KORG PA1X-PRO ELITE Professional Arranger Keyboard
The Korg PA 1X PRO ELITE 76-Key Professional Arranger Keyboard. Powerful arranger keyboard - the most complete tool for the musical professional ever conceived. The Korg PA 1X PRO ELITE breaks new ground and opens up new territory for composers, performers and entertainers who demand a musical companion second to none. Korg's flagship arranger - the Pa1X Pro - has been upgraded to include the MP3 encoder option and CD-RW drive as standard equipment, at no additional cost. The Pa1X Pro Elite provides more hardware and control (internal hard drive, balanced mic input, real-time mixing and drawbar control), more expansion options (PCM expansions, TC Helicon voice modeling/pitch correction) and a 76 note, semi-weighted keyboard. There are a staggering 350 musical styles included with the Pa1X Pro Elite, and the potential to download or simply play many more via the floppy drive. For each style you have the possibility of eight accompaniment parts, four variations, two intros and endings, three fills, a break and a count-in. The accompaniment will be automatically altered to remain in key with your playing. The 62 notes of polyphony may seem generous, but with 760 preset sounds, and an additional 512 you can program yourself, you may find you will need it. On top of this you can make use of 48 preset and 128 programmable drum kits. The Korg Pa1X Pro Elite has two sequencers and one can play while the other is loading. This function makes this an ideal performance keyboard and a DJ style cross fader can blend between the two sequencers to really add a professional touch. For the really ambitious, both sequencers can be sync'd to produce a staggering 40 part arrangement. The sequencers afford immense editing power, and are compatible with SMF and Karaoke files. A vast user defined database of preset songs, with accompanying style, sound, tempo and effects, means you can find and play requests with minimum hassle. The sampling features of the Pa1X Pro Elite enable sampled sounds to be sliced, assigned to preset sounds, or edited. The standard sample memory of 16MB can be doubled if necessary and the sample is able to read .WAV, AIFF, Korg and AKAI samples and multisamples. The Pa1X Elite has two slots available for the addition of optional user installable 16Mb Korg sound upgrade boards. These can provide up to 512 extra sounds and 128 extra drum kits. A USB connection (Slave) allows you to connect your Pa1X Elite to a computer (Mac OS X, Win 98, 2000, XP). It’s never been easier to organize, edit, process, copy or create back-ups of your music. The main features of the Korg PA 1X PRO ELITE include:
