Intuitive, powerful, interactive, and full of stunning sound!
The Korg Pa800 is the successor to their Pa80, the most successful professional arranger ever produced.
RX
Technology
First used on the Pa1X, the most powerful Arranger around, RX Technology is the guiding philosophy behind the Pa800. RX—Real
eXperience - guided all Korg's design and sound decisions. When the Pa800 performs, the audience will listen.
The Pa800
includes as standard the acclaimed TC Helicon Voice Processor. This features EQ and professional quality effects (reverb,
echo, etc.), designed and shaped specifically for vocals. These effects, combined with the built-in 3-voice harmony and dedicated
high-quality mic preamp, ensure your vocals have the highest possible sound quality.
The most important controls to
keep your voice under control are available in the panel and in the display's main page. Simply connect your microphone and
start performing!
Taming Technology for Intuitive Ease of Use
With all the technological power packed inside, it was vital that Korg also made the Pa800 easy to understand and easy to
use. But even more, they wanted the whole way you use the Pa800 to be an intuitive, musical, fast, foolproof experience. The
graphical user interface uses an amazing Graphical Color Touch Screen so you simply think, point, and click for easy and intuitive
use—RX Technology at work for you!
Allowing musicians of all levels to make great music quickly, there are two
interface modes: easy and expert. The easy mode shows only the most important controls while keeping a clean and easy interface,
useful for beginners or playing live, while in expert mode you have full editing control. Nothing stands between you and your
professional performance.
Switches and sliders are assignable so your live performances work the way you want.

Unparalleled
Quality of Sound
Of course, having power and ease of use mean nothing without great sound and the stunning high-quality sound performance of
the Pa800
will impress any audience. The Pa800 delivers sound that makes it seem like you have the coolest band available on stage—all
working under your control.
Korg sound quality is relied on by musicians everywhere. For the Pa800, they redesigned
what was already the most powerful synth sound engine available to give you an even richer, more detailed, sophisticated,
and natural sound than ever before with musical instruments from almost every genre exploding with depth, nuance, subtlety,
accuracy, and richness. They even used several sounds from OASYS helping the Pa800 set a new standard for arranger keyboards.
The
sound memory of the Pa800 has been largely increased to achieve the best sound quality possible boasting all new multilevel
samples of the instruments you know and love. Many of these also include also various levels of articulation so the polyphony
has also been expanded to 120 notes to cover even busy passages.
There are more than 950 ROM sounds, including a new
amazing multilayer stereo acoustic piano accurately sampled from a Concert Grand (and including String and damper pedal Resonance!),
plus an extra 64 drum kits. In addition, the RAM area contains up to 256 user sounds and 64 drum kits and of course, there
is full onboard sound editing.
Full Featured Sample Tools
Still not enough sounds? Many professional musicians choose to add their own sounds and because the Pa800 is dedicated to
professional musicians, you can load Wave, AIFF, and Korg format files plus, of course, the incredible Akai sample library—about
the largest sample library available—into the standard 64MB of added memory.
The Pa800 also features professional
editing facilities such as loop, cut, normalize, and cropping of samples. A special "Time Slice" feature allows you to slice
audio grooves and import the audio data into a Style so you can create some of the coolest rhythms imaginable.
Powerful
Multi-effect Processors
But great sound is even more incredible. For many years, Korg has produced outstanding studio-quality effects that are simply
breathtaking. The Pa800 has four Stereo Master Effects processors with hundreds of these effects from the standards such as
reverb, delay, and chorus through to specialized effects such as a fantastic Vocoder and some of the universally acclaimed
REMS guitar based effects for authentic guitar tones. The vocal effects (EQ, Compressor, Noise reduction, Echo, and Reverb)
are separate and independently controlled.
Deeply Defined Musical Styles
Matching this high sound quality, the Pa800 delivers a new set of deluxe styles, programmed by some of the leading arrangers
in the world each of whom worked according to their musical strengths. The result is hundreds of preloaded Styles that provide
unparalleled realism and detail. Covering an expanded range of musical genres, the Pa800 gives you styles for almost every
important occasion.
If you require a special Style Collection simply record and edit your own styles on board. Korg
add further realism to your performance with Fill 3/Break, Intro 3/Count In, and Ending 3 Style Elements.
Never
a Dull Moment
Korg Pa80 introduced the world's first Arranger keyboard with two separate MIDI file players in the legendary Pa80 and the
Pa800 showcases these double sequencer features working at an all new power level. In addition, the Pa800 supports the main
musical formats such as SMF (Standard Midi File), Karaoke files and GM (General MIDI) and of course is able to display lyrics
in most popular karaoke formats.
There is also a practical Marker function to allow you to jump directly to a given
position in the song: you can fix the markers using the internal sequencer (or using a computer based one—the marker
format is standard) and then remix your favorite songs during a live performance for added spontaneity.
Easy-to-Use,
Advanced Musical Sequencing
Along with a powerful and fully programmable multi track sequencer, you can use Backing Sequences to create songs based over
styles—quickly and easily. You don't need to be a master programmer—you can write your own song in minutes: even
beginners can easily create songs using the step edit feature. This approach to quick programming is also useful for studio
use when you want to create great sounding professional backing music for films, video, multimedia or internet applications
very quickly.
Make it Your Own
You can configure and edit almost anything in the Pa800. You can modify and save Styles, Performances, Programs, Settings
for Sliders, Switches, Pads, Global (Midi channels, output routings, etc.) and more for both internal and external control.
Scales are fully programmable and include quarter tone settings and a programmable Arabic Scale.
Enhanced USB
Capabilities
The Pa800 has two USB Host connections available to connect standard pen drives, external hard drives, CD-ROM, or even a floppy
disk. One Host is used to connect other USB devices from the front panel for quick access in real time, while the second Host
is on the back panel. A further USB device connection is available for the Pa800 to connect with a PC for fast exchange of
large amounts of data or as a MIDI connection without the need for extra MIDI computer interfaces.
Stellar
Sound System
The custom designed amplification system is exceptionally high quality. The 2 x 22 watt amplifiers drive the two tweeters
and the 2 x 10" woofers in a bass-reflex box to generate a powerful listening experience. Loudness and Fixed EQ boost the
overall volume to deliver a big sound!
Great Feel
The keybed is unique to Korg, feels great, and naturally has aftertouch as well as being velocity sensitive.
