Korg Pa700 Professional Arranger Keyboard, Oriental

Full Description

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.

Compact and intuitive design

Lightweight and compact. The Korg Pa700 was designed with the professional in mind. This keyboard is aesthetically pleasing. Its slim enclosure houses a high-quality, custom designed system with two 25W amplifiers and two dual cone speakers within a bass reflex box. Thanks to its intuitive and ergonomic layout, the Pa700 is the ultimate keyboard for musicians. All the controls can be effortlessly reached to ensure your creative spell isn't broken.

Shine bright

Korg understand the wants and needs of their demographic. They know that when performing you may not always have access to adequate lighting environments. This can make the need to adjust your sound during a performance difficult. That's why the large 7" TouchView TFT display has been redesigned to ensure it is easy to read in any environment. You'll no longer be left in the dark thanks to the Pa700!

Advanced sound engine

At the core of the Pa700 Professional Arranger lies Korg's Advanced EDS-X sound engine. This grants you access to well over 1700 record-ready sounds. The library provides you with a detailed range of both classic and contemporary keyboards, as well as band and orchestral instruments. Any sound you can think of, the Pa700 has it. The Pa700 also delivers two new multi-layer stereo grand pianos - 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.

Unparalleled expression

Take your arrangements above and beyond. The Pa700 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.
