Korg PA5X

About the purchase of the KORG Pa5X Professional Arranger! We are sure it will give you countless hours of enjoyment creating great music at home or on stage. The Pa5X is an elegant and powerful music production workstation. It is easy to use, with a clear user interface, based on the tiltable color touchscreen, and the illuminated buttons on the control panel that display color-coded functions. The natural-response 88-note hammer-action keyboard, and the semi-weighted 76- and 61-note keys, are designed to provide a completely authentic feel and full expressive control. Powerful and reliable, the Pa5X is excellent as a live instrument, but it is also a powerful creative tool in the studio, helping you write songs or soundtracks, while creating a produced sound that makes the perfect demo or ready-to-use media music. The built-in sounds, based on our EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded) sound engine, range from ultra-realistic acoustic instruments to vintage electric keyboards to synthesizer classics, plus fantasy sounds and special effects for media and film production. We've also included instruments from different ages and cultures, leaving plenty of room for your own expansions. The Pa5X is easy to control, with KORG's DNC (Defined Nuance Control) system allowing the performer to accurately and expressively present the finest nuances and vocal expression. Faders, switches, real and virtual matrices of real-time controls, a joystick and a ribbon controller provide instant access to all parameters of the

Sound. The sounds are processed by a complex chain of effects, including final effects for each player and for the keyboard sounds. The final mastering effects on the audio outputs, which make the instrument sound “mixed” and “produced”, are the result of KORG’s long-term collaboration with Waves Audio, the world reference for studio mastering effects. To listen in the best possible sound quality, even at the lowest volume for late-night practice, you can add the optional KORG PaAS amplification system, specially designed to connect directly to the Pa5X. The optional modern and stylish dedicated ST-SV1-BK stand makes the instrument a solid statement on stage, and a stylish modern piece of furniture in your living room. The KORG XDS Crossfade Dual Sequencer/Player included with the Pa5X can be used to preload and freely mix styles and songs. You can also create your own Styles, and record your own MIDI and MP3 songs. Automatic harmonization, chord progression, and a sophisticated chord recognition engine can create the rich arrangements of a talented pop or jazz player. With Songs and Styles, you can display lyrics and chords in an internal or external display, and convert any MIDI Song track into a readable score. Markers allow you to jump back to a section you want to repeat, for example in a section you are learning or rehearsing, or to repeat a section live. You can record a MIDI song using the full-featured Sequencer. Even easier, just record what you sing and play (including MP3 songs) as an MP3 file, and listen to it wherever you want. You can save your Song and Style in the built-in Songbook, whose database-like entries are easy to sync with external sheet music readers on your tablet. So you can use a digital music book to control the Pa5X. A microphone and guitar can be connected to the dedicated audio inputs, and processed with the excellent built-in effects. Our many years of experience in vocal harmonies and guitar effects are fully included here. And the vocal remover will allow you to sing along with any MP3 song. There is more, much more, and we invite you to explore the Pa5X in depth. The Pa5X is the most complete, powerful and easy-to-use professional processor ever created. Enjoy your musical life with the new Pa5X!
