Play and write songs
Play Songs in MID and MP3 formats with KORG’s patented XDS Crossfade
Dual Sequencer/Player. With both Songs and Styles, you can show lyrics for
your singer and chords for your fellow guitarist. Any MIDI Song track can be
converted into a readable score. Markers allow for jumping back to a passage
you wish to repeat, for example in a piece you are studying or rehearsing.
Use the video output to display lyrics or score on an external monitor, mak-
ing it perfect for karaoke or band leading.
You can record a MIDI Song using a full-featured Sequencer, or by using the
Styles to record your live performance. Even easier, just record what you
sing and play (including MP3 Songs) as an MP3 file, and listen to it anywhere
you like.
Your music book
What is a huge collection of Styles and Songs, without an effective form of
organization? Pa1000 has the one best known to musicians: the SongBook,
a music database allowing for fast song retrieving based on name, artist,
genre or tempo. Styles and Songs are easily recalled by the SongBook.
Particularly useful for live use, the SongBook can assign songs from any cus-
tom Set List to dedicated buttons on the control panel. Your entire show will
be under your fingers, with immediate access to any Style, Song and Sounds
needed for your performance.
The SongBook can even be edited from a personal computer through our
free editor. It can also be synchronized with most modern tablets to become
your handy external digital music sheet reader (third-party software need-
ed).
Sing naturally
Connect a dynamic microphone, and adjust parameters such as the EQ,
Compressor, Gate, Reverb and Delay to make the vocals sound smooth and
studio-produced. The Vocal Remover will even let you remove the voice from
MP3 Songs, and let you sing along with them.
For years, KORG has teamed with TC•Helicon®, the world leaders in vocal
harmonies, to create and constantly improve the included Voice Processor.
TC•Helicon’s Voice Processor ensures that your vocals have the highest pos-
sible sound quality, and adds up to three realistic voices to your voice.
To ensure professional vocal performance, 2 knobs and 3 buttons controlling
the most important vocal functions have been added to the top panel within
easy reach.
