KORG PX-4D Guitar & Bass Effects Unit
Great Guitar AND Bass Effects and Amp Models!
Since its introduction, the Korg Pandora series has been a hit with guitarists and bassists for its high-quality sound, versatile functionality, and superb operability - all in an amazingly compact package. And now a new model, the PX4D, joins the series. The PX4D combines both guitar and bass functionality into a single unit. Its comprehensive range of sounds includes vintage amps and a wide range of cabinets, as well as effects ranging from classic to distinctively unique. It's a great choice not only for practicing, but for any situation that demands great guitar or bass sound, including recording and live performance. Korg Pandora PX4D Effects/Amp Modeler at a Glance:
High-quality effects utilizing "REMS" modeling technology The PX4D contains 158 effects that deliver vintage amp sounds and much more. From high-end tube amps to rare vintage amps and classic favorites, the 25 amp types faithfully model the amp sounds that guitarists and bassists seek. Each of the 23 cabinet effects that reproduce the acoustic and structural resonances of a speaker cabinet were newly created especially for the PX4D.The creative possibilities are limitless - you can even combine a guitar amp with a bass cabinet. In addition to standards such as compressor and wah, there are numerous realistic modeling effects that deliver a versatile range of tones. The PX4D's pickup modeling transforms the sound of a single-coil pickup into that of a humbucking pickup (or vice versa), a guitar (bass) synth that lets you play synth sounds, an intelligent pitch shifter that automatically harmonizes with your playing, a talk effect that produces the impression that your guitar is speaking, a slow attack effect that creates violin-type swells, a feedback effect that allows feedback playing techniques that are normally possible only at high volumes, a rotary speaker that changes speed in response to your picking or fingering dynamics, a fretless bass effect that simulates the distinctive sound of a fretless bass, and many more are ready for your use. Amp-like ease of operation The PX4D's user interface is knob-based for intuitive and easy use. Frequently-used parameters, such as the amp type, have their own independent dial, and the tone controls can also be adjusted as easily as on a guitar or bass amp simply by turning the knobs. The value dial makes it a simple matter to adjust amp types and parameter values. There's also a TAP button on the PX4D that you can use to set delay times or the tempo of a rhythm pattern. One hundred rhythm and bass patterns The Korg Pandora PX4D Effects/Amp Modeler provides 100 built-in rhythm patterns cover a broad range of styles that include rock, jazz, funk, blues and dance music. The PCM sounds used in these patterns produce realistic accompaniments that are fun to play along with. There are even Bass patterns in the PX4D that let you specify the key chord, so you can practice any style of music while listening to a full rhythm and bass line. Since you can use the effect programs at the same time as these patterns, this is a great way to practice your picking, improve your rhythm or develop your sense of pitch. You can also make Chain Pattern settings to combine up to sixteen different rhythm patterns. Phrase Trainer function helps you practice and learn With the PX4D you can record up to 31.7 seconds from an audio source such as a CD, MD or MP3, and play it back repeatedly (looped) at a slower speed without changing the pitch. This is a great way to learn complex or rapid passages by ear, since you'll be able to hear the phrase slowly. You can also use the PX4D to record a phrase that you play yourself along with the built-in rhythm and bass accompaniment, and then practice soloing over the top of it. Mix your own playing with the playback of an audio source You can connect a CD player or another external audio source to the PX4D's AUX IN jack, and use the Key Transpose function to change the pitch of the song upward or downward by as much as one octave. The PX4D also contains a Bass Canceller function that erases the bass sound from an external audio source so that you can play and hear your bass along with the song. Semitransparent LCD for superb visibility The LCD that displays the names of PX4D effects and programs is backlit so you can read it easily even on a dimly lit stage. Immediately recognizable icons represent numerous functions. The display uses a semitransparent LCD so that characters and icons are lit up when backlit, providing a distinctive appearance. The PX4D also comes with a strap holder so that you can attach it directly to your instrument strap. Korg Pandora PX4D Effects/Amp Modeler Features:
