The latest addition to Korg's Pa line is truly in a class by itself. Although it shares many features with its Pa80 & Pa60 siblings, the all-new Pa1X Pro breaks new ground and opens up new territory for the composer, performer and entertainer who demand a musical companion second to none.
Just take a look...
The first thing you'll notice is the huge 240 x 320 full color TouchView display, taking Korg's intuitive access of multiple parameters to new heights. Next, the sleek aluminum panel and 76 semi-weighted keys (with aftertouch) will catch your eye. Eight assignable sliders, four assignable switches, a joystick and two fixed function faders are all designed to put the amazing power of the Pa1X Pro at your fingertips. Hidden inside, the hard drive can store all your sound, song, sample and performance data for easy recall.
It all begins with sound
The Pa1X Pro is the first Korg product based on our new RX Technology, designed to produce a detailed, sophisticated natural sound.
Sampling
The Pa1X Pro is also an accomplished sampler, able to read .WAV, AIFF, Korg and AKAI samples/multisamples. Sampled sounds can be sliced to create new grooves and kits, assigned to Sounds, or filtered, modified and processed by the internal effects. Standard sample memory is 16MB, expandable to 32 MB.
Deeply defined musical Styles
The Pa1X Pro is packed with over 350 fully editable musical styles
Taking Requests?
Using the exclusive SongBook function, you can select a song from the vast user-defined database and instantly call up the correct sounds, style, tempo, key, effects - every setting needed to play that song!
Creative sequencing scenarios
The Pa1X Pro uses our XDS Dual Sequencer, so one can load as the other plays, and a DJ style cross fader can blend between them.
Flexible connectivity
The Pa1X Pro comes equipped with two pairs of audio outputs plus two pairs of MIDI Ins & Outs. You'll also find two audio inputs, one of which can be switched to a balanced MIC input with separate gain control. As a central piece of your growing digital studio, the Pa1X Pro also sports a coaxial S/P DIF output.
A USB port allows you to easily move data back and forth between a personal computer and the internal hard drive of the Pa1X Pro.
Powerful Options
Adding an MP3 encoder/ player will allow you to record your entire performance - vocals and all - and play it back or save it for later. You can load MP3 files to play during a break, or even play along. Install the optional CD-R drive, and you'll be able to play audio CDs as well as load in new sounds styles and .WAV/AIFF/KORG/AKAI samples. Embedded SMF lyrics appear in the TouchView display, or can be sent to a video monitor using the Video Interface kit. The TC-Helicon Voice Processor can be upgraded from voice doubling and 4-part harmonies to include state-of-the-Art Pitch Correction and Voice Modeling!

Before, I was terrified on stage. I only play guitar during the acoustic songs. After a while, you can elicit certain responses from the crowd, like Elvis. Andy Gibb
