BOLD CLAIM: ONE OF THE BEST ONE-MAN-BAND KEYBOARDS; EVER…
INTRO: ALL HAIL, THE KING OF ALL ARRANGER WORKSTATIONS!!!! THE ONE AND ONLY, THE ONLY ONE YOU'D EVER NEED, THE LIMITLESS, MAGICAL, MOST AMAZING, BEST OF THE BEST, ONE MAN BAND...THE MIGHTY FLAGSHIP, THAT IS KORG PA1X-PRO!!!
COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BOX, and the Music Stand!
CONDITION: This MUSICIAN'S DREAM-GEAR is FULLY FUNCTIONAL, and I would say it is in EXCELLENT condition! However, and respectfully, since everyone has different standards, please don't take my word for it; I'll let the pictures do the talking. 🙂
SERVICE HISTORY: I am sure that if you are looking at this item, you know everything about it. So, I will first tell you about this particular gem:
IT HAS JUST BEEN FULLY INSPECTED/SERVICED AND IS READY FOR A NEW HOME!
The following services were just done, which cost me over $350! IF you find another one for less than what mine is selling for, and since most of the used ones out there, that are supposed to be "fully functional", turn out NOT to be; you will then need to find someone who would work on these (which is very rare nowadays), and then who knows how much it would cost to make it fully functional??! CONDITION IS EVERYTHING!
SERVICES DONE:
- Full inspection
- Load tested for 2 hours
- Factory reset performed
- Key-bed serviced
- All sliders/knobs serviced
- All switches serviced
- All contacts cleaned
- All buttons serviced
- Cleaned inside and out
IT HAS BEEN HARDLY USED, and is still in the factory original box! NEW SOLD FOR $3499.99!!! So, at this price, and in this condition; IT IS A BARGAIN!!!
PERSONAL OPINION: After trying it on/having fun with it (the best part about what I do with every single synth I get/have 😄), these are my professional insights/opinions about this magnificent machine:
- SIMPLY, SUPERB!
- It is even BETTER than the ones that came out later, like the PA3X! (Better built quality, better rhythms…)
- Has AfterTouch!
- Solidly built! They don’t make them like this anymore!
- Timeless! It is old-enough to be part of the well-built generation; and new-enough to have all the modern sounds and technologies!
- THE BEST GIG WORKSTATION/KEYBOARD!
- PERFECT FOR A ONE-MAN BAND
- SUUUUPERB SEQUENCER!
- AMAZING RYTHMS!
- SUPER REALISTIC SOUNDS!
- EXPANDABLE/LIMITLESS!
- GORGEOUS/MODERN/BEAUTIFUL...
- SUPER EASY INTERFACE/SIMPLE LAYOUT
- SUPERB/LARGE TOUCHSCREEN LCD
- AMAZING EFFECTS/FILTERS
- TONS OF OPTIONS FOR CONNECTIVITY
- HUUUUUGE LIBRARY OF SOUNDS/BEATS/ARP. ALL YOU CAN EAT; EVER... 😄
- BREATHTAKINGLY REALISTIC DRUMS!
- VERY USER FRIENDLY
- AMAZING/VERY THOUGHTFUL FEATURES; based on the musician's needs...
- TONS OF CONTROLS
- IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT!!!
- LIMITLESS, SUPERB, AMAZING...
After playing with it for a bit, I was pretty much speechless... this thing is a BEAST! 😄
The biggest compliment I can give is that IT IS AN INSPIRATION MACHINE!!! Every random hit on the keyboard/patch turns into a song! You will never be short of an idea! It is truly amazing...

READ ALL ABOUT THIS DEVICE BELOW! (under "some specs from the web")
WHY BUY FROM ME: Are you tired of buying used gear that doesn’t work properly/isn’t what it was supposed to be? WE (me and my wife) OFFER SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE IS OFFERING! When you buy from us, you get a gear that: has been FULLY INSPECTED/SERVICED, is FULLY FUNCTIONAL (unless stated otherwise), has been FULLY DETAILED AND SANITIZED, and comes with NO SURPRISES!
After you buy (before shipping), WE DO A FINAL INSPECTION (while taking a video as proof) making sure everything is still as it should be. Then WE PACK IT PROFESSIONALLY (preventing damages from occurring during its journey), and ALWAYS PURCHASE SHIPPING INSURANCE (unless not available) to protect both party’s investment/for peace of mind. Also, WE RECYCLE / (if possible) RE-USE EVERYTHING, to help reduce our carbon foot-print.
IF YOU LOVE SYNTHS, PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS, AND MAYBE SHARE WITH FRIENDS/FOLLOW? Your support would give me the fuel to continue my mission, which is to bring as many of these old beauties back to life as possible, and preserve these treasures for the future generations. Also, I have a list of some of my favorite keyboards available for sale at the bottom of this ad; be sure to check it out.
THIS WOULD MAKE AN AMAZING GIFT FOR ALL OCCASIONS, INCLUDING CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY... 😉
Please feel free to ask me any questions; I will try my best to find the answers for you.
Also, let me know if you need any more pictures.
Thank you,
Kevin
P.s. I PACK SAFE and SHIP FAST!
A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
I am a 46-year-old, with a degree in Electronics Engineering, who LOVES Synthesizers, sounds, Music, and Electronics in general. Even though I do not work in the Electronics industry; I have always loved/adored it, never separated from it; and as a hobby, I collect and restore them; and sometimes sell them to make room for others...
I've been around Synthesizers for over three decades, have serviced/restored hundreds of them, and have hundreds of the rarest/most sought-after synthesizers/keyboards available for sale. (which is one of the largest selections of used synthesizers found in one place!)
WHY BUY FROM ME? (full version)
When you're buying a vintage (or just a used) car, does the condition matter? Of course it does! 😊 Are two used cars that are the same make and model the same? Would all similar (year, make and model) cars sell at the same price? No; there are many factors that would decide what price they fetch. Mileage, body, functionality, extra options, service history, past use... and one of the most important ones is CONDITION, which is everything! That is the reason a factory certified used Mercedes, fetches at least $4000 more, than the one you'd buy from a private seller you find on Craigslist.😊That's why when it comes to buying a used car, price is not everything... And buying a secondhand synthesizer, is no different than purchasing a vintage or used car.
Yes, I'm proud of my children for sure. Mainly because when it comes to used keyboards and synths (just like used cars), condition is EVERYTHING! I have searched hard, hand-picked and collected only the best of the best that are in pristine condition (majority of them); and then had them professionally inspected, serviced/repaired (if needed), reprogrammed/restored (if needed), detailed...
There's definitely value in that. On average, I spend about 5 hours on every single keyboard, before offering it for sale, and if they're not serviced, or if they don't pass the inspection, I DON’T SELL THEM! I believe in selling ONLY high-quality items, to ensure that my clients are very happy with their purchase, which produces repeats, referrals and customers for life! 😁Not to mention the professional musicians that need to count on their instrument's reliability, as their livelihood depends on it. I have the biggest respect/admiration for the professional musicians, and want them to have peace of mind when they step on the stage…
In contrast, when it comes to USED GEAR FROM OTHER SOURCES, including the major retailers, you'd have to keep your fingers crossed until it arrives... And most often, they are NOT WHAT THEY WERE DESCRIBED TO BE, and most often, there is something wrong with the gear (as I am sure you, just like me, have experienced many times before). And often enough turn into headaches or heartaches...
However, you can rest assured, that if you buy from me, you will get a fully functional gear, and you'll get to see tons of details and pictures, before making up your mind! 🙂
No retailer would service them prior to the sale (they don’t even wipe it down!), as it costs an additional $300-$400! Not to mention finding a Synth Tech is extremely difficult/costly nowadays! And that is what I do, as a labor of love! I do this because I really enjoy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about synthesizers! Buying, selling, fixing, collecting, playing...I just love them! 😍
And finally, CUSTOMER SERVICE, which is also one of the major factors in retail/buying. I try my very best to provide everyone with the best possible service and experience; a fun one!I do this in a timely manner, even/specially after the sale, which is often where most sellers disappear, or just don't care/reply...
Also, I am a HUGE believer in preserving, not just synthesizers (especially vintage!), but also our planet! So, I recycle EVERYTHING, and re-use as many parts as I can (fully functioning parts from donors), to help reduce our carbon foot-print.
If you've made it this far on this very long scroll 😄, you have my biggest thank you!
SOME SPECS FROM THE WEB:
(The following information is from the web, and not my words, so I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the statements, but believe them to be accurate, to the best of my limited knowledge on this instrument)
The Korg Pa1X Pro is a 76-key professional arranger workstation perfect for composers and live performers. Based on Korg's RX technology, the Pa1X Pro uses up to five oscillators for a natural, detailed sound. Subtle details such as trombone slides, guitar pull-offs, and natural vibratos have been included with the supplied voices for added realism. You can also sample your own sounds thanks to the Pa1X's ability to read WAV, AIFF, Korg, and AKAI samples and multisamples. The included 16MB of sample memory can be expanded up to 32MB.
The front panel of the Pa1X Pro is full-featured and intuitive, with the large full-color TouchView display at the center for showing settings, menus, and more. Eight assignable sliders, four assignable switches, a pitch/modulation lever, and two volume sliders put all controls at your fingertips. The Pa1X Pro also offers full sequencing capabilities with the XDS Dual Sequencer, which allows one song to load while another plays, DJ-style cross fading, or simultaneous playback for an arrangement with up to 40 parts.
The Pa1X Pro sports a full compliment of analog audio I/Os, two sets of MIDI I/Os, a S/PDIF coaxial output, and a USB port for ultimate connectivity to external speakers, analog and digital instruments, microphones, and computers.
