Korg PA1X Professional Arranger with Speakers and Touchview The all-new Korg Pa1X breaks new ground and opens up new territory for the composer, performer and entertainer who demand a musical companion second to none. Just take a look… The first thing you'll notice is the huge 240 x 320 full color TouchView display, taking Korg's intuitive access of multiple parameters to new heights. Next, the sleek aluminum panel and 61-key synth action (with aftertouch) will catch your eye. Eight assignable sliders, four assignable switches, a joystick and two fixed function faders are all designed to put the amazing power of the Pa1X at your fingertips. There is even an option for a hard drive that can store all your sound, song, sample and performance data for easy recall. It all begins with sound The Pa1X is the first Korg product based on our new RX Technology, using up to five oscillators to produce a detailed, sophisticated natural sound. Unparalleled levels of expression are supported by new sample data including natural vibratos, real trombone slides, tongued and overblown flutes, guitar pull-offs and harmonics, and so much more. We even found room to include our DSP modeled organ, and you can use the assignable sliders as realtime drawbars for amazing realism. All of the data from the "Real Drums" and "Turkish/Arabic World" Pa80 cards comes preloaded on the internal hard drive. The Pa1X delivers a generous 62 note polyphony and 828 Sounds, plus another 256 you can program yourself. Add to that 48 preset drum kits and 64 programmable drum kits! Sweeten the sound using the four stereo Master Effects (featuring 90 effect types), plus a set of Vocal Effects borrowed from the legendary TC-Helicon. The Pa1X is also an accomplished sampler, able to read .WAV, AIFF, Korg and AKAI samples/ multisamples. Sampled sounds can be sliced to create new grooves and kits, assigned to Sounds, or filtered, modified and processed by the internal effects. Standard sample memory is 16MB, expandable to 32 MB. Deeply defined musical Styles The Pa1X is packed with 450 fully editable musical styles, created by a team of the world's top musicians to enhance your compositions and performances - with room for over 150 more! Each Style contains eight accompaniment parts - use one or two to add drums and bass, or use all eight to throw a full big-band behind your sound. Authentic picking patterns teamed with our new RX guitar sounds bring even simple Styles to life. Four variations, three intros, two endings, three fills, a break and a count-in further enrich each Style. The Pa1X scans your playing to keep the accompaniment in key with your playing, recognizing a multitude of chord variations. New styles can be loaded in or played directly via the floppy drive. Up to four Sounds can be split and stacked across the keyboard and played in real time - either by themselves or with a Style. The four STS (Single Touch Setting) commands call up an entirely new set of sounds for your r
