This is the Pa5x oriental killer

Only time will tell, but I doubt it.
Korg has a great reputation and big success with their Oriental versions.


Btw,
here is an excel file that is included in the download listing the contents of the packs.
May be nice to know before download and install. It's space consuming, and probably not the genre that gets played by all the G2 users.

Korg has a great reputation and big success with their Oriental versions.

There's a reason why Korg is preferred choice in Middle East and also in Eastern Europe (Balkan region). For example, here so called "intervals" are used a lot and so having oriental voices alone, is not enough to successfully play music popular in those regions.
The problem is, it's very complicated to create intervals on Yamaha, while that's quite simple on Korg (and Ketron) -More info about this in this video.

Korg made a huge mistake by marketing the Oriental model as a separate product

Why?

Because Korg officially promised that there would be no Oriental model, only an expansion card that will be sold separately

when all customers bought the standard version, Korg launched the Oriental...

When YAMAHA put the PSR A5000 in the GENOS 2 as a free expansion and if it is really what they claim

Then this expansion is the killer of the oriental version of the Pa5x because of the superior quality all of all.

Why did KORG do this? Shurly for commercial profits and internal arrangements with other resellers to maintain marketing and effort for the brand.

..... only an expansion card that will be sold separately

I wish they could use such solution to expand the International version into both the Oriental and Musikant!
Personally, I would definitely choose the Musikant addon.

Btw.
Welcome to YM and YM forum Laurance!

Thanks for your words.

I bought the international version because I think the price of the musikant version is too high for what it is. But disappointed by the commercial lies I sold mine, not to mention the bugs.

I think that Genos2 is now the best alternative for those who are used to high-end KORG arrangers.

I think also many of us around the world was surprised with this huge release from YAMAHA

Hope they will continue surprising us
