MY REVIEW ON KORG PA4X-76

                                               

                                               

KORG PA4X-76

There is no a lot of abused and misunderstood cat egory of keyboards than arrangers. it's definitely a cultural divide: In Europe, the UK, and across the Arab world, AN arranger keyboard is that the skilled performance instrument, used proudly and to nice result. Here within the U.S. the class is generally looked down upon, and also the sight of aboard speakers or a button labelled dance palace typically generates jokes and sneers. this is often a true shame, because the class has mature considerably since the first days of ’80s-era Casio and Yamaha portables. Today’s top-end arrangers supply gorgeous accompaniment and extremely advanced voice architectures, and that they supply the player a lot of subtle sound nuances than their digital computercounterparts. thus we’re staging a clash of the titans, the highest offerings from Korg and Yamaha, to checkwhat they provide the gigging musician.Here within the U.S., several gigging musicians play in similar circumstances. If you play solo in an exceedingly bar or eating place, as a couple with a singer or horn player, or 3 items while not a percussionist, you must be checking these instruments out. Their drum accompaniment can provide you with a lot of flexibility and musical realism than a complete drum machine or the unvarying drum patterns your digital computer offers.

When supporting a singer, i exploit the drums and play left-hand bass. from time to time i will be able toactivate the accompaniment thus I will take a solo employing a non-keyboard sound or get a lot of realistic stringed instrument strumming, or for rock-and dance-oriented tunes. a bit goes a protracted way; I usuallymute thusme elements that the “band” isn't so resistless. It provides a lot of selection than a full night of simply voice and solo piano, and it’s not as “canned” as exploitation backing tracks, since I will still vary song structures and move with the opposite musicians. Do I bring it to my full-band gigs and jazz dates? Nope, I even have alternative gear, however my arranger is that the right selection for a great deal of labor I do.
The Interface

On initial look, associate degree arranger is discouraging with its crowded front panel. The Korg Pa4X has a hundred and fifteen buttons, 10 sliders, and 6 knobs, whereas the Yamaha Tyros5 has a hundred sixty fivebuttons, 9 sliders, and 3 knobs. Whew! however they're organized into logical sections and you’ll shortly noticeyour means around. the fundamental sections embrace sound choice, vogue choice, vogue variation and drum controls, mixing, sound and layer recall for right-hand enjoying, trigger pads, sequencer transport controls, mic input, and vocal harmony.

A-Audio keystation review

A-Audio keystation

M-Audio was founded in the late 1990s by Tim Ryan, an engineer and graduate of the California Institute of Technology who had co-designed the Con BrioAdvanced Digital Synthesizer and helped develop MIDI software for Commodore and Apple computers, including two of the best-selling MIDI software titles at that time, Studio One and Studio Two. After founding the company as Music Soft and changing the name to Midiman due to Yamaha Corporation already owning the rights to the Music Soft name, Ryan began the company with hardware solutions designed to solve the challenges of connecting MIDI, audio, and computer equipment together for the purposes of music production.^[1]

Midiman first established itself as a manufacturer of small, affordable MIDI problem solvers, sync devices, and interfaces. The first Midiman product was named the "Midiman," a MIDI-to-tape recorder synchronizer, but the first products that experienced mainstream success were the Syncman and Syncman Pro VITC-to-LTC/MTC converters. The next products of note were the Midisport and Bi-Port range of MIDI interfaces which were far more commercially successful than any other Midiman product to date, and which established a core product category for the company for many years to come.

Following the commercial success of the MIDI interface line, Midiman introduced the Flying Cow and Flying Calf A/D / D/A converters,^[2] and entered the audio interface product category for the first time with the 4-input, 20-bit DMAN 2044.^[3]

Growth, re-branding and Avid acquisition[edit]

In the year 2000 and in conjunction with the announcement of the Delta Series PCI audio interfaces, Midiman introduced "M-Audio" as the new brand for their audio products.^[4] In the years following, Midiman grew business further by entering into distribution deals with Propellerhead Software, Ableton, ArKaos,^[5] and Groove Tubes microphones,^[6] The success of the Midiman and M-Audio products, combined with the distribution revenues, resulted in 128% growth for the company in 2001 and 68% growth in 2002, making Midiman the fastest-growing music company in the US for both of those years.^[1]

Having now established themselves in the MIDI interface and audio interface product categories, Midiman entered the MIDI keyboard controller market in 2002 with the introduction of the portable 25-key Oxygen8. While not the first 25-key MIDI controller nor the first cost-effective keyboard controller with plenty of hardware MIDI controls, the Oxygen8 helped establish the new category of portable keyboard controller, and a significant product category for M-Audio in the years to come. Similarly, the same year marked M-Audio's entry to the studio monitor speaker market with the Studiophile SP5B.^[7] Later that same year, Midiman officially re-branded themselves entirely as M-Audio, the brand they'd been using for their audio division since 1999.^[8]

In 2003, Midiman acquired Evolution Electronics LTD, manufacturer of MIDI controllers, as a wholly owned subsidiary, and continued to sell Evolution-branded MIDI controllers and keyboards.^[9] The following year, Avid Technology acquired Midiman, Inc. (which was, at that time, doing business as M-Audio). Avid paid approximately $174 million, or nearly eight times the book value of the company.^[10] The payment was in the form of $80 million in cash, approximately 2 million shares of Avid common stock issued, and all M-Audio stock options assumed. Tim Ryan continued on with the company as general manager.^[11]

The Yamaha PSR-E323 is associate degree entry-level home electronic keyboard dedicated for beginner, learning and private usage. it's positioned within the low-end category, competitory with similar productlike Casio LK-220 and CTK-3000.

The keyboard options a velocity-sensitive keys with adjustable sensitivity setting, a complete of 482 instrument sounds as well as stereo-sampled piano and Yamaha XG soundset, a collection of 106 totally different auto-accompaniment rhythms, integral lesson system for active, stereo bass reflex speakers, likewise as over one hundred integral songs.

Like most electronic keyboards generally, the PSR-E323 is compatible with MIDI commonplace, with associate degree integrated MIDI input/output jacks for connecting to a pc or different electronic instruments.

Sound engine
The keyboard contains a scaled-down version of Yamaha's Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generation system, that could be a PCM sample-based synthesis engine. The samples area unit associate degreeadaptation of Yamaha's earlier PortaTone series of home keyboards created between 1997 and 2006, likewise because the MU-series sound modules created from 1994 to 2002.

It options a 32-note music with 16-part multi-timbral support and Yamaha XG fat-free sound set.

One notable feature of the keyboard is "Portable Grand", a perform that instantly sets the keyboard to a stereo-sampled piano sound. The piano area unit digital samples of a Yamaha grand geological dating back to the early-1990s, and was erst employed in digital pianos at the time like YFP, YPP, and YPR series, likewiseas early models of Clavinova.

Successors
Yamaha has created a series of comparable keyboards as direct successor to the PSR-E323; the PSR-E333 (2011), that maintains otherwise identical style, options and sounds, however with a black color, 3D stereo perform, and a brand new plug-and-play USB association commutation the normal MIDI in/out ports; the PSR-E343 (2013), that includes a redesigned panel layout, new sounds, audio input (AUX) association, and iOS device compatibility; the PSR-E353 (2015), that includes constant style and functions as its precursorhowever with improved sound engine, increased speaker and gray finish; the PSR-E363 (2017) that includesa serious design and improved electronic equipment, aboard a 76-note version (PSR-EW300)
