Korg Pa1000 61 Key Professional Arranger Keyboard

Explore New Horizons with the Korg Pa1000 61 Key Professional Arranger Keyboard

Korg unveils the Pa1000, a standout addition to its renowned Pa-Series of Professional Arrangers. This high-performance arranger revolutionizes live music with its array of new, realistic sounds, featuring Defined Nuance Control for a more authentic experience. Its extensive library covers a broad spectrum of global music genres, ensuring performances are always vibrant and diverse. Designed for the sophisticated and demanding musician, the Pa1000 combines powerful performance capabilities with an intuitive interface and rich sound quality, making it a versatile tool for any stage.

The sound engine of the Pa1000 represents a significant upgrade, utilizing quadruple the PCM memory of the Pa900 and increasing user PCM memory to 600MB through efficient compression. It offers an impressive 1,152 user style locations, accommodating virtually every musical genre. The arranger's sound is further enriched by an advanced built-in speaker system, featuring key elements such as the TC Helicon Vocal Harmonizer, a dual MP3 player and recorder, and a Dual Crossfade Sequencer. The addition of standardized video output enhances audience engagement, allowing for lyric display during performances. Encased in an elegant chassis with aluminium side-panel inserts, the Pa1000 exudes a sophisticated stage presence.

Korg's introduction of KAOSS FX to the Pa1000 marks a leap forward in creative performance control. This feature allows for seamless morphing between variations and drum kit types, fine-tuning of accompaniment sounds, and real-time rhythm adjustments. It also enables the incorporation of advanced DJ effects like tape delay and arpeggios. These features, combined with user-friendly composition tools, encourage musicians to push the boundaries of their creativity. Building upon the legacy of the Pa900, the Pa1000 sets a new standard in arranger workstations with its powerful features, sleek design, and affordability, solidifying Korg's position as a leader in the world of professional music equipment.
