KORG PA1000

PROFESSIONAL DYNAMIC KEYBOARD 61 KEYS

KORG introduces the Pa1000, the latest High Performance Arranger in the renowned Pa series of professional keyboards. The Korg Pa1000 features a rich, completely renewed sound database, with most of the sounds created using the renowned "Defined Nuance Control" technology, allowing for an even greater degree of realism. Performances that arise from the use of the Pa1000's 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 Pa1000's sound generation system uses an internal PCM memory that is four times larger than that of the previous best-selling Korg Pa900, and a USER PCM memory of 600MB (using data compression). The locations for the internal Styles have now been increased to 1152, to cover every stylistic and musical need. The internal amplification system has been further improved and perfected, with a powerful and dynamic sound. Naturally, the TC Helicon vocal processor, the Dual MP3 player & recorder, and the Dual Crossfade Sequencer are present. The instrument has a HDMI video output as standard, for fun Karaoke performances or useful support for the entertainer musician. Finally, the Pa1000 has a very high quality cabinet with aluminum inserts, with an elegant and extremely professional overall look. A completely revolutionary function for an arranger implemented on the Pa1000 is the KAOSS FX, which allows creative control of the performance, such as Morphing between Variations and Drum Kit types, Mix between the various accompaniments, Reshaping of Styles, Delay, Arpeggios, up to the most radical and extreme DJ effects. These are just some of the possibilities offered in real time by this fantastic new function, designed to push the boundaries of your musicality even further. With these new elements, the Pa1000 sets a new standard for Arranger Workstations, a huge leap forward from the already legendary Pa900. With this instrument, KORG raises the bar even higher, offering more high-quality and more realistic sounds, powerful new functions, an elegant and professional design, and an even more affordable price.
