Korg Pa1X / Pa1X Pro Keyboards
"Listen and Believe"
The new Korg Pa1X and Pa1X Pro keyboards are the most complete tools for the
musical professional ever conceived. Intuitive, powerful, interactive with the
most stunning sound you will hear from an Arranger keyboard combined with
synthesis, sampling and more.
The Pa1X Pro is the first Korg keyboard based on the 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 keyboard 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.
History
Korg's history in Acc (Arranger) keyboards started with legendary i3, a
landmark in musical instruments, and then developed through many generations of
successful arrangers until the most popular professional Arranger keyboard ever
the Pa80. But as musicians themselves, knew they could do even better,
so they aimed for the most powerful and easy to use keyboard we could imagine.
For this Korg used RX Technology. It underlies every sound, every function and
every feature of the Korg Pa1X / Pa1X Pro. The result is a masterpiece.
TC-Helicon inside
RX Technology helped in the search for the best vocal sound and processing
possible. Knowing that an audience wants to hear a great voice to go with great
music. Looking for the best, Korg forged links with another world class audio
technology company, T.C. Electronics, to combine audio vision with successful
vocal technologies already used in the musical and sound recording worlds.
The Korg Pa1X includes as standard the world acclaimed TC-Helicon Voice
Processor featuring EQ and professional quality effects (reverb, chorus, etc.),
designed and shaped specifically for vocals. These effects, combined with a
dedicated high quality mic preamp, ensure your vocals have the highest quality
sound possible.
The TC-Helicon Voice Processor also features voice doubling and 4 voice
harmonizer. Simply connect your microphone and start to play: along with the
fantastic Korg sounds you have also the worlds most respected and
recognised processing for your voice the TC-Helicon Voice Processor.
For more power and specific applications, you can add Pitch Correction and
Voice Modeling upgrade options to the TC-Helicon Voice Processor. More details
of these upgrade options can be found at www.korgpa.com
Easy to use With all the technological power packed inside, it was vital
that we also made the Pa1X easy to understand and easy to use. But even more,
we wanted the whole way you use the Pa1X to be an intuitive, musical, fast,
foolproof experience.
The new graphical user interface uses an amazing new Graphical Colour Touch
Screen to help you work in a faster, easier, logical and intuitive way. The
most respected professional synthesisers in the world the Korg Trinity
and Triton pioneered the use of TouchScreen technology. Naturally,Korg
based the Pa1X new user interface on the feedback from some of the most
successful musicians in the world and provide an advanced Graphical Colour
Touch Screen.
All the power of the new Pa1X can be controlled with just one finger. Think,
Point, Touch RX Technology at work.
The controls are laid out sensibly; there is no
need to search for what you need.
Switches and sliders are assignable so your live performances work the way
you want them to. For one song, the sliders can be organ drawbars, for another
volume controls for each part of a backing style. Nothing stands between you
and your professional performance.
