Effects & Post-Processing

Korg didn't miss the opportunity to significantly expand and refresh the effects department. Basically, the extensive effects selection is available as insert and master. In addition to proven standards such as delay, reverb, distortion and various modulation effects (including chorus, flanger, phaser), the microphone input has been given a four-voice vocal harmonizer with autopitch function, so that even sung choirs and backgrounds that are accurately tuned succeed. The gain-adjustable guitar input can also be provided with effects. The integrated audio mixer allows detailed settings for each track and even includes the different players. Volume, thanks to the finalizer it is easy to handle the different levels. With WAVES, a legendary mastering tool is implemented in the Pa5X, which gives the sound the final touch and, if necessary, brings it up to level properly.

Further special features

Instead of the handwheels Pitchbend and modulation wheel, the Pa5x Musikant is equipped with a fine-resolution joystick that can be exchanged from the outside for easy servicing. Three buttons positioned above it allow quick switching of different actions and can be assigned to them matching. Below the joystick is a ribbon controller that can be used to spontaneously modulate any parameter with the swipe of a finger. In case an "internal" speaker is indispensable, Korg offers the PaAs speaker system for retrofitting. The installation is done in a few minutes and without any special knowledge, since the 2x 20-watt stereo speaker with an internal 40-watt subwoofer is placed on the back of the keyboard.

Regional Specialty - THE MUSICANT

The Musikant version of the Pa5X is specially tailored to the German-speaking region including BeNeLux countries and contains even more sounds and styles programmed exclusively for the local culture. Offered are acapella and party choirs, accordion and orchestra sounds and much more. Whoever is musically on the move between the alpine region, party tents and party hits is guaranteed to find what they are looking for here. In addition, the operation of the instrument is facilitated by labels in German on the surface and in many menus.

Everything at a glance with the 8" touchscreen

The large tilting 8" touchscreen is the central control element of the Pa5X. In razor-sharp image quality, the touchscreen provides access to all functions and features, while also ensuring comprehensible interaction with other controls thanks to logical color codes. Especially the touchscreen clearly shows that the motto "Simple. Better.": with large buttons, realistic displays and a simplified structure, the well thought-out new user interface shines. No matter whether you are editing the Chord Sequencer, fine-tuning the sound with the Finalizer or adjusting effects, it couldn't be more comfortable.

Real-time faders with mini display

The nine faders and their corresponding buttons are absolutely performance-capable and switchable for numerous tasks. For quick adjustments or parameters where you have to do it again and again, you can quickly reach your goal and have everything under control. The slim strip display, which shows the current assignment of the faders, proves to be very practical.

Pad Matrix

The 16 velocity-sensitive pads perform various tasks. They can be used to fire previously assigned samples, turn tracks on and off in the mixer, control instruments, and more. Like many things in the Pa5x, the colour of the pads varies according to their task. An additional plus in terms of overview and handling.
