Korg PA1X Pro

Description

The Korg PA1X Pro is the latest addition to Korg’s Pa line is truly in a class by itself. Although it shares many features with its Pa80 & Pa60 siblings, the all-new Korg Pa1X Pro breaks new ground and opens up new territory for the composer, performer and entertainer who demand a musical companion second to none.

Just take a look

The first thing you’ll notice about the Korg PA1X Pro is the huge 240 x 320 full color TouchView display, taking Korg’s intuitive access of multiple parameters to new heights. Next, the sleek aluminum panel and 76 semi-weighted keys (with aftertouch) will catch your eye. Eight assignable sliders, four assignable switches, a joystick and two fixed function faders are all designed to put the amazing power of the Korg Pa1X Pro at your fingertips. Hidden inside, the hard drive can store all your sound, song, sample and performance data for easy recall.

It all begins with sound

The Korg Pa1X Pro is the first Korg product based on our new RX Technology, designed to produce a detailed, sophisticated natural sound. The Pa1X Pro delivers a generous 62 notes of polyphony, 760 Sounds, plus another 512 you can program yourself. Add to that 48 preset drum kits and 128 programmable drum kits! Sweeten the sound using the four Master Effects (featuring 90 effect types), plus a set of Vocal Effects borrowed from the legendary TC-Helicon.

The Korg Pa1X Pro is also an accomplished sampler, able to read .WAV, AIFF, Korg and AKAI samples/multisamples. Sampled sounds can be sliced to create new grooves and kits, assigned to Sounds, or filtered, modified and processed by the internal effects. Standard sample memory is 16MB, expandable to 32 MB.
