KORG
Korg is showing the latest additions to their Pa Series keyboard instruments - the Pa500 and the Pa2XPro. Unlike traditional workstations, these new "Songwriting Stations" are uniquely designed to benefit the songwriter and composer - regardless of keyboard ability. Instead of writing and recording every track individually, the Pa Series can follow the musician's chord changes as they are played, allowing drums, percussion, bass, piano/keyboard and more to be recorded in a single pass. Chords can also be stepped in manually, allowing the player to create quality backing tracks by simply reading a tab sheet.
Every pattern, groove and loop in the Pa keyboards can be edited, mixed or changed to match the feel of the song. One could even create a song as a country ballad, and then listen to it as driving funk anthem or Brazilian samba. This is extremely useful when a composer is asked to create a musical cue or segment in a style outside his or her normal genre. Korg's unique TouchView display provides intuitive control.
And of course, they sound great. Based on the EDS engine found in Korg's flagship M3 workstation, hundreds of dynamic, powerful sounds are instantly available; multiple effects add a polished touch to the sound.
The Pa2XPro adds T.C. Helicon studio-quality vocal effects - including automatic 3-part harmonies, allowing the singer/songwriter to sing along to the finished tracks. In addition, the Pa2XPro can record the final mix - vocals and all - as an MP3 file that the musician can then e-mail and share instantly.
