Korg Pa500ort

Pa500ort description:

The Korg Pa500ort is a special Middle Eastern edition of the Pa500 interactive keyboard.

The Korg Pa500ort is the first totally dedicated and specialized PA instrument designed for – and by – Middle Eastern musicians. The PA500 Oriental includes everything from the standard Pa500 – and more!

In creating the PA500 Oriental, Korg drew inspiration from the thousands of musicians in the Middle East who already use Korg Pa products. Produced by a team of the best musicians from various countries in the Middle East, the PA500 Oriental features a complete range of freshly produced instruments and Styles showcasing the sounds that make Middle Eastern music so energetic and exciting, so seductive and enchanting.

These new sounds and Styles are provided in addition to all the sounds, Styles, FX and other features of the standard Pa500.

One of the most significant features of the PA500 Oriental is the addition of the Quarter Tone Sub Scale keyboard. A miniature keyboard has been added to the front panel; and each key is equipped with an LED indicator. This allows the user to quickly select the notes that will be flatted to the nearest Quarter Tone. This function is always available, so that the Quarter Tone selection can be made quickly and on the fly during performance. In addition, four preset buttons provide one-touch access to the most commonly used Quarter Tone scales.

The Korg Pa500ort comes with hundreds of stunning sounds including 104 new instruments used in traditional classical music, all enhanced by industry leading FX processors and driven by some of the most sophisticated and realistic music Styles ever created.

With exclusive Korg features such as the XDS Dual Sequencer, intuitive TouchView interface, and a four way joystick for realistic articulation, the only thing really missing is a big price tag.

Featuring a full stereo sound system with two double cone speakers in a bass reflex enclosure for the best sound in a small box. The PA500 Oriental is completely self-contained and easily transportable.
