The new Korg PA-4X professional arranger is an indispensable instrument for composing, recording, performing and entertaining. The Pa4X professional arranger is more than a keyboard, it's your band, your accompanist, your artistic director and even your sound engineer.More than just recorded soundsThe huge sound bank includes classical and contemporary keyboard sounds as well as brass and classical orchestra sounds including a new multi-layer stereo grand piano sound (with sampling of the forte pedal and soundboard resonance) as well as new electric piano sounds, wind instruments, basses and incredible acoustic and electric guitars. In addition, there are harmonic drawbar organ sounds with the reproduction of the cab's breath and the sound of the keys.A state-of-the-art technology.These sounds were captured with Korg's own state-of-the-art EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded) technology, which reproduces even the smallest nuances with extraordinary precision. The integrated sampler and sound editor allow you to fill the extensive user memory with your own or imported sounds.Subtle nuances of expression.All of these sounds come to life with the Korg DNC (Defined Nuance Control) system, which allows the musician to introduce subtle nuances and expressive sound articulations. For example, the joystick, ribbon and assignable switches add the buzz of a saxophone, the breathy nuances of a trumpet, clarinet or harmonica, and accentuate the authenticity of plucked or bowed strings. You can even hear the keys open as the saxophone notes rise and close as the notes fade.Natural, authentic sounds.Every sound on the Pa4X runs through separate effects processors and EQs, so you can fine-tune your sound before sending it to the stereo audio outputs. Effects range from classic reverbs and delays to less classic effects like a vocoder, realistic amp simulators and amazingly realistic vintage effects. With the included Waves Audio MAXX effects suite, you'll get a more powerful, clearer, richer and more finished sound when mastering.For those who love hi-fi.If you're looking for high fidelity, you can add the PaAS amplifier system to the Pa4X, specifically designed to be connected directly to the keyboard. Impressive at home or as a stage monitor, the PaAS requires no additional stand, cable or power supply to deliver crystal-clear sound at any volume level, allowing the musician to play at any time without disturbing the neighborhood.A band at your disposal.The Pa4X's ultra-realistic sounds are suitable for any style of music.
