A new a multitasking operating system has been developed for speedy operation and with the latest solid-state disk, and a revolutionary new crossfading double sequencer (XDS), this new keyboard will bring the benefits of Korgs revolutionary songwriting and music production/performance to a whole new generation of musicians.

Styles

The Korg PA50 keyboard boasts eight accompaniment tracks, two more than on previous keyboards, and its really easy to play styles. Each Style can recall its own Performance, including the settings for the accompaniment tracks and four settings for the real-time tracks. The style sounds and Settings can be freely programmed and stored on the internal memory.

Performance Features

Each of the four pads on the front panel can be assigned to either a percussion or effect sound. These pads can also be used to provide instant access to a variety of PA50 functions such as muting the effects, selecting the next Style, or even assigning Quarter Tones on the fly. Along with the Joystick; the synchronized start/stop, fade in and out, tap tempo, accompaniment reset and other front panel functions are available at your fingertips.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED

Ease-of-use has driven the styling with a logical control panel and linear structuring to give you fast access to the most commonly used functions at the touch of a button. Selecting a Style, Program, Performance or Single Touch Setting has never been easier.

Great Sequencing

In addition to the traditional real-time and step-time sequencing available on upper echelon workstations, the PA50 also features Korgs unique Backing Sequencer, which can capture up to eight tracks of Style accompaniment and up to eight tracks of real time playing in a single pass. This Backing Sequencer data can be edited in powerful and musical ways, speeding the realization of your musical ideas.

Where traditional workstations provide an empty palette to start from, the PA50's Backing Sequencer takes advantage of the accompaniment system to provide you with as little or as much of a band as you need. In performance, nothing beats the revolutionary XDS Dual Sequencer found in the PA50. With fully independent transport controls for each sequencer and a DJ style crossfader, the Pa50 can provide a seamless and satisfying performance. Korgs unique "Jukebox" mode allows you to create various "set lists" so the PA50 can perform a whole set with you - nonstop! The PA50 is completely compatible with GM and SMF files. Lyrics embedded in SMF sequences are shown in the Display.

TONE GENERATION

The sound generation itself is based on Korgs acclaimed Triton HI system, making the Korg PA50 one of the first entertainment keyboard to sound exactly like a professional synthesiser. All the classical sounds, and particularly the solo instruments such as saxophone, trumpet, flute, guitar and piano, have been improved. Theyve even added a Drawbars sounds set to give a true simulation of the classic organ sound. You can edit all Programs as you play using the Easy Program Edit functions and use any of the four powerful Master Effect processors including reverbs, delays, equalizers, exciters, overdrives, sound decimators and ring modulators.

Effects

Pa50 includes four powerful Master Effect processors, including all of Tritons studio-level Master Effects. You can use them for a Song, or split them in two sections, to assign two of them to the realtime tracks, and the remaining two to the Style tracks.
