Korg PA-60

The Korg Pa60 is a songwriting station that combines enhanced sequencing functions, powerful performance features, comprehensive arranging tools and impeccable sound quality! Sequenceing Functions In addition to the traditional real-time and step-time sequencing available on upper echelon workstations, the Pa60 also features Korg's unique "Backing Sequencer", which can capture up to eight tracks of Style accompaniment and up to eight tracks of real time playing in a single pass. This Backing Sequencer data can be edited in powerful and musical ways, speeding the realization of your musical ideas. Where traditional workstations provide an empty palette to start from, the Pa60's Backing Sequencer takes advantage of the accompaniment system to provide you with as little or as much of a band as you need. In performance, nothing beats the revolutionary XDS Dual Sequencer found in the Pa60. With fully independent transport controls for each sequencer and a DJ style crossfader, the Pa60 can provide a seamless and satisfying performance. The "Jukebox" mode allows you to create various "set lists" so the Pa60 can perform a whole set with you - nonstop! The Pa60 is completely compatible with GM and SMF files. Lyrics embedded in SMF sequences are shown in the Display. Powerful Performance Features Each of the four pads on the front panel can be assigned to either a percussion or effect sound. These pads can also be used to provide instant access to a variety of Pa60 functions such as muting the effects, selecting the next Style, or even assigning Quarter Tones on the fly. These functions and many more can also be assigned to an optional footswitch connected to the Pa60. Along with the Joystick, the synchronized start/stop, fade in and out, tap tempo, accompaniment reset and other front panel functions are available at your fingertips. Comprehensive Arranging Tools With 256 editable Syles onboard, plus 48 user Styles, you will be able to cover any situation. Styles can be stored to or played from a floppy disk for expansion. Eight parts, four variations, two fills, two intros and two endings per Style provide you with all the control you need to make arrangements and performances natural and sharp. Impeccable Sound Quality Based on the same synth engine found in the Korg Triton and Karma, the Pa60 sounds fantastic!
