The Pa500-ORT 61-Key Professional Arranger from Korg is ideal for the musician, composer, performer and entertainer alike with its stellar features and a price tag that won't break the bank.

The Pa500-ORT has over special Middle Eastern styles plus 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.
