Korg Pa5X 61 Oriental – the latest flagship professional arranger, enriched with a powerful library of Middle Eastern sounds and rhythms, dedicated to Arabic, Turkish, and Persian music.
The Korg Pa5X Oriental is an uncompromising instrument that combines all the technological power of the standard Pa5X model with unique features for oriental musicians. At its heart lies the advanced EDS-XP (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-Expanded) sound engine, supported by an 8-inch tiltable touchscreen and a colorful, intuitive interface. The Oriental version stands out with a dedicated on-screen virtual keypad for scale control (quarter tones) and physical controllers that allow for instant retuning of the instrument during a performance.
The instrument offers over 2600 sounds (including 240 oriental) and 844 styles (264 oriental), created by top musicians from Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran. All this is housed in a sturdy aluminum chassis with elegant wooden side panels. The Pa5X Oriental is also a powerful vocal tool (Shift Audio processor) and mastering suite (Waves MaxxAudio), and thanks to dual XDS players with a crossfader, it ensures seamless high-level performances.
