The Korg PA4X Oriental is a 61 note professional arranger offering only the highest quality sounds, styles and tunings that are essential for a whole range musical genres from western through to Oriental styles. No matter whether you want to play Arabic, Persian, Turkish or western style music, the oriental is full of specially sampled sounds and styles to ensure professional results.
Incredible Sound: EDS-X/ DNC Technology
Korg set a new standard with the EDS-X and DNC sound technologies which combined offer up a pallet of extraordinary sounds. There are over 1650 sounds to choose from selected to cover all genres of music. More importantly the sound detail brings true realism to your performance. Acoustic instruments from piano and guitars right through to electronic and EDM sounds are covered. The PA4X Oriental has a specially chosen selection of oriental sounds such as Kanun, Oud, Strings a whole range of Arabic drum kits and much more.
DNC (Digital Nuance Control) adds natural expressions and articulations only the original instruments could originally produce. Violins can be played with trills, saxophones can have glissando runs, guitars can have harmonics and all triggered at the touch of a button. DNC brings a new level of reality to your playing without players having to learn a new technique.
Styles For Everyone
Even though the PA4X Oriental is equipped with over 190 specially developed Oriental/Arabic styles, it is also packed with a huge choice of world class styles we all know and love from pop and rock through to movie and show and everything in-between. there is over 650 styles to choose from in this keyboard and will keep you entertained for many years to come.
Special Quarter Tone Custom Memory
Oriental music uses very different tuning to standard western music and all of the tunings can be customised and saved for instant recall in to 15 memory banks. Each individual note of the scale can be tuned to your liking and with a 15 memory capacity it is quick and easy to change scaling for any genre of music.
Easy To Use: Colour Touch Screen
Both this and the PA4X 76 Oriental models feature a colour, tilting, 7inch capacitive touch screen display. The layout is designed for clarity and quick navigation so your performance can flow and editing, creating and customising virtually all aspects of the instrument is done clearly and easily. The screen can also lock at differing angles to suit your playing position or lighting.
MIDI File To Style Conversion
Many keyboards can play styles, and many keyboards can play MIDI files, but the PA4X is capable of converting a MIDI file into a style! So instead of the whole song just playing through, you can take control and play the perfect style for your performance in any way you want to play it, instead of being fixed by the linear flow of the song playback. It is easy to do, quick and the results are great. It also allows you to completely customise the sounds, effects and balances of the style just like any other style so you can bring out the best in your performance.
Powerful Effects Processing
Having high quality sounds and styles is great but of the effects are weak, then the results will be weak. The PA4X Oriental is equipped with a huge selection of detailed, top notch effects processing to bring out the best in your music. The effects processor offers 148 different effects types which can all be changed to your liking. The styles can have up to 4 insert effects and 3 master effects running simultaneously whilst the sound parts can have 1 insert effect and 2 master effects simultaneously.
Double MP3 and MIDI File Player/Recorder
Korg PA4X Oriental can record and playback MP3 or MIDI files of your performance. When using the MP3 recorder it is even possible to record your vocal at the same time as your performance and create a high quality recording of your song. Recording a standard MIDI file is easy and up to 16 tracks can be recorded/ layered to create your musical masterpiece. As with all MIDI data, the MIDI file can be edited in detail right down to individual note level or for simply balancing, and mastering with effects - the PA4X can do it all.
Being a double player, you can play one song whilst preparing the next for playback. A cross-fader situated right in the middle allows you to cross-fade between the 2 files, very much DJ style!
