Korg PA-5X 61 Musikant

Korg PA-5X 61 Musikant

With the Pa5X MUSIKANT (61 keys), KORG releases an extensively equipped arranger keyboard flagship especially for the German-speaking market (and BeNeLux). The Pa5X MUSIKANT, with its completely redesigned sound engine and user interface, features a special user interface that makes the keyboard easier and better to use than its predecessors: logical color codes that run through many layers, large displays and buttons, photo-quality icons, clear graphics, thousands of inspiring sounds and lively styles for almost every musical genre. German-language labels on both the control panel and many of the display menus also add to the ease of use.

The KORG Pa5X MUSICIAN with 61 lightly weighted keys uniquely - and only in the Pa5X - has two completely independent players that can play styles, midifiles and MP3 files - in any combination! So it is also possible to mix two styles or even play them synchronously. "Smooth Sound Transition" ensures that no notes or effects are cut off during crossfading or switching.

Many new styles and timbres, especially produced for the local culture, such as acapella band, party choirs, accordion and many more are included in MUSIKANT. Also included are acoustic and electric piano sounds from the KORG SV2 stage piano, synthesizer sounds come from e.g. NAUTILUS, wavestate, ARP2600. A special round-robin function provides ultra-authentic and lively drum sounds. All these new sounds can of course be found in the styles that have been programmed especially for the MUSIKANT and the German-speaking entertainer.

The keyboard has a high-quality finish with an elegant look, wooden side panels nestle against a sturdy aluminum case. Real-time control of many parameters is very easy thanks to an additional strip display and the corresponding buttons and faders, because the display always actively shows the value of the respective parameter. Loading processes are a thing of the past, all files and styles are available at the touch of a finger, no matter on which connected medium they are stored. An open memory structure allows virtually infinitely large user folders, in which as much as the up to 1TB large SD memory card (optional) allows. This makes it very easy to combine data from different users.

A powerful mixer with built-in finalizer levels all styles and files to the same volume level. A large chord sequence library invites you to jam, and the 8-inch, tiltable and lockable touch display in tablet quality shows all chords, lyrics and (midifile) notes in high-resolution.

The microphone connection (combo jack) is joined by a separate guitar input with its own gain, and up to four guitar effects can be stored as presets and recalled per track in the freely programmable songbook. A four-voice harmonizer is also on board, as well as an autopitch function for contemporary vocal performance.
