Korg Pa700 Set with MUSIKANT Expansion Software

Sleek, Powerful, and Easy to Use

The combination of a slim format and professional look makes the Pa700 a captivating eye-catcher. Even more impressive is the mighty sound of the high-quality, powerful amplifier system. The 2 x 25 watt amplifiers with 2 speakers in a bass reflex enclosure deliver a nuanced, full-bodied listening experience. Ergonomically and intuitively arranged controls on the optimized panel support a naturally flowing performance. The newly developed graphical interface of the large, bright TouchView display remains highly readable even in low light. The versatile search function quickly finds recently used songs, styles, files, and more! Styles, keyboard sets, and SongBook entries can be read directly from USB media—without loading data into internal memory.

Top-Notch Sound Quality

The Pa700 operates with KORG’s complex EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded) sound engine and comes factory-equipped with more than 1,700 ready-to-play, highly realistic sounds. This collection offers a huge selection of classic and modern keyboards, band and orchestral instruments, as well as electronic and acoustic instruments—from techno to folk. Newly added are two multilayer stereo grand pianos (with damper and body resonances) and electric pianos from the popular KORG SV-1 stage piano. The electronic organ features digital drawbars, key on/off noises, leakage effects, and a rotary speaker emulation. Additionally, the Pa700 offers new wind instruments, strings, basses, and even acoustic and electric guitars. All sounds were meticulously recorded using state-of-the-art methods, preserving even the finest details.

106 authentic drum kits—including ambient drums—make rhythmic passages a musical pleasure. The Drum Family Easy Editing function allows total control over volume, pitch, EQ, and more. Custom sounds find ample space in the compressed PCM user memory of up to 256 MB, and compatibility with the General MIDI (GM) soundbank and GM files has been further improved. The Pa700 can load/import KORG, WAV, AIFF, and SoundFont formats and export WAV or AIFF. Its sounds can be extensively edited and used with up to 24 oscillators per note!

The Pa700 ORIENTAL version has all the functionality of the standard Pa700 and features an additional mini keyboard on the left side for adjusting quarter-tone scales and quickly accessing scale presets. Besides conventional musical resources, the Pa700 ORIENTAL includes sounds and styles typical for Middle Eastern music genres. Ouds, bouzoukis, qanuns, various percussion instruments, and many more sounds are complemented by dozens of styles tailored to traditional and modern music styles.

Always Well Styled

Each of the more than 370 styles of the Pa700 creates its own musical world and reproduces a specific musical style. The selection is vast and offers direct access to a wide range of musical genres. Every style provides 4 fill-ins + break patterns—one per variation. With the new auto fill function, you can trigger them automatically while moving between the four variations. KORG’s international sound team has created many new styles and also enhanced many popular and well-known styles with new sounds and mixes. The Pa700 offers a total of 1,152 memory slots for new styles and settings.

The Latest Styles—Quickly Created!

Thanks to the completely new integrated "Standard MIDI File to Style" converter, you can quickly and conveniently use styles from the latest songs! Simply obtain a new standard MIDI file, load it into the Pa700, and convert it into a complete KORG style while simultaneously creating a chord sequence from the song’s chords.

Studio-Quality Effects

The Pa700 is equipped with the best studio-grade effects from the popular KORG library. You can apply 2 insert and 2 master effects to accompaniment tracks and 1 insert and 2 master effects to melody tracks. There are 148 effect types available, including reverbs, delays, vintage effect emulations, amplifier and cabinet simulations, and much more. Additionally, each track can be adjusted with low, mid, and high EQ controls, and a special track EQ can be saved in song play mode—ensuring the song sounds perfect in any environment. Global effects allow tailoring the overall sound to personal taste or challenging live settings.

Enhance Guitar Sound

Just connect your guitar to the special input on the back and process it with the pedal and studio effects of Guitar FX. Choose from some of the best KORG guitar effects such as tube amplifier sounds, realistic distortion, chorus, delay, and high-quality studio reverbs.

Player/Sequencer

The player supports not only common text formats but also the MP3+G (aka MP3+Graphics) format for MP3 files. Thanks to this feature, you can play backing sequences with extended lyrics and graphics, displaying them simultaneously on the integrated TFT display and an external monitor. There is also a convenient marker function that lets you jump directly to a selected song position. A vocal remover mutes the center music channel to remove vocals from MP3 files.

SongBook

The SongBook is a freely programmable and easy-to-search music database that unites all settings needed to play a song—the ideal tool for live performances. Whether playing with styles, MIDI files, or MP3s, the SongBook holds all important song information such as title, genre, artist, tempo, volumes, sound assignments, muted tracks, effect and easy edit settings, 4 keyboard tracks, TC Helicon presets, master transpose, and much more. The updated set list function allows assigning panel buttons for lightning-fast access to settings during live gigs.

Improved Connectivity

MIDI connections are now also possible via the USB HOST port (in addition to USB DEVICE and MIDI ports). This allows easy connection of controllers such as digital pianos (e.g., HAVIAN 30) or the KORG nano and micro series without special adapters.
