Korg’s Pa series workstations have set the standard for professional arranger keyboards. Now, the Pa5X ascends the throne as the flagship of the range, further raising the bar for sound quality, playability, versatility, and sheer power. The top panel of this formidable arranger workstation features an assignable Pad Matrix, a Mixer section, multicolored LED buttons, and a large, tiltable touchscreen that put you in complete command of your music creation process. Powered by Korg’s state-of-the-art EDS-XP (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-Expanded) sound engine, the Pa5X leverages advanced hardware design and a powerful new operating system to deliver levels of sonic perfection that were heretofore not feasible. Available with 61 and 76 semi-weighted keys — or with an 88-note, fully weighted keybed for authentic grand piano playing feel — the Pa5X models are clad in a sleek aluminum chassis with wooden side panels that will stand up to grueling tour schedules while adding an elegant accent to your living room or studio. Plus, all the Pa5X keybeds are equipped with aftertouch for enhanced expression.
