Korg Pa700 Oriental 61-Key Professional Arranger with Touchscreen and Speakers

The Korg Pa700 Oriental 61-Key Professional Arranger with Touchscreen and Speakers is a velocity-sensitive, 61-key keyboard that is designed for use by both beginners and advanced players for live performance, practice, and karaoke applications. It features a 7" capacitive touchscreen display that provides control over important parameters as well as in-depth editing of your sounds. The Pa700 ORIENTAL incorporates over 1700 factory sounds including wind instruments, basses, guitars, and a multilayer stereo piano with damper and body resonance, as well as GM/XG sound sets, and over 106 drum kits. Playback is provided via the integrated dual 25W amplifiers that power the two-built-in dual-cone speakers.

The Pa700 ORIENTAL adds a mini keyboard on the left side, which can be used to customize quarter-tone scales and quickly access scale presets. The ORIENTAL version also contains an expanded sound set with selections that are specific to Middle Eastern music genres, including ouds, bouzuks, kanouns, and various percussion instruments, plus many more sounds.

Two 1/4" microphone inputs allow you to integrate vocals into your performance. Additionally, the left input works as a guitar input and includes three FX processors, 45 factory presets, and 64 user presets. The integrated MP3 player supports the MP3+G format for graphical display of lyrics and images on either the 7" touchscreen or an optional external display via RCA. You can play back MIDI and MP3 files simultaneously while transposing, accelerating, or slowing them down. You can record your performance to the internal 960MB of memory, an optional USB drive, or a microSD card.

The Pa700 ORIENTAL offers a variety of effects to further shape your sounds, including 148 effect types with three insert FX, four master FX, a master limiter, and 4-band parametric EQ. Korg has incorporated vocal processing from TC-Helicon, which provides up to five FX with 28 factory presets and 64 user presets. The Korg Pa700 ORIENTAL ships with a music stand and power adapter.

Slim, Powerful, and Easy to Use

The Pa700 ORIENTAL is a concept that combines a slim profile with a professional visual motif. The two 25-watt amplifiers drive the two loudspeakers in a bass-reflex enclosure to generate a rich, full-bodied listening experience. The main panel has been optimized to ensure that all controls are ergonomically positioned and intuitively located to make every performance feel smooth and natural. Big, bright, and bold, the capacitive Touch View display hosts a redesigned graphical interface that is easier than ever to read, even under the most demanding lighting environments.

High-Quality Sound

The Pa700 ORIENTAL relies on KORG’s advanced EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis Expanded) sound engine, and comes complete with over 1700 ready-to-play sounds. This realistic collection offers a vast gathering of classic and contemporary keyboards, band and orchestral instruments, plus electronic and acoustic instruments from techno to folk. Included are two new multi-layer stereo grand pianos (with damper and body resonance), plus electric pianos from the KORG SV-1 Stage Piano.

The digital drawbar organ includes key on/off noises, leakage, and the rotary speaker emulation. In addition, the Pa700 ORIENTAL has been equipped with new wind instruments, strings, basses even acoustic and electric guitars. Sounds have been painstakingly captured using methods that allow the finest of details to be accurately reproduced.

Up to 256MB of memory (compressed PCM user memory) is available, so custom sounds can be added easily. The General MIDI (GM) sound bank has been improved for better compatibility with GM files. The Pa700 ORIENTAL can also load/import KORG, WAV, AIFF, and Sound Font formats, and it can export in WAV or AIFF. Sounds can be fully edited, with up to 24 oscillators for each note.

The Pa700 ORIENTAL contains all the functionality of the Pa700, and adds a mini-keyboard on the left side, which can be used to customize quarter tone scales and quickly access scale presets. In addition to the standard content, Pa700 ORIENTAL also contains Sounds and Styles that are specific to Middle Eastern music genres. Ouds, bouzuks, kanouns, various percussion instruments, and many more sounds are joined by dozens of extra Styles that are suitable for traditional and modern music.

Over 370 Included Styles

The Pa700 ORIENTAL delivers over 370 auto-accompaniment Styles, straight out of the box. Each one is a fully realized musical environment dedicated to creating a particular musical style. With so many to choose from, the Pa700 ORIENTAL can provide instant access to a vast and robust range of musical genres. Each Style features 4 Fill Ins + Break patterns, one for each variation. Using the new Auto Fill function, they can be automatically recalled as you move between the four variations. The Pa700 ORIENTAL has 1152 locations in which to save your new Styles and settings.
