4| Let’s start!
Sounds have been recorded with the most up-to-date technologies, and
KORG’s own proprietary EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded)
sound engine allows for fine detail to be accurately reproduced. The inte-
grated sampler and sound editor allows to fill the vast user memory with
newly created or imported sounds.
All these authentic sounds become alive with KORG’s DNC (Defined Nuance
Control) system, allowing the performer to accurately and expressively in-
troduce the most subtle nuances and sound articulation. For example, the
joystick, ribbon controller and assignable switches can introduce the growl
of a saxophone, breath elements found in trumpet, clarinet and harmonica,
and add authenticity to the pizzicato and bowed sounds of a string section.
You will even hear keys opening when saxophone notes are going up, and
closing when going down!
Listen the natural way
Each Pa4X sound go through separate EQs and studio-quality effect proces-
sors, that further refine your sound before coming through high-quality ste-
reo audio outputs. Effects run from the standard reverbs and delays through
to the more unusual effects (like a Vocoder), realistic amp simulators and
carefully recreated vintage effects.
The final effects are the result of KORG’s long term cooperation with Waves
Audio®, the world reference in studio mastering effects. The included Waves
MAXX AUDIO suite of effects delivers sound that is louder, clearer, fuller, and
more polished.
For super high-fidelity, you can add the optional PaAS Amplification System,
that has been specifically designed to connect directly to the keyboard.
Useful for both home use and on-stage monitoring, the PaAS requires no ad-
ditional support, no cables, no power supply to deliver crisp, clean full range
sound. The sound is clear and detailed even at the lowest volume level, for
the pleasure of the late-night rehearsing musician.
As good in tour or at home
Pa4X is a compact, lightweight arranger workstation that you can comfort-
ably take with you on stage. But add the optional modern, stylish dedicated
stand, and you will be able to have it anywhere in your home – a stylish piece
of modern furniture.
The built in programmable metronome can be used as a guide while practic-
ing at home. But send the click through the separate outputs to the stage
monitors or an headphone amplifier, and it will be used as a guidance by the
other band’s members.
