The new Entertainer Keyboard Flagship | KORG Pa5X

The Korg Pa5x 88 Musikant at a glance

With the Pa5x 88 Musikant, Korg presents the entertainer flagship among the arranger keyboards! Created for solo entertainers, bands, performers, solo artists and songwriters, the Pa5X is equipped with cutting-edge features that make making music and working on the instrument a true joy. True to the motto "Simple. Better." the complete user interface has been renewed and provided with logical colour codes that make interaction with the large 8" touchscreen and other controls easily recognizable. Compared to the previous model, this allows a more intuitive handling of the instrument and its functions, shorter paths to the target and even significantly faster loading times. A great innovation is the practical strip Display under the nine faders, it shows the current assignment of the sliders. Newly added are 16 velocity-sensitive pads, which can be used for different tasks like eg. They can be used for various tasks such as firing samples or muting tracks. The appealingly designed and high-quality processed aluminium case with the noble wooden side panels gives a professional impression and frames the very pleasantly playable 88-key keyboard with hammer action, which is velocity-sensitive and has aftertouch in an appropriate way.

Another highlight of the Pa5X are the two independent players, which can play styles, MIDI files and MP3 files in any combination. This allows mixing and synchronized playback of two different styles! MIDI files can be changed in their timing by setting a marker at the touch of a button. With the Chord Sequencer chord sequences can be created and also played per Style. The new Round Robin function is a guarantee for authentically played drums, as here a fine accentuation is achieved with up to four layers at eight velocity levels.

The Pa5X has a lot to offer in terms of sound: over 2000 sounds from the Korg instruments SV-2 (pianos), Nautilus, Wavestate and also ARP 2600, among others, offer a varied repertoire and cover countless styles, which also includes traditional instruments and varied percussion. The Smooth Sound Transition function, developed specifically for the Pa5X, ensures that no sounds or effects are cut off during switching or crossfading.

Effects & Post-Processing

Korg didn't miss the opportunity to significantly expand and freshen up the effects department of the Pa5X. Basically, the extensive effects selection is available as an 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 can succeed if they are accurately tuned. 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.

Other special features

Instead of the handwheels Pitchbend and modulation wheel, the Pa5X is equipped with a fine-resolution joystick that can be replaced 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, with which any parameter can be spontaneously modulated with a finger swipe. 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, because the 2x 20-watt stereo speaker including an internal 40-watt subwoofer is placed on the back of the Pa5X.

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

The large tilting 8" touchscreen is the central control element of the Pa5X. The touchscreen provides access to all functions and features in razor-sharp image quality and ensures comprehensible interaction with other controls thanks to logical colour codes. 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.

Professional connections

The back of the Pa5x is pleasantly versatile. In addition to the keyboard, there are the foot pedal connections Expression, Sustain and Footswitch. This increases the expression possibilities at the keyboard with the usual pedals. MIDI is communicated via theIn/Out/Thru connection trio as well as USB. This is perfect for those who want to run additional equipment like eg. a rack expander or a DAW with the Pa5X. In its capacity as a complete all-in-one Live instrument and as a sampler, audio inputs are of course not to be missed! On the input side, the Pa5X shines with two Stereo line inputs, which are divided into 2x 6.3mm jack and 3.5mm stereo jack. A microphone input is provided via XLR combo jack; even a guitar can be connected to its own input. For signal output there are six 6.3mm jack sockets, which can be configured 3x Stereo or 1x Stereo and 4x mono, among others. For the purpose of expanding the memory and connecting additional keyboards and controllers, there are two USB host ports. The HDMI video output displays song lyrics, scores or the mirrored Display on a connected TV or beamer.
