Full Description

Unparalleled expression

Take your arrangements above and beyond. The PA1000 boasts three switches and a joystick. You can use these in conjunction with Korg's Defined Nuance Control to make your performances sound larger than life. Add grit and growl to your saxophone, emulate the mechanical noise of a trumpet, as well as the "Hitchcockesque" piercing attack of strings. Absolutely anything is possible. Employ this to add a sense of reality to your virtual performances.

Powerful sound, slim design

The Pa1000 provides you with the best of both worlds. It combines a sleek, light-weight profile with a host of professional functions. You'll be guaranteed a full-bodied, immersive listening experience thanks to the 2x33w amplifiers needed to drive the four powerful loudspeakers. The control panel has been designed with you, the working professional in mind. All the controls are displayed in an intuitive, ergonomic layout to make performing feel as comfortable as possible. The graphic interface is incredibly easy to read and will enhance your overall experience. You'll be in full control at all times, even when performing in environments with inadequate lighting.

Studio quality sound

You'll be provided with a premium quality sound straight out of the box. The Pa1000 accommodates to well over 400 styles. Each one has been handcrafted to allow you to play in any musical style with absolute conviction. You'll have instant access to a wide array of instruments and genres. The Pa1000 provides you with 1,152 user locations that allow you to save your own presets for instant recall at any time.

KAOSS FX

The Korg Pa1000 Arranger has the new KAOSS FX that provides you with complete control over every aspect of your sound. From subtle morphing between variations and drum kit types, fine mixing between accompaniment sounds, live reshaping of rhythms to the note-crunching effects and arpeggios, the KAOSS FX delivers endless creative possibilities for both live performances and studio sessions.
