KORG Pa5X Ultimate Quickstart TUTORIAL 

Excellent vid Woody. Please keep more PA-5X videos coming

I have to admit that sounds like a lot of fun.

Great video! I wish I had this when I first bought my Pa5x months ago! One tip on the tempo adjustment, the “dial” is defaulted to adjusting tempo when choosing a new style. I look forward to more Pa5x videos! Thanks Woody!

This Korg PA 5X is Definitely the Best Arranger Keyboard in the World

I'm planning to buy a pa5x soon. This starter guide was really helpful. Thanks!

Great introduction to this amazing (but intimidating) keyboard. Thank you so much Woody, you explain things very clearly.... it's very helpful indeed.🤠

Just drooling here 😅 thanks for sharing Woody. 👍

Definitely interested in getting one! Next month at the earliest. I love the way you explain keyboard features, the Korg Pa5X looks fun too.👍

Thank you for such a professional video. My Pa5x arrives next week to replace my Pa4x. Your video is a great intro into the world of the Pa keyboards.

Brilliant Demo 🤓

Thanks Woody.

Fantastic easy to follow tutorial if you are thinking of getting one of these arrangers.🎹

Great instrument!

Cool! I was curious enough from all your arranger videos to get a Korg EK-50L, which is obviously much simpler than either the Genos 2 or PA-5x, but it’s been fun to get to play along with your discovery of these things!

what a nice product

About a few weeks i get my own pa5x 88 ,so this tutorial is very helpfull for me. Cheers

Great videos. The Pa5x is extremely powerful. Another functionality I like is you arent tied to any specific drum kit when you choose a style (such as the default kit they choose for you). You can change the kit itself. So you could choose the Bossanova style but use a Hard Rock drum kit. This is great if you love the sound of certain drum kits and want to use them on different styles. Of course you can also go granular within each style and if you wanted to change the kick drum or snare you can certainly do that to get the precise sound you want. You could create a Phil Collins sounding kit with relative ease with lots of toms. This ability to mix and match styles and kits makes the possibilities almost limitless because a rock kit on a soul or bossanova style is almost like a different sounding rock style especially when you fool around with the tempo and use the matrix to mute any unwanted parts that are still too "bossanova-y".

Nice video Woody. Out of the two cruise ship brands, I think I prefer the Yamahas. To me they just seem easier to get around.

Great intro video to the PA5x. I currently play a PA1000 and love it, but I'm hoping when I upgrade to the 5x it will have better piano sounds in addition to the other enhanced features.

Very interesting...to see how the functions are accessed

Soul Bros = Soul Brothers

The more I see it, the more I think I like it better than the Genos2. Although I believe the VFM arranger would be the PSR-SX700 or 900.

Hy...I see everyone touching a knob on the display screen and then turning the jog wheel to change the value...But is it possible to just move the button on the screen to make it + or - changing values ? Thanks.

I came for the Korg, I stayed for the DNB

@WoodyPianoShack Thank you for your intro vid. It looks like PA5x is more complicated than Genos 2. Could you please compare Korg and Yamaha approaches and the convenience and ease of operation on these devices? Flowless, touch screen feel, search and storage, connection to a computer (DAW) and so. I'm looking forward to see such topics in your future videos.

Very good video Woody! If you had a choice to make between Genos 2 and the Pa5 witch one would you choose? Thank’s!

Thanks, Woody; perfect timing; my new Pa5X is due for delivery tomorrow. I originally planed to get the 61 key as an organist most of my keyboards are 61 key, but opted for the 76 key. Not a pianist, so weighted keys are not my first choice. wish they made 88 key options with waterfall/synth keys...IIRC Korg did make an 88-key Kronos with synth action?

Everybody Bros: I suppose it's for Everybody needs somebody by the Blues Brothers. The one after that is for Soul Man.

Woody, thanks for another thorough video on a great arranger keyboard! I had tunnel vision of buying the new Genos 2, until you explained some of the enticing features of the Pa5X. The Genos has about 200 more styles, but with Korg's X-Fader, the style possibilities are expanded exponentially. I also like the pad matrix, and smoother instrument sound transition this Korg offers. My keyboard purchase history has favored Yamaha for years, but from the mechanics to the aluminum and wood case construction, the Korg seems like more bang for my buck! While performing, in your opinion which keyboard has the highest ease of use in the controls/touch screen layout? My familiarity with Yamaha's PSR arrangers makes me wonder if the Pa5X might be hard to transition to, yet I yearn to choose the best instruments to help me grow as a musician.

Great channel and content woody. Quick question and maybe it’s not that quick but how does this compare to say the new Yamaha montage m or say a nord stage 4 or even a fantom ?

Hi Woody, I have a feeling that the Everybody Bros Style refers to the Blues Brothers styles of song as well as the others with Bros in the title!

Excellent !!! One question : is it possible to midi learn for example the filter with an external controller plugged in via usb, for example korg nanostudio ? Would like to use buttons instead of faders. Thanks.

Hello Woody, can you show us how we transpose a style file into kst file please?

Hello You are amazing. Why Pa5x and not Ketron for example? I would like you to compare them sometime... Great channel, always thumbs up.. Greets Rafal 🤝

So which is the better instrument according to you Woody, the Genos2 or the Korg?

Can you mute the accompaniment and just have bass playing

i am on the verge of buyin the pa5x 88 keys.....but saw so many complains in utube about freezing, hanging, and no updates.....is this all true?.... or just disgruntled customers?...thks

🎵👍👍

Bought this keyboard and returned it 2 days later,couldn’t even get a decent basic piano sounding good,I’m not a sound engineer or should have to deep dive menus for a decent piano sound,

well that was supposed to be Soul Man.. all the parts are there..

The drum is like a pa800

Yah mate...which is better...im just a starter in the piano stuff..and I want something very special..

Genuine question here: who actually uses these keyboards, and in what kind of environments and kind of genres? I never see them at live gigs or in studios.

Nice for Korg to recognise one of the late Joe Sample's creations. I do think Streetlife is was meant to be an uplifting song so why using minor chords ...

Some serious money but a serious keyboard also.

Not quite the ultimate ! Quite a few things missed off - starting some styles in different tempo and and intro gives a different style / song.

“Bros” = brothers?

Great Cheese - but I am curious in the real world go gigging, who would hire someone playing this? rather than producing decent backing tracks and playing decent piano on top. As Piano is th only instrument (keys) that doesn't sound cheesy when solo

Ik hou van mijn Korg Pa5x musikant

If you have to watch this and have spent 3.⁵k on KBD you need to be worried 🤦🤦🤣🤣
