Korg PA-4X Oriental 76 Key Professional Arranger

The Pa4X ORIENTAL Professional Arranger is more than a keyboard. It’s your backup band; your accompanist; and your musical director. Whatever music you are going to play, from Western to Oriental - Arabic, Persian, Turkish - the Pa4X ORIENTAL delivers.

Ideal for composing, recording, and combo use, the intuitive Pa4X ORIENTAL really comes to life in the hands of the solo keyboard performer and entertainer. And nowhere else is the flawless operation and superior sound of one keyboard instrument more in the spotlight. To that end, every aspect of KORG’s industry-leading Professional Arranger series has been re-examined and improved, resulting in the Pa4X ORIENTAL—an instrument without equal. The all-new EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis – Expanded) sound engine delivers unprecedented realism and highly detailed sounds. KORG’s exclusive DNC (Defined Nuance Control) provides highly-articulate solo instruments. Partnerships with Waves Audio and TC Helicon provide state-of-the-art audio processing and vocal effects. The Oriental version comes with a bonus package including the most effective musical resources available from top-class Middle East libraries.
