Unlock a world of Middle Eastern music with the Pa5X Oriental's immense sound library and intuitive controls.
The KORG Pa5X Oriental professional arranger brings the sounds and styles of Middle Eastern music to your fingertips. With thousands of authentic Oriental sounds and styles, this 61-key arranger keyboard lets you explore musical traditions from Turkey, Persia and Arabic countries. A redesigned interface provides fast access to the Pa5X Oriental's extensive sonic palette. Whether you want to recreate traditional pieces or forge new fusions, this arranger offers an inspiring set of creative tools.
Authentic Middle Eastern Sounds
The Pa5X Oriental delivers over 2,600 Oriental sounds, including 240 instrument voices and 70 drum kits capturing Turkish, Persian and Arabic musical traditions. Renowned musicians helped craft these sounds to ensure their realism. Stringed instruments, winds and a variety of percussion are represented. You'll find inspiration in the Pa5X Oriental's curated selection of acoustic and electric pianos as well as specially selected sounds from Kronos and Nautilus synths. A new drawbar organ section provides realistic sliders and controls. The drum kits use round-robin sampling for natural, non-repetitive grooves. With space for your own samples, you can create custom sounds, drum kits and loops.
Hundreds of Styles From the Middle East
The Pa5X Oriental comes with 844 styles covering a range of genres, including 264 Oriental styles. These styles provide authentic Middle Eastern rhythmic and melodic backings. You'll find styles suitable for both traditional and contemporary pieces. Two players let you mix styles, MIDI files, MP3s and more. Crossfade between players or use one for a backing track while preparing the next. The Pa5X Oriental's powerful sound engine delivers the polyphony and effects to make transitions seamless.
Designed for Expression
The Pa5X Oriental offers a 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch for nuanced control. Nine sliders and nine buttons provide real-time modulation of sounds and effects. Assign controls to adjust mixer levels, drawbar settings, scroll lyrics or invert basslines. An auxiliary display shows the function of each controller even when the main screen changes. Korg's Defined Nuance Control gives you precise command over the subtle details of instrument sounds. Use the joystick, ribbon controller and more to shape your tone.
An Inspiring Set of Creative Tools
The Pa5X Oriental makes it easy to craft arrangements, sequences and songs. Its chord recognition system includes an expert mode attuned to modern jazz styles. Harmonize melodies automatically or use the chord sequencer. The Smooth Sound Transition feature allows moving between sounds, styles and songs without interrupting the flow of your performance.
Two crossfading players can mix and match styles, MIDI files, MP3s and more. Display lyrics, chords, scores and markers on the large touchscreen. Build setlists to organize music for live shows. Record your own MIDI and MP3 songs using the built-in sequencer. Save songs, styles and setlists to the SongBook database for synchronization with a tablet. For exploring Middle Eastern musical traditions or fusing global sounds, the Pa5X Oriental arranger provides inspiration and control.
