Korg PA800 61 Key Pro Arranger Keyboard $2899 The new Pa800 is the complete Arranger keyboard for the professional musician. Intuitive, powerful, interactive with the most stunning sound ever produced by an Arranger keyboard. Korg’s popular Pa80 is the most successful Professional Arranger keyboard ever produced. Used by tens of thousands of musical professionals in every country of the world, the Pa80 is the industry standard. So, developing the next generation of Arranger from Korg – the Pa800 – required that they understand the needs of the modern musical professional while respecting the technology chosen by so many musicians worldwide. After countless interviews from musicians in dozens of countries, we knew what we needed to do to develop the complete professional Arranger keyboard – the new Pa800! Korg Pa800 Features RX Technology RX Technology was first used on the Pa1X, the most powerful Arranger around, RX Technology is the guiding philosophy behind the Pa800. RX – Real eXperience – guided all our design and sound decisions. When the Pa800 performs, we want the audience to listen – and believe. TC Helicon inside The Pa800 includes as standard the world acclaimed TC Helicon Voice Processor. This features EQ and professional quality effects (reverb, echo, etc.), designed and shaped specifically for vocals. These effects, combined with the built in 3 voice harmonizer and dedicated high quality mic preamp, ensure your vocals have the highest possible sound quality. The most important controls to keep your voice under control are available in the panel and in the display’s main page. Simply connect your microphone and start performing! Never a Dull Moment Korg Pa80 introduced the world’s first Arranger keyboard with two separate MIDI file players in the legendary Pa80 and our Pa800 showcases these double sequencer features working at an all new power level. In addition, the Pa800 supports the main musical formats such as SMF (Standard Midi File), Karaoke files and GM (General MIDI) and of course is able to display lyrics in most popular karaoke formats. There is also a practical Marker function to allow you to jump directly to a given position in the song: you can fix the markers using the internal sequencer (or using a computer based one – the marker format is standard) and then remix your favorite songs during a live performance for added spontaneity. Taming Technology for Intuitive Ease of Use With all the technological power packed inside, it was vital that we also made the Pa800 easy to understand and easy to use. But even more, we wanted the whole way you use the Pa800 to be an intuitive, musical, fast, foolproof experience. Our graphical user interface uses an amazing Graphical Color Touch Screen so you simply think, point and click for easy and intuitive use – RX Technology at work for you! So musicians of all levels can make great music quickly, there are two interface modes: EASY and EXPERT. The EASY mode shows only the most important controls while keeping a cle |
