Korg 61-Key Pa5X Professional Arranger with Color Touch Screen

The Pa5X was designed with elegance and durability in mind, featuring a sturdy aluminum body and genuine wooden side panels for a luxurious appearance. All of the key beds on Pa5X provide an authentic feel and full control of expression for any playing situation. The 61-key version features lighter touch semi-weighted keys. All the key binds include after-touch control for added expressivity.

Modern and Streamlined User Interface

At the center of Pa5X is a large 8-inch Tiltable touchscreen that displays a completely redesigned GUI (graphical user interface). This makes all the sounds and features of Pa5X easily accessible to home and studio musicians as well as live performers. The colors in the display are carefully matched to the ones used in the LED programmable buttons on the control panel. This color-driven interface allows you to easily navigate Pa5X, adding color to your music.

Powerful EDS-XP Sound Engine for Rich and Inspiring Sounds

Korg Professional Arrangers has set the industry standard for powerful musical expression, featuring sound engines that inspire musicians to create and perform. Pa5X introduces the EDS-XP (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-Expanded) sound engine, which builds upon the technology used in Pa4X with advanced hardware and a powerful new operating system, taking sounds on Pa5X to a new level. The 24 stereo Oscillators and 160 voices of polyphony power thousands of high-quality sounds, covering a wide range of musical instruments and genres. The EDS-XP sound engine also introduces new cutting-edge features such as Round-Robin drum and percussion performance, Smooth Sound Transition, Sound-Controller 3 functionality, and much more.

Real-Time Controllers

Pa5X features a fully programmable control section with 9 buttons and 9 sliders. You can assign any function to it, from mixer volume to drawbar settings, from microphone mute to bass inversion, to lyrics scroll commands, and more. The assigned function is shown by an auxiliary strip display so that you always know what you have under your fingertips – even if you are on a different page from the main display. Numerous assignable controllers are available for expressive real-time playing and Korg's DNC (Defined Nuance Control) supplies so much of the detail in the sound of musical instruments.

Advanced Chord Recognition System and Full Library of Chord Sequences

Pa5X’s chord recognition system is the most sophisticated around, featuring an Expert mode that is crafted around the playing styles of the best modern jazz pianists. This chord recognition system can be as simple or advanced as desired, even allowing you to trigger chords with a single finger. With automatic harmonization, a chord sequencer, and a sophisticated chord recognition engine, Pa5X gives you the tools to create rich musical arrangements no matter what genre of music.

Smooth Transitions between Sounds, Styles, and Songs

Pa5X adds Smooth Sound Transition (SST) technology, allowing for seamless transitions between Sounds, Styles, and Songs without any interruption. When you select a different element, the sound, effects, and sequences will continue to play, fading away naturally until you are ready for the next sequence or note to begin, making for an uninterrupted and realistic performance.

Cutting-Edge Dual Crossfading Players

Pa5x can play two Styles, MIDI files, or MP3 files simultaneously and in any combination, made possible by the dual onboard Players. These two Players can be mixed with a handy crossfader or can be used to play a song while another one is waiting to start. Meanwhile, Pa5X's sound engine delivers the power, effects processing, and polyphony to make these transitions happen seamlessly.
