    Given the vast price difference between the two, the Medeli certainly holds its own here. I have an AKX10 and for the style demo, there are better styles that could have been used here. All in all, for the price, the Medeli is an amazing instrument

    Ok, volume is not the same, maybe in mixer yes, but in my phone I hear that pa5x is louder in this video. Bass, treble, middle, do you use mixer for part of forniture or for mixing? Make sound (just for ear) equivalen and then you will se, that difference is not so big... Depence what you need...

      I think he is using the sound of the speakers in the Medeli and he is using an output connection on the Pa5x . That's why it sounds much louder and also the sound will be much diffrent because of that. He should have used an output connection on the Medeli for a true comparison.

    Definitely, this comparing isn't fair.
    Generally most of the Korg keyboards give the player the true sense of the musical instrument, strong output and pure sounds.
    With consideration that the player is playing a main role in making the good music not the keyboard.
    In my opinion and the Medeli can't compete the Korg.

  • @jimbrightman6672

    The price is not the only thing about what has to be better or not. A 4000 $ Keyboard not only has the better sounds, quality or samples, mostly there is also much deeper funktionality in structure, DSP-Routing possibilities, Sequencer-, Arp- special- capabilities and way more tricky things that you can do. Lots and lots functions under the hood, which a cheaper one regulary not has to offer. But: It depends on personal preferences, likes or needs and in the end : money.....

    First of all this is a totally incorrect way to compare the instruments, the most important thing to do is gain staging, make both the same loudness. Just because of this a comparison like this is useless.
    Second, Medeli does not sound broken, no mater the price. Korg destroys the audio as soon as you import it, a known fact. Not sure why, but all their keyboards sound like broken, how difficult it can be to reproduce the audio files correctly.

    They have done blind sound tests where people can not see which keyboard they are playing. They did they one I attended live with a Yamaha Genos, Ketron SD9, Medeli AKX10 and Korg Pa5x. The test revealed more than half of the listeners chose the pa5x over the others. It was very interesting how many preferred the Korg over the others. Something I never expected nor would have believed if I didn't see and hear it in person. What was interesting was after the test concluded and the results were announced how many people tried to invalidate the results not wanting to believe them. Those people were put to rest quickly when they showed the video and proved the event was legitimate. Why do so many people want to choose to believe a lie than accept the truth in front of them?

      True opinion. But Medeli is not so bad. Sampler is so good....

      We can compare money or sound... Even so, there is a huge difference indeed. But, on the sampling area, Medeli is quite amazing
