Pa2X Pro History
Korg is responsible for the most successful and respected Arranger keyboards in
music. Used by tens of thousands of music professionals in every country around
the world, Korg Arrangers have thrilled audiences and delighted players
everywhere with the magic combination of unbeatable sound quality and
professional features.
RX Technology is what makes the magic work. First used in the Pa1X Arranger
series, RX Technology is the guiding philosophy behind the Pa2X Pro. RX –
Real eXperience - guided all our design and sound decisions. When the Pa2X Pro
performs, we want the audience and performers to Listen - and Believe.
Following on from the industry standard Pa80 and industry leading Pa1X, the
next generation of Arranger from Korg – the Pa2X Pro - required we
understand the needs of the modern musical professional whilst 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 Pa2X Pro!
Performance controls-- Eight assignable sliders, 4 assignable
switches, a joystick and 2 fixed function faders.
A great way to use these is by calling a preset organ performance, the eight
sliders are set as drawbars and the joystick switches between tremolo(fast) and
chorus(slow) leslie effects. Korgs flutes are fantastic, it combines for
Connections-- The back panel offers a damper pedal input, an
assignable pedal input and a connection to the optional EC5 multi function
footswitch. The USB port is essential for quick transfer of data from the
internal hard drive to a computer for further editing or archiving
Audio and Midi connections-- The Korg PA2XPro has 2 pairs of audio
outs and 2 pairs of midi in/outs. There are 2 sets of audio in, that can be
used for sampling and providing input to the onboard Vocal Harmoniser, 1 set
can be switched to a balanced line input with a separate gain control. A
coaxial S/P DIF outut is included in the specifications making the PA2XPro a
truly professional quality instrument
an awesome organ setup.

Screen-- The large 240 x 320 colour touchscreen is easy to
understand and is intuitive. If youve never used one before you get used to
the idea instantly. The PA2XPro screen allows you to access all of the features
of the instrument quickly Its Motorised !

 |
Songbook-- You can select a song setup from a huge choice of
preset and user defined registrations. Calling up the correct style, tempo,
sounds and effects
Quality Voicing-- The PA2X Pro has 62 notes of polyphony. There are
760 sounds plus 516 more that you can create yourself. There are 48 preset
drumkits, and 128 programmable drumkits. Korg includes a very powerful effects
unit allowing 4 master effects and a set of Vocal effects provided by the
legendary TC Helicon.
Optional CDRW-- For less than £200 you can add the CDRW and
transfer your music directly to a CD to be played on any standard CD player.
Quality is perfect because there is no external noise to interfere wit
Rhythms created by the worlds best musicians-- The PA2X Pro is
packed with over 350 musical styles created by brilliant musicians from all
over the world. Each style consists of 8 accompaniment parts. You can use the
bare minimum bass & drums or use all 8 parts to throw out a full big band
behind your sound. New styles can be added or played directly from floppy or
loaded onto the hard drive from a computer via the USB connection.
Powerful Sampling-- Korg has lots of experience in coupling samplers
to workstations and now they have incorporated it into an arranger keyboard. It
can read Wav files, AIFF Files and Akai samples. Sampled drum kits can be
sliced to create brand new drum kits, allowing you make your instrument sound
completely different from others.Sounds can then be filtered modified and
processed by the internal effects.

Pro 76 keybed action
The 76 key keybed, designed for the demanding professional as well for expert
pianists, has aftertouch and is velocity sensitive. The feel is great, and with
a natural piano shape keys and the semi-weighted action, nothing stands between
your inspiration and the music flow.
Configurable
You can configure and edit almost anything in the Pa2X Pro. You can modify and
save Styles, Pad, Performances, Sounds, Songs, SongBook, settings for Sliders,
Switches, Pedals, Global (Midi channels, output routings, etc.) and more for
both, internal and external control. Scales are fully programmable and include
Quarter Tone settings and a programmable Arabic Scale. If you are playing an
organ sound, you will enjoy using the 9 Sliders as Drawbars. With all of this
control, the Pa2X Pro also functions as a superb MIDI controller (Master
Keyboard). A complete Media edit section is available for files and folders
handling including load, save, delete, copy, rename, backup, restore, delete,
etc. functions for internal and external USB connected drives. During your
extensive editing sessions the internal clock will fix the correct date and
time in your files: another invaluable feature that all Pros will love! |
Guitar Track and Fixed NTT for Styles Guitar Mode
allows any musician to easily create realistic guitar parts using real guitar
neck positions. Guitar tracks are usually a challenge for every Style and Song
writer (possibly even more than the Drums track!). Mostly, the results of
guitar tracks entered into Styles and MIDI songs are artificial, unmusical
playing, often in need of deep editing. The Pa2X Pro, however, offers a unique
and powerful approach to program and play realistic guitar performances! The
Pa2X Pro arranger include also the Fixed NTT, a feature that moves as few notes
as possible while creating the style backing tracks, making legato lines and
chord changes far more natural for instruments like strings, piano, mute
guitar, etc. RX Technology at work: Listen - and Believe.
Connectivity
Naturally, the Pa2X Pro has all the connectivity you need including 4 separate
balanced/unbalanced analog audio outputs, 2 balanced/unbalanced analog line
inputs, 1 XLR/Combo Balanced Mic input with switchable Phantom Power, 1 USB
Device and 2 USB Host connections. And because the Pa2X Pro is a fully
professional product, the digital output (in S/P DIF coaxial format) is
standard. The optional VIF4 Graphical Video Interface (available in PAL or NTSC
standard formats) can display on an external TV monitor either just the lyrics
(useful for Karaoke) or clone the on board display. |
