Korg PA700

Pa700
Professional Arranger

KORG presents Pa700, the latest High Performance Arranger in the renowned Pa series of professional keyboards.
The Pa700 has a very rich sound database, completely renewed, with the majority of the sounds created with the famous “Defined Nuance Control” technology, which allows for an even greater degree of realism.

The performances that arise from the use of Pa700 sounds and Styles are always vivid and exciting, capable of brilliantly covering every style and musical genre. These elements are further combined with a series of powerful management functions, and a fast and intuitive user interface, capable of satisfying the needs of the most demanding musicians.

The Pa700 sound generation system uses an internal PCM memory 4 times larger than that of the previous best-selling Korg Pa600, and a 256MB USER PCM memory (using data compression). The locations for the internal Styles have now been brought to 1,152, to cover every stylistic and musical need. The amplification system has been further improved and perfected, with a powerful and dynamic sound. The instrument has a RGB video output as standard, for fun Karaoke performances or useful support for the entertainer musician.

A completely revolutionary feature for an arranger implemented on Pa700 is the KAOSS FX, which allows creative control of your performance. Morphing between Variations and Drum Kit types, Mixing between the various accompaniments, Reshaping of Styles, Delay, Arpeggios, up to the most radical and extreme DJ effects are just some of the possibilities offered in real time by this fantastic new feature, to push the boundaries of your musicality even further!

With these elements, the Pa700 sets a new standard for Arranger Workstations, a huge leap forward from the already legendary Pa600. With this instrument, KORG raises the bar even higher, offering more high-quality and realistic sounds, powerful new functions, a slim, professional design, and an even more affordable price.
