Feature:
I like the two sequencers.

Quality:
Cheap, cheap cheap. I bought this keyboard 8 months ago and I have replaced the Db and Eb key. I never seen anything so cheap in my life. The Casio $99 keyboard have better keys. This is only a toy for children.

Desirability:
I am very disappointed with quality keyboard. I have a Roland and Yamaha. Never had any problems with anything breaking, especially the keys.

Sound:
The sounds are not bad for a $1000 keyboard.

Ease of Use:
This is not a user friendly keyboard. It takes time to learn it. You can go in certain modes and it will lockup with you. What I mean is whatever button you press will not change the mode or sound. I have to reboot in order to get back where I need to be.

Support:
These guys do not have a clue.

Overall:
This is a home unit and not to be carried from place to place. The keyboard shell cheap plastic.

Feature:
crappy buttons. Cheap plastic. Have to press the same button twice or three times to pick the something from the menu

Quality:
This is a toy, not a keyboard. Don't waist your money. Go to vacation instead,or save a little and go for tyros or pa1x. Tried pa800, the same soap box. Plastic, plastic, prastic. Can't be a serious machine.

Value:
complete piece of...you know what

Desirability:
God forbid to even look at it

Sound:
Sound is pretty good for this money

Ease of Use:
If you go to style and want to go back, you don't know where you are at, at what style category. The "exit" button does not work in this case.

Support:
I don't know nothing about support. This toy is made in China...With all respect I don't expect much from it.

Feature:
since I start playing this keyboard I becoame better at it. Thank you Korg. It has all the features I need.

Quality:
The quality should be little better, it is made out of cheap plastic, but what a heck it has a great sounds and I am very happy to have this keyboard. My Yamaha had a hard plastic but the sounds were no where near my new KORG PA 50.

Value:
This product worth more than $999, you can't find a better deal.

Desirability:
Great looking keyboard, loaded with all kind of features, and like that other guy said "sexy looking keyboard"

Sound:
THE SOUND OF THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT.

Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use this keyboard, I use to have Yamaha, Roland, Casio, thanks god I got rid of these keyboards.

Overall:
If I had to buy another keyboad it would be KORG TRION EXTREMEm korg is the best product.

Feature:
For price qulity excellent

Quality:
Looks good, but keys feel as ik the could fall apart if you play to hard/fast

Value:
You get a lot for the price

Desirability:
Seems fine

Sound:
In programmode: superb other modes: poor/good -> in other modes than programmode the sounds are not the same, because of missing effects etc (why?) Sequender: the more sounds you use, the poorer the overal outcome

Ease of Use:
Playing: excellent Editing: difficult

Support:
Korg support is OK

Overall:
Depends of user: as a synth-user: replace it immediately as studio artist: has some excellent sounds in programmode but: see synthuser as band-member: this would not be you're main keyboard, good as second or third as one-man-entertainer: perfect, if you're budget is not high

Feature:
It is loaded with features, but some of then are hard to get to on the fly.

Quality:
Built of cheap plastic. I have a big crack in the back of mine from a small fall. The buttons are of the cheap rubber type, and some of mine take reapeated pushes to activate.

Value:
For the money, it is OK if you need an affordable arranger. Next one I buy will be a Yamaha though.

Desirability:
I own it.

Sound:
The sounds are a mixed bag. The drums are good. The acoustic pianos are on the thin side. Overall the whole instrument is very brite, I have tone it down with EQ.

Ease of Use:
Any keyboard with this many buttons has a deep learning curve. If I don't use it for a few months I have to "relearn" it.

Support:
Don't know.

Overall:
The Pa50 is capable of sequencing and recording your own backing tracks, But it cryptic and very hard to use for this. Better off doing it in a computer and transfering them with midi.

Feature:
Get all the pedals and you will be in seventh heaven!

Quality:
Beautiful, reliable, built to last.

Value:
For $900 you will get the mother of all arrangers ever made on this planet!

Desirability:
I am so much in love with this baby that I am going to buy another one after I finish submitting this review. I love the lights and small buttons. It is sexy!

Sound:
Superexpressive, realistic, gorgeous! It sounds better than Yamaha PSR3000. I also use my Hammond M3 (baby B3) to play Bossa Nova. By the way, I have a brand new Korg CX3 combo organ that I only used twice at home. I want to trade for a Korg Triton LE-61, 76 or 88. The reason is that I need more sounds. My email is brownysweet@hotmail.com My tips are that you use the effects to your taste, but anyway this baby sounds amaizing without effects.

Support:
Very friendly and nice customer service.

Overall:
It will never be stolen because they will have to do it over my dead body. It is the best deal on the market now. I do not know why people spend over $3000 for a Yamaha Tyros when Korg PA50 sounds much better and is less than one third the price! I like everything about it...Perfection is the word to define the amazing PA50. Korg products are the top of the line, period!

Support:
don;t know.

almost the best! could be actually the best, still, i dont feel this keyboard as being 100% perfect!
