PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Korg PA5X v PSR SX900, chapter 3: I sent the Korg back
« Last post by Jeff_M on Today at 01:40:55 AM »After three weeks with the Korg, I decided to send it back to Sweetwater. Biggest reason was the complexity with transferring almost 200 songs from the Yamaha to the Korg. I'd have to do each one individually and that seemed a bit much (at this point I've done three). I gig a lot more in the summer and with the season just heating up I need to be ready to go. Additionally, I did constant side-to-side tests with the pair playing through my Bose PA and about 75% of the time found I preferred the sound of the Yamaha, mostly due to what I consider to be better-sounding styles. Not only that, but Korg just never really "grabbed" me like the SX900 did when it was new. Of course, I found things I preferred with the Korg (keybed, Hammond sounds, better display) but with lots of gigs coming up I just can't start with a new OS at the present. Now, my present SX900 has seen a lot of use and the keys have loosened up and some buttons require a heavier touch, so I ordered a new one and am selling my present one--at a significant discount--to a young friend who tried it out last year and loved it. He's a new player but has a lot of talent and I'm sure he'll have a great time with the SX. I'm hardly a do-gooder, but it's not a bad thing to be able to help out a new, young player.
