Introduction
Welcome to Pa5X!
Many thanks, and congratulations on purchasing the KORG Pa5X Professional
Arranger! We’re sure it’ll give you countless hours of enjoyment making great
music on a stage or at home.
Pa5X is an elegant and powerful music production workstation. It is easy to use,
with a clear user interface, based on the tiltable color touch screen, and the illumi-
nated buttons on the control panel showing color-coded functions. The naturally
responsive 88-note piano-like hammer-action keyboard, and the 76- and 61-note
semi-weighted keyboards, are designed for a completely authentic feel and full
control of expression.
Robust and reliable, Pa5X is excellent as a live instrument, but it is also a powerful
creative tool in studio, helping you in writing songs or soundtracks, while generat-
ing a produced sound that makes the perfect demo or ready-to-use media music.
The onboard sounds, based on our EDS-X (Enhanced Denition Synthesis-eXpanded)
sound engine, range from ultra-realistic acoustic instruments, to electric vintage
keyboards, to synth classics, with the addition of fantasy sounds and special effects
for media and cinema production. We also included instruments from various ages
and cultures, leaving ample room for your own expansions.
Pa5X is easy to control, via the KORG’s DNC (Dened Nuance Control) system,
allowing the performer to accurately and expressively introduce the most subtle
nuances and sound articulation. Faders, switches, real and virtual matrices of real
time controls, a joystick and a ribbon controller, allow for immediate access to all
the parameters of the sound. A complete set of programmable sliders and buttons
is associated to a dedicate strip display.
The sounds are processed by an elaborate chain of effects for each of the Players
and for the Keyboard Sounds. Each Player even includes a nalizer module. The nal
mastering effects on the audio outputs, making the instrument’s sound ‘blended’
and ‘produced’, are the result of KORG’s long term cooperation with Waves Audio,
the world reference in studio mastering effects.
To listen with the best audio quality, even at the lowest volume for rehearsing at
night, you can add the optional KORG PaAS Amplication System, which has been
specically designed to connect directly to Pa5X.
