Korg Pa700 Professional Arranger Keyboard, Oriental

Full Description

Compact and Intuitive Design

The Korg Pa700 Professional Arranger has a lightweight and compact design with a stunning aesthetic. The slim enclosure houses a high-quality, custom designed system with two 25W amplifiers and two dual cone speakers within a bass reflex box. The Pa700 arranger features an intuitive and ergonomic layout with every control positioned so that you can reach them quickly and easily. The large TouchView TFT display has a redesigned graphic interface that is easy to read regardless of the lighting environment and performance venue.

Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded

At the heart of the Pa700 Professional Arranger is Korg's Advanced EDS-X sound engine that provides you with access to over 1700 ready-to-play sounds. The EDS-X library contains an extensive range of both classic and contemporary keyboards, band and orchestral instruments, plus electronic and acoustic instruments. Additionally, the Pa700 delivers two new multi-layer stereo grand piano - with damper and body resonance - plus electric pianos from the acclaimed Korg SV-1 Stage Piano. Captured using state-of-the-art techniques, the Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded sound engine accurately reproduces each sound with natural expression and unparalleled sonic quality.

Oriental Model

The Oriental version of the Korg Pa700 is equipped with all of the functionality and features of the Pa700 while also providing a miniature keyboard on the front panel. This unique keyboard can be used to conveniently access scale presets and create custom quarter tone scales. Additionally, the Korg Pa700 Oriental provides you with a vast range of sounds and styles that are specific to Middle Eastern music genres. Ouds, bouzuks, kanouns, various percussion instruments, and many more sounds are complimented by a range of extra styles that are perfect for both traditional and modern music.

Defined Nuance Control

The three assignable switches and four-way joystick combine to allow Korg's proprietary DNC (Defined Nuance Control) to accurately reproduce the subtle nuances and delicate articulations of acoustic instruments.

Studio-Quality Effects

Korg is known for studio-quality effects, and the Pa700 includes the best of the KORG library. 2 Insert and 2 Master effects can be used for the accompaniment tracks, while 1 Insert and 2 Master effects can be used for the real-time keyboard tracks. 148 effect types are available, including reverbs, delays, vintage stomp box simulations, amp and cabinet simulators and more. In addition, each track features an EQ with Low, Mid and High controls, and a custom track EQ can be memorised in the Song Play mode—allowing your song to sound its best in any environment. The effects mean you can easily adapt the sound to your musical taste or correct a problematic live scenario.
