Korg PA600 Professional Arranger Keyboard

Here's what Korg say about the PA600 Professional Arranger Keyboard

The PA600 is a brilliant Professional Arranger that distills the sonic essence and functionality of the Pa series into a compact and affordable new instrument. Like its big brothers - the PA800 and the PA3X - the PA600 uses our RX (Real eXperience) and DNC (Defined Nuance Control) technology to deliver sound quality that’s unprecedented in an arranger keyboard. With its new compact cabinet, large TFT color TouchView display, enormous factory and user PCM memory, huge style database and excellent amplification system, Korg has raised the standard of excellence in the entry-level price range. Listen and Believe.

Stunning Sound

It all begins with the sound. Korg’s sound quality is universally recognized as superior, and relied on by musicians around the world. The PA600 gives you a rich, detailed, sophisticated natural sound with musical instruments from almost every genre; exploding with depth, nuance, subtlety, and accuracy. The DNC (Defined Nuance Control) system adds finely tuned control, and provides various levels of articulation. There are also several sounds distilled from the OASYS, (one of the most powerful synthesizers ever made), helping the PA600 set a new standard for arranger keyboards. Over 950 sounds are preloaded, including a refreshed GM sound set, and 64 drumkits. There is also an amazing multilayer stereo acoustic piano that was accurately sampled from a Concert Grand, and includes String and Damper pedal Resonance. Sounds are fully editable and changes can be saved in the User area.

One very exciting feature added to the PA600 is the option of purchasing musical sounds and styles particular to specific regions around the world. Up to 96MB of additional PCM allows many instruments to be accurately added to the PA600 sound engine and used with styles that were developed to represent many of the popular musical styles of certain countries.

Easy to use

With all the technological power that’s packed inside, it was vital that we also made the PA600 easy to understand and use. Your experience using the PA600 should be intuitive, musical, fast and foolproof. The panel layout has been simplified, and the gorgeous color TouchView Display lets you simply think, point and click for easy and intuitive navigation and performance.
So that musicians of all levels can make great music quickly, there are two interface modes: Easy and Expert. Easy mode shows only the most important controls while keeping a clean and straightforward interface, useful for beginners or playing live, while in Expert mode, you have full editing control. Nothing stands between you and a stellar performance.

Switches are assignable so your live performances work the way you want, and when you don’t remember where a file, song or style was saved, just use the Search feature to let the PA600 find it for you.
