DISCONTINUED PRODUCT ARCHIVE
==============================
This product has now been discontinued in the UK and information supplied here is for reference only.

Configurable

You can configure and edit almost anything in the Pa1X. Styles, Performances and Programs can all be fully modified and saved. Settings for Sliders, Switches, Pads, Global (Midi channels, output routings, etc.) can also be modified and saved. Scales are fully programmable and include quarter tone settings and a programmable Arabic Scale. If you are playing an organ sound, you will enjoy the using the Sliders as Drawbars.

With all of this control, the Pa1X functions as a superb MIDI controller (Master Keyboard).

Connectivity

Naturally, the Pa1X has all the connectivity you need including 4 separate audio outs, 2 line ins, 1 XLR input for microphone, a USB (driver) connection and a digital S/PDIF coaxial output with better than CD quality output.

Compatibility

Even though the Pa1X is all new, it is also compatible with the old i-series Style, Performance, Song files of Pa60 and Pa80 products. And all your Pa60 & Pa80 sound programs work in the Pa1X as well. Keep your favourite sounds and styles while benefiting from a cutting edge keyboard.

The Pa1X also supports the main musical formats like SMF (Standard Midi File), Karaoke files, CD-Audio (with optional CDR), MP3 files (with optional MP3 board) and GM (General Midi).

Of course, the Pa1X is able to show lyrics in the most popular karaoke (*kar) formats. With the optional Vif3 video interface (PAL & NTSC) you can show lyrics in the most popular karaoke formats.

USB

A USB connection (Driver) allows you to connect your Pa1X to a computer (Mac OS 9.x, OSX and Win 2000/XP). It’s never been easier to organize, edit, process, copy or create back-ups of your music.

Accurate Speaker System (Pa1X only)

Some companies add speakers to a finished keyboard, almost as an after thought. Do the speakers really match the sound output of the keyboard? But Korg was driven by the pursuit of RX Technology. To achieve a stunning sound, we decided to get the best possible sound system and then design the keyboard around that. The result? A sound system in an Arranger keyboard that will amaze and delight you, and ensure your audience believes they are listening to the real thing!

The Pa1X uses a powerful, high quality custom designed bi-amplified two way bass-reflex box speaker system driven by studio quality power amplifiers. The speakers match the amplifier and faithfully reproduce the detail of the Pa1X sound engine.

Volume? The Pa1X has more power than ever before! Whether you use it to play internal sounds and styles or maybe just to listen to an audio CD, the Pa1X gives you the best sound system in an Arranger keyboard.

Expandable & Updatable

Even though it comes with almost every feature you could want, the Pa1X has many useful expansion options:

- Video interface: allow you to display lyrics on external TV,
- MP3 player/encoder: this options allows you to record entire performances (including vocals, audio input files etc) in MP3 format, or you can load in MP3 files to play along with or maybe to provide background music during live gig breaks,
- The optional CD-R can play your CD-Audio, load files such as Akai samples, new styles and sounds etc into your Pa1X,
- Up to 32mB of RAM with optional 16mB standard SIMMs
- Up to 2 slots available for PCM ROM expansion for up to 32mB of PCM ROM expansion (up to 512 extra sounds and 128 drum kits)

Not only can you expand your Pa1X, you can also easily keep it new with operating system updates. These updates are available as free downloads from www.korgpa.com and will ensure your investment is protected!

Keybed

Korg has provided the best weighted keybed available – designed and built in European both in 61 key (Pa1X) and in 76 key (Pa1X Pro) versions. Both keyboards are velocity sensitive and, naturally, have after touch.

Two Models

The Pa1X is a complete performing system including a 61 key synth-style weighted keybed and a high quality bi-amplified two way speaker system: perfect for live and home use.

The Pa1X Pro features a piano-shaped 76 key synth-style weighted keybed for the demanding professional looking at the best possible playing feel. The Pa1X Pro has also a hard disk as standard.

Real eXperience

By now, you will have read about the realistic and natural sounds, the professional features, the powerful partnerships, the incredible technology the Pa1X gives you and be tempted to play one as soon as possible! Please do, but remember this: every single feature, idea and sound was not put in to show off technology.

We are working musicians too. We don’t want any more empty promises either. Promises that don’t deliver. Short cuts that save time and money but frustrate the performer. Sound quality that doesn’t sound real to an audience. Keyboards that are too hard to use, or take too long to perform simple actions. Compromises.

RX was the thinking process behind every design decision we made:

Is it useful?
Does it sound real?
Does it feel real?
Will professionals and hobbyists alike be overwhelmed by the richness of the sound?
Will the audience be swept up in the performance?
Will they believe?

Is it the best we can do?

We believe the Pa1X is the result of RX Technology combined with great engineers and an unsurpassed passion for music and sound.
