you know it’s there 100% and you learn it that way. Not anymore, because everything is alphabetical order, things will move every time you add a new sound, pad, style, song, drumkit, etc. complete disaster if you know where your things are. 🔻 Acc. 3 freezes on the first chord you hit instead of chords you are playing. Same goes with some bass on styles. I’m playing a different chord progression, acc. 3 is stuck on the first chord without changing. 🔻 Some styles I made have drums or percussion that is detuned using my pitch bender. It will not play the correct detune until the second measure of the style. 🔻 If you are using quarter scale, this is not the keyboard for you. It will switch on and off at random. It’s almost like every few seconds it will play your quarter tone and then go back to equal scale. Non stop. 🔻 When making a new style, the menus for quantize, delete, velocity, cut and others are missing. 🔻 The bass should not be the first in order. Every keyboard since day 1 has it as follows….drums-percs-bass-acc1-acc2-acc3-acc4-acc5. 🔻 We need an option to customize your own keyboard. There are photos for every sound and drumkit next to it. You cannot select the photo you want when saving a new sound or style. 🔻 Website says we have 4GB and 8GB compressed but the keyboard shows we have 2.5GB. Not even close to what Korg is advertising on their website. If you think your going to have 4GB of space when buying this keyboard, you’re going to be extremely upset to find out you have only 2.5GB of space. 🔻 There should be an option on the main Home Screen from the drop menu to show only one style instead of two. Not everyone will be using two styles since they can’t even sync them perfectly anyways. It would be nice if you hold shift and play on the style for it to sync with tempo and for it to start perfectly with the current style playing. 🔻 When playing a pad that is a loop, a slice from the loops starts when you press the button. It doesn’t start where the loop should resume naturally. 🔻 If you start with a pad that is a loop (without the style being on) and then turn on the style after, the pad will be off from the style by milliseconds. Your ear will catch it and you know it’s not perfectly on. 🔻 When you hit your fill button, the variation will not go to the first measure, regardless if you have it set to start on the first measure. 🔻 If you have a pad that is an accompaniment or guitar, it turns off when you turn off the memory for your chords. 🔻 There is no Kaoss. 🔻 There is no option for midi to style converter. 🔻 Locked sets will not work nor convert. 🔻 If you have a folder with only styles, you will not be able to open it and view any of them. It must be a set folder for it to convert to the the KST format. 🔻 No support for EC-5. 🔻 For existing style, cv length cannot be changed. 🔻 There are factory styles that are still on here from the pa80. The house, dance, techno are not from this century. They are indeed what they say they are but not anywhere near the year 2022. So when you select dance, it is dance, just not this year. More like 1998 dance. 🔻 The screen, when all the way down, is not flush with the rest of the keyboard. It is slightly off and sits a little higher. 🔻 On the 4x, we were given a limit of approx. 15000 samples for 1.5GB of space. You are now given approx. 30000 for 2.5GB of space. Even though Korg advertises it as it giving you 4GB. 🔻 Korg needs to stop changing the format of extensions for styles, sets, sounds, etc. The person buying the pa5x is 99.9% coming from a 4x. And that person also came from a 3x and so on. It was already annoying enough that you couldn’t load 3x sets on the 4x without loading the folders separately. Now it’s just a jumble mess for people trying to switch over to a keyboard they thought they were familiar with.

Thanks

Bravo teşekkürler üstad

Thanks for the video demo. Do you think it sounds better as compared to Pa4x?

Nicely hand good job

Amazing...❤

I have always had Korg , especially pa series but I could say with that Korg is expressing his death , yamaha and ketron the best

Hi Leigh, I really enjoyed your demonstration of the huge range of options available on the Pa5X. As a new owner, I would like to get to know the basics...do you do private tuition, over Zoom? Regards Tony

Are the orchestral sounds better than the 4x? They sound pretty amazing, but I might just be comparing to my 3x Thanks for the demo 👍😎😀

I am waiting to test this new instrument. I am a composer and I use a lot of strings horns etc. For example I want to hear the Henry Mancini or Jobim sounds and rhythms. Things that I obtain from my Yamaha GENOS. So I will test as soon as possible the Pa5x hoping to obtain what I want. In this case I will buy this second arranger.
