Most (if not all) European electronic equipment manufacturers are heavily dependent on chinese electronic components market. And considering the current situation (China embargo for hi-tech, covid situation in China, etc), I'm not surprised about scarce supply from China (they protect their own interests, I guess).
And who's to blame? Europe itself! In last 20 years, Europe relied entirely on imports from China and during that time, practically no investments have been made in chip development & production. Simply because it was easier to make big money by importing parts (or many times, complete products).
Korg? In my eyes, Pa5X is actually a
vaporware, where no one knows when is that to change. Actually, reason for delay is irrelevant for consumer -what matter is, can it be delivered or not.
Just my opinion -and ranting a bit
