KORG PA1000 All-New! Featuring a Professional Rhythm Set for High-End Events! KORG debuts the newest processor in its acclaimed Pa-Series of professional processors, the Pa1000. The Pa1000 has a wealth of new sounds (including defined Nuance Control for enhanced realism) that keep performances fresh and exciting, as well as a vast and expanded range of styles covering musical genres from around the world. Combine this with powerful performance functionality, an intuitive user interface, and rich, sculpted sound, and you have a processor for the most discerning and demanding player. The Pa1000 sound engine uses four times more PCM memory than the best-selling Pa900 and expands the amount of PCM memory available to the user to 600MB through compression. The number of user style locations has also been expanded to a maximum of 1,152 to cover almost every style imaginable. The improved built-in speaker system produces a powerful, full-bodied sound enhanced by standard features such as the TC Helicon Vocal Harmonizer, dual MP3 player and recorder and Dual Crossfade Sequencer. Video output is standardised, so your audience can sing along to the lyrics on the screen. The Pa1000 packs all this into a high-quality chassis with aluminium side panels for a sleek, premium look on any stage! Completely new is the addition of KAOSS FX, which give you creative control over your performance. From subtle morphing between drum kit variations and types, subtle mixing of backing sounds, live reshaping of sustained rhythms, to the most radical effects of note-smashing used by countless DJs, tape delay and arpeggios, you can add 'liquid mixing' to any MIDI style or song with easy-to-use computer-aided composition features. Stretch the boundaries of your musicality! With more power than ever before and many long-awaited new features, the Pa1000 sets a new standard for orchestral workstations. A massive leap forward from the legendary and best-selling Pa900, KORG has raised the bar by offering even more realistic new sounds and powerful new features, delivered in a slim, professional-looking design, at an even more affordable price.

Feel the keyboard
The 61-key keyboard offers a semi-weighted action, feels just right, features natural response and aftertouch key velocity/off sensitivity, and is designed for musicians of all levels.
Slim, powerful and easy to use
The Pa1000 was designed with the idea of combining a slim profile with a professional motif. 2x33W amplifiers drive the four speakers in a bass-reflex enclosure to create a rich, full-bodied listening experience. The main panel has been optimised to ensure that all controls are ergonomically positioned and intuitively positioned to make every performance feel smooth and natural. Big, bright and bold, the new capacitive TouchView display hosts a redesigned graphical interface that is easier than ever to read, even in the most demanding lighting environments.
Sound quality at its best

This realistic collection offers a vast collection of classic and contemporary keyboards, bands and orchestral instruments, plus electronic and acoustic instruments - from techno to folk. Two new multi-layer stereo grand pianos (with shock absorbers and body resonance) are included, plus electric pianos from the acclaimed KORG SV-1 stage piano.
The digital drawbar organ features central on/off sounds, leakage and rotary speaker simulation. In addition, the Pa1000 has been equipped with new brass, strings, bass - even acoustic and electric guitars. The sounds have been meticulously captured using cutting-edge methods that allow the finest details to be accurately reproduced.
Up to 600 MB (compressed PCM user memory) is available, so you can easily add custom sounds. The General MIDI (GM) sound bank has been improved for better compatibility with GM files. The Pa1000 can also load/import KORG, WAV, AIFF, SoundFont formats and export as WAV or AIFF. Sounds are fully editable, and up to 24 oscillators per note can now be used!
