Korg Pa4X Oriental 61 Professional Arranger

The PA4X is an unbelievable professional arranger, with everything a solo performer could ever need. The PA4X Oriental utilises all the outstanding features of the original PA4X, but has some unique features that allows this keyboard to perform Oriental, Arabic, Persian and Turkish music with a distinct feeling of authenticity. The PA4X oriental is packed full of incredible sounds with unrivalled realism, live audio processing, a wide range of on board effects and even offers custom intervals for that truly authentic touch.

Powered by the EDS-X engine, the PA4X Oriental comes with over 1650 sounds all ready to play! The quality of these sounds is outstanding, and great attention to details has been granted to all the instruments, from pianos, contemporary keyboards and orchestral instruments, through to synths, guitars and sound effects. The drum kits can even be edited, granting you total control over the volume, pitch, EQ and more! The PA4X does of course pride itself on the quality of Turkish, Oriental, Arabic and Persian instruments, each performing at an equal quality to their Western counterparts. The sounds are authentic and true to their acoustic nature.

One particularly brilliant feature of the PA4X Oriental is the power to manipulate custom intervals. With 15 easy access custom presets, you can customise the intervals on the keyboard utilising quarter tones, meaning you are able to place in scales that are prominent and unique to the respective culture’s music that you are looking to replicate.

The PA4X Oriental is also packed with 650 ‘musical environments’. These environments meet the perfect sound choices, effects, mixing and also can handle 5 instruments that follow your chord changes. This means that you are able to play authentic sounding music, with all the support immediately available at the tip of your fingers with the PA4X Oriental.

4 inserts and 3 master effects are available on the accompanying tracks, while 1 insert and 2 master effects are available for the keyboard sounds, which gives you plenty of freedom when you have over 140 different effects types to choose from. These range from reverbs and delays to amp and cabinet simulators, and will have everything you’re looking for by way of effects. Partnered with Waves Audio, the PA4X Oriental is built to sound its very best in any live situation.

If all this still isn’t enough for you, the PA4X Oriental operates in cooperation with TC Helicon to allow you to use an immensely powerful live vocal processor. Able to add up to 4 realistic vocal harmonies, while controlling effects such as delay, tune and compression, you’ll be able to give the performance of a lifetime, with a huge sound, using only this keyboard. All controlled live via the keyboard, each element is easy to use, and designed for a fluid performance.

With an amass of connectivity, power to expand the memory and freedom to record on the fly, this keyboard really does have it all. Packed with authentic Oriental, Persian, Turkish and Arabic sounds and with the ability to play quarter tone scales, your imagination is the limit.
