Korg PA700 ORIENTAL

The Pa700 in the ORIENTAL version features a mini keyboard for quick selection or adjustment of specific tunings. In addition to the standard sounds we are used to with the classic Pa700, it includes a number of other sounds and styles that are specific to the Middle East region - i.e. various plucked instruments, percussion, etc., which are further complemented by a number of specific Styles suitable for both traditional and modern music.

The Korg Pa 700 is a professional arranger that further extends the capabilities of the best-selling Pa 600 model. It offers a large number of new sounds and accompaniment styles covering almost all musical genres, a greatly expanded memory, an mp3+G player/sequencer for displaying lyrics, the ability to connect a microphone and guitar, and a built-in KAOSS FX effects unit.

A dynamic keyboard is used for control, and a range of controls and a touchscreen display are located directly on the front panel, so you have all parameters under your control instantly.

The EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded) sound engine contains over 1000 sounds covering everything from electric pianos, orchestral and acoustic instruments to registers suitable for electronic music production. Of course, there's a precision-amplified concert grand piano with stereo sound and emulation of string resonance. There are also organs (including the sound of the valves), winds, strings, guitars, in short, everything you can think of. Whether you want to play techno or folk, the Pa 1000 won't let you down.

Not enough factory sounds for you? You can easily add your own sound banks to the arranger in GM, Korg, Wav, Aiff or SoundFont formats.

Listeners will get the full experience from your performance with 370 built-in styles, covering just about every musical genre. Each style can be further enhanced with 4 fills and breaks, or you can store your own samples, riffs, percussion parts or sound effects in the corresponding pads. The manufacturers haven't forgotten to support the Standard MIDI format, so you can immediately load the backing tracks of the latest hits into the arranger.

To make matters worse, the arranger is equipped with the best studio-quality effects from the Korg Library. Choose from 140 effects covering reverbs, delays, or simulations of effects and vintage instruments. 2 inserts and 2 master effects can be used for accompaniments, 1 insert and 1 master effect for real-time keyboard sounds.

If you're playing with a guitarist or vocalist, you can plug their instrument or dynamic microphone directly into the arranger and further process it independently with effects. Of course, there's a sophisticated sequencer with sixteen tracks, easy organisation of backing tracks using the SongBook database and extended connectivity with USB and MIDI.
