At the time I assumed that Sennheiser licensed their technology and design to Razer and that TerraTec had done the same, effectively making Razer a re-branding company for solid, good quality audio products.

Sling Media prove that you don’t have to be a consumer electronics giant to produce a well rounded, properly polished product backed up by excellent software. If only more manufacturers would follow their example. Yes, Archos. I’m looking at you.

The Korg Pa2X Pro is the current in a long evolutionary line of professional arranger keyboards giving Korg a rich history to build upon and produce what can simply only be described as “a beast.” There’s so much to say that I’m only going to whet your appetite here and let Korg do the talking.
