DISC Korg PA50SD Professional Arranger Keyboard

Full Description

Extensive Sequencing

In addition to traditional real-time and step-time sequencing, the Pa50SD also features Korg's unique Backing Sequencer, which can capture up to eight tracks of style accompaniment and up to eight tracks of real time playing in a single pass. The PA50SD is GM and SMF compatible and in performance, nothing beats the revolutionary XDS Dual Sequencer. Lyrics embedded in SMF sequences are shown in the Display.

Musical Styles

Each of the 304 editable Styles provides up to eight accompaniment parts (drums, bass, percussion and more) that respond interactively with your playing. Eight parts, four Variations, two Fills, two Intros and two Endings per Style provide all you need to create a natural-sounding performance. In addition to the eight parts that comprise a Style, up to four sounds are available on the keyboard as real-time parts. The Pa50SD can also store 160 user defined Performance settings, each instantly recalling the style, sounds, effects, panning, transposition and other settings assigned to each part.
