Korg PA5X 76

Korg Pa5X Oriental 76 – flagship arranger with 76 semi-weighted keys, crafted for authentic Arabic, Turkish, and Persian music.

The Korg Pa5X Oriental 76 is a powerful workstation combining the cutting-edge technology of the Pa5X series with the rich sonic heritage of the Middle East. It features an impressive library of over 2600 sounds, including 240 dedicated oriental sounds and 70 drum kits, alongside 844 factory styles (264 oriental). A unique feature of this version is the on-screen virtual keypad and physical quick-access buttons, allowing for instant application of quarter-tone scales and alternative tunings in real-time. Moreover, the instrument supports playing multiple scales simultaneously—the soloist can perform in an Arabic scale while the accompaniment remains in equal temperament.

The Pa5X Oriental 76 delivers stunning audio quality thanks to the EDS-X engine, and its operation is intuitive with a 7-inch tilting TouchView touchscreen. The instrument is equipped with a dual player featuring X-Fader, an advanced TC Helicon vocal processor, and a Waves MaxxAudio mastering suite. Its sleek aluminum chassis also houses an internal hard drive (standard on the 76-key version), making it a complete tool for professional stage and studio musicians.
