Feature:
One of the features it has that I love is the option to let you put your own (custom) sounds, styles, and songs inside. I use this instrument for middle eastern performences and the features are very good. For the Price of $900 this is awesome!

Quality:
Quality seems to be good so far. It rarely has bugs but still has some. I mean it is a nice Italian style developed in Japan and Made in China, like I said $900 very good deal.

Value:
For an instrument like this you should be very happy for getting it at $900. This is a really great price. If you were to buy a similar keyboard from "Yamaha" it will cost you around $1,500.

Desirability:
Very beautiful Italian look. Sexy keyboard with a nice grey finish. Everything on the keyboard is layed out nicely for ease of use. Nice look and finish.

Sound:
Sound is beautiful, almost as good as the Pa800 or Pa1x. Preloaded instruments are nice, comes with a brief selection of oriental sounds and styles.

Ease of Use:
Very very easy to use. Just load the floppy disk (if you own one) and load the sounds and styles. Choosing the sounds and styles are very easy. Many easy features that would be rather complicated on other keyboards.

Support:
Korg, very good support I hear from a lot of people. I actually baught my PA-50 at "Guitar Center" and wherever you buy it new from Korg will give you I believe a 1 year limited warranty but if you register online I believe it will give you an extra year for free.

Overall:
I think I will be satisfied with this product for a long time especially since I am learning to play Middle Eastern music on it and it is very useful. I will probably replace it after I have more experience with the keyboard. If this product was lost/stolen I believe I would buy the same one.

Feature:
Some of the guitars are passable, as well as the piano, vibes and organ sounds. There are better units that can accomodate you if the instrument sounds are of most importance. Some of the horn sections are not so o.k., barely. Should come with sustain and assign pedals. Would be nice to have a CD burner on board. The floppy discs will load more programs, but read the directions so you don't overide the ones that are installed.

Quality:
Not bad for an Italian design made in China. There is no semi or weighted keys here, more like synth keys, something to get used too.

Value:
Good value for the money.

Desirability:
It's plastic and not a Hammond B-3, so what. It looks like what it is semi-pro. I would beleive that it is not all together that aesthetically pleasing however, if they made it out of carbon fiber it would cost more, but it would be unbreakable.

Sound:
This is a great arranger for getting right into the music. The jazz and bossa styles work for myself with fairly good arrangemements for backup. Less technical than the Pa500, instruments are fine, there are better instruments on the Korg X50, but that is a workstation. This is almost the same as the old Korg Pa80 and Pa60, sounds and features. Good for practice or playing live. It works wonders when you don't have to call up people to jam. I am keeping this one!

Ease of Use:
Right out of the box, turn it on and play. The better you are the more likely you can make it sound good. Complex jazz rythyms with good chops that are lightin' fast, now that really helps. Or you can fade into the sunset with a bossa that is cool and serene.

Support:
I wrote a couple of days ago and they haven't written back. Usually they may answer or e-mail you back, however it depends on what you want and how persistant you are...

Overall:
Am always searching for more keyboard, they are the best toys. Just got a Korg X-50 but haven't played with it yet. Good instruments so far. Would like maybe an Korg M3 too. CX-3 others.

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!

Feature:
more features than any other arranger in this class! almost similar to pa80.

Quality:
is not perfect, but better than what you would expect when hear "made in china".

Value:
the best product for the money! no doubt!

Desirability:
is very desirable!

Sound:
very good sounds! clear, natural, usefull

Support:
only support i needed until now was for downloading new styles and sounds and some freeware soft. it was very good!

Overall:
very satisfied! i am not thinking of buying another product camparable with this one!

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.

Quality:
exelent final finish of plastic case

Value:
regarding price-quality thing, couldn't be better

Sound:
Best tip is to study manual to the end and posibilities become endless

Support:
every updates can be found on official sites

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:
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:
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:
alot of them! i like it for both arranger capabilities and high quality sounds engine

Quality:
i played korg keyboards before. i like them, they're strong and reliable. good looking, maybe a little bit "childish".

Value:
valuable gear! good investment!

Desirability:
definitely i want it! is there someone willing...? :)

Sound:
HI system...? sounds good!

Support:
don;t know.

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