The Pa588 88-Key Professional Arranger from Korg is ideal for the musician, composer, performer and entertainer alike with its stellar features including 88-key RH3 graded hammer piano action and the piano sound of the C-720 Concert Digital Piano. RX (Real eXperience) technology is used to achieve stunning sounds, which is based on the EDS (Extended Definition Synthesis) that powers the popular M3. Programming is simple with the TouchView interface, while realistic articulation can be controlled with the 4-way joystick.
Four stereo processors provide up to 128 effects with a 3-band parametric EQ available on each track. The Pa588 has over 320 styles programmed by some of the leading arrangers in the world each with up to 8 parts, 4 variations, and 3 intros/count-ins/fills/breaks/endings. Performance can be custom tailored to your specifications with the Tap Tempo, Fade In/Out and Manual Bass features.
Create accurate guitar parts with picking, strum, chokes, slides, hammer-ons and guitar-specific artifacts while enhancing guitar tracks of standard MIDI-files.
Expand your musical database for live performance with the SongBook feature with pre-programmed settings such as Sounds, Style, Performance, Volumes, Muted Tracks, FX settings, Easy Edit, STS settings, and Master Transpose for every song you need to play. Back up your data to SD or MMC cards and uses USB or MIDI for connection with your computer.
