Introduction
Welcome to Pa5X!
Many thanks, and congratulations on purchasing the KORG Pa5X Professional
Arranger! We're sure it'll give you countless hours of enjoyment making great
music at home or on a stage.
Pa5X is an elegant and powerful music production workstation. It is easy to use,
with a clear user interface, based on the reclinable color touch screen, and the
illuminated buttons on the control panel showing color-coded functions. The nat-
urally responsive 88-note piano-like hammer-action keyboard, and the 76- and
61-note semi-weighted keyboards, are designed for a completely authentic feel
and full control of expression.
Robust and reliable, Pa5X is excellent as a live instrument, but it is also a pow-
erful creative tool in studio, helping you in writing songs or soundtracks, while
generating a produced sound that makes the perfect demo or ready-to-use me-
dia music.
The onboard sounds, based on our EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-
eXpanded) sound engine, range from ultra-realistic acoustic instruments, to
electric vintage keyboards, to synth classics, with the addition of fantasy sounds
and special effects for media and cinema production. We also included instru-
ments from various ages and cultures, leaving ample room for your own expan-
sions.
Pa5X is easy to control, via the KORG's DNC (Defined Nuance Control) system,
allowing the performer to accurately and expressively introduce the most subtle
nuances and sound articulation. Faders, switches, real and virtual matrices of
realtime controls, a joystick and a ribbon controller, allow for immediate access
to all the parameters of the sound.
The sounds are processed by an elaborate chain of effects, including final ef-
fects for each of the Players and for the Keyboard Sounds. The final mastering
effects on the audio outputs, making the instrument's sound 'blended' and 'pro-
duced', are the result of KORG's long term cooperation with Waves Audio, the
world reference in studio mastering effects.
To listen with the best audio quality, even at the lowest volume for rehearsing
at night, you can add the optional KORG PaAS Amplification System, which has
been specifically designed to connect directly to Pa5X.
