Korg Pa1000 Arranger Workstation
KORG debuts the newest
High Performance Arranger in the acclaimed Pa-Series of Professional
Arrangers, the Pa1000. The
Pa1000 has plenty of new sounds (featuring
Defined Nuance Control for enhanced realism) which keep performances
fresh and exciting, as well as an enormous expanded range of styles
covering music genres from all over the world. Combine this with
powerful performance functionality, an intuitive user interface and
rich, sculpted sound and you have an Arranger for the most discerning
and demanding player.
The Pa1000 sound engine uses four times the PCM memory of the
best-selling Pa900 and extends the amount of User PCM memory to 600MB
using compression. The number of User Style locations has also expanded
to a maximum of 1,152 which will cover almost every style imaginable.
The improved built-in speaker system produces a strong, full-bodied
sound that's enhanced by standard features such as the TC Helicon Vocal
Harmonizer, a Dual MP3 player & recorder, and the Dual Crossfade
Sequencer. Video output is standardized, so your audience can sing along
to the onscreen lyrics. The Pa1000 packs all this in a high-quality
case with aluminium side-panels in an elegant chassis to provide a
prestigious look on any stage!
Totally new is the addition of KAOSS FX, which give you creative control on your performance.
From subtle morphing between Variations and Drum Kit types, fine mixing
between accompaniment Sounds, live reshaping of ongoing rhythms, to the
most radical note-crunching effects used by countless DJs, tape delay
and arpeggios, you can add 'liquid mixing' to any Style or MIDI Song
with the aid of easy-to-use computer-assisted composition features. Push
the boundaries of your musicality!
With more power than ever before and numerous long-awaited new features,
the Pa1000 sets a new standard for arranger workstations. A massive
leap forward from the legendary and best selling Pa900,
KORG has raised
the bar of excellence by offering newer, even more realistic sounds and
powerful new features, delivered in a slim and professional looking
design, at an even more affordable price.
