Korg Pa6x Today

One of the controversial moves on the Pa5X was the removal of the traditional joystick in favor of a touch strip. The Korg Pa6X brings back the classic, rugged Korg joystick (Pitch bend up/down, Modulation left/right).

This is a massive win for synth and guitar players. The tactile feedback of the joystick is far superior for live bends. Additionally, the Pa6X keeps the four assignable knobs and the sliders found on the Pa5X, meaning you still have full control over filter cutoff, resonance, and volume balances in real time.

The Advice: If you are a touring pro who needs to load massive custom sample libraries (like a 2GB piano sample), buy the Pa5X. If you are a working musician who uses factory sounds and plays covers in bars, buy the Pa6X. The Pa6X gives you 95% of the performance for 60% of the price.

The core of the Pa6X is the Style engine. A Style is an intelligent pattern generator that provides drums, bass, chords, and arpeggios based on what you play with your left hand.
