Korg PA1000 61-Key Arranger Workstation

Korg Pa1000 61-Key Arranger Workstation

Ready to upgrade your sound to the main stage? The Korg Pa1000 is the ultimate all-in-one arranger workstation. It functions as your backing band, studio engineer, and vocal producer, all packed into a sleek, stylish keyboard.

Whether you're composing your next hit or dazzling a live audience, the Pa1000 delivers professional-grade sound through an intuitive, user-friendly interface. It's time to stop just playing notes and start creating experiences.

An Orchestra Under Your Fingers

There’s a reason Korg is royalty in the arranger world, and the Pa1000 wears the crown beautifully. It packs a sonic punch that will leave your audience wondering where you hid the orchestra.

Enhanced EDS-X Sound Engine: This isn't your average beep-and-boop synthesizer. The Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded engine delivers vivid, realistic sounds that breathe with life, from the subtle resonance of a grand piano to the growl of a distorted guitar.
Defined Nuance Control (DNC): Want to hear the keys clicking on a saxophone or the breath of a trumpet player? DNC lets you articulate these subtle nuances using the assignable switches and joystick, adding a layer of realism that separates the pros from the amateurs.
Massive PCM Memory: With up to 600MB of compressed user PCM memory, you have a massive playground for your own samples and sounds. It’s like having a bottomless toy chest for your sonic creativity.

Your Sound, Your Rules

The Pa1000 is built for the musician who needs their gear to keep up with their imagination. It’s designed to be played, not just programmed, offering a tactile experience that feels fluid and responsive.

KAOSS FX: This is where things get wild. The KAOSS FX gives you creative control that pushes boundaries. You can morph between variations, reshape rhythms live, or add radical DJ-style note-crunching effects — all in real-time. It’s "liquid mixing" that turns standard accompaniment into a unique performance.
7-Inch TouchView Display: No more squinting at tiny, pixelated screens. The big, bright capacitive TouchView display tilts to the perfect angle, ensuring you can navigate your setlist or tweak parameters easily, even under harsh stage lights.
TC-Helicon Vocal Processor: Leave the backup singers at home. The built-in 3-voice vocal processor from TC-Helicon polishes your vocals with studio-quality effects and harmonies that follow your playing. You’ll sound like a full choir, even if you’re flying solo.

Stage-Ready Design and Connectivity

A great workstation needs to look the part and play nice with other gear. The Pa1000 features an elegant chassis with aluminum side panels that screams "professional," while its connectivity options ensure you're ready for any venue.

Dual Player & Recorder: Keep the party going with the XDS Crossfade Dual Sequencer Player. You can play two MP3 or MIDI files simultaneously and crossfade between them, or even display lyrics on an external monitor via the video out so your audience can sing along.
Built-in Sound System: Sometimes you just want to plug and play without hauling a PA system. The 2-way speaker system, driven by 33-watt amplifiers, delivers rich, full-bodied sound that fills the room with clarity.
SongBook Database: Organize your gig life with the fully programmable SongBook. It’s a searchable music database that instantly recalls settings for songs, styles, and effects. You can even create custom setlists for different gigs, ensuring you never miss a beat.

The Ideal Musical Companion

The Korg Pa1000 sets a new standard for what an arranger workstation can be. It bridges the gap between complex composition tools and intuitive live performance instruments, giving you the power to create, record, and perform without limitations.
