features
specifications
The Pa600 is a brilliant Professional Arranger that distills the
sonic essence and functionality of the Pa series into a compact and affordable
new instrument. Like its big brothers - the Pa800 and the Pa3X - the Pa600 uses
our RX (Real eXperience) and DNC (Defined Nuance Control) technology to deliver
sound quality that’s unprecedented in an arranger keyboard. With its new
compact cabinet, large TFT color TouchView display, enormous factory and user
PCM memory, huge style database and excellent amplification system, Korg has
raised the standard of excellence in the entry-level price range. Listen and
Believe.
Stunning
Sound
It all begins with the sound. Korg’s sound quality is universally
recognized as superior, and relied on by musicians around the world. The Pa600
gives you a rich, detailed, sophisticated natural sound with musical
instruments from almost every genre; exploding with depth, nuance, subtlety,
and accuracy. The DNC (Defined Nuance Control) system adds finely tuned
control, and provides various levels of articulation. There are also several
sounds distilled from the OASYS, (one of the most powerful synthesizers ever
made), helping the Pa600 set a new standard for arranger keyboards. Over 950
sounds are preloaded, including a refreshed GM sound set, and 64 drumkits.
There is also an amazing multilayer stereo acoustic piano that was accurately
sampled from a Concert Grand, and includes String and Damper pedal Resonance.
Sounds are fully editable and changes can be saved in the User area.
One very exciting feature added to the Pa600 is the option of
purchasing musical sounds and styles particular to specific regions around the
world. Up to 96MB of additional PCM allows many instruments to be accurately
added to the Pa600 sound engine and used with styles that were developed to
represent many of the popular musical styles of certain countries. Full details
on the available options can be found at Korg.com
Effects
Great sound is more than just the quality of the PCM. For many
years, Korg has produced outstanding studio quality effects that are simply
breath-taking. The Pa600 has four Stereo Master Effect processors with 125 of
these effects including standard FX such as reverb, delay and chorus as well as
some of the universally acclaimed REMS guitar-based effects for authentic
guitar tones.
Each Track features EQ with Low, Mid and High controls. A custom
track EQ can be memorized in the general preferences for the Song Play mode.
This will help sculpt the sounds to your personal taste for any MIDI file you
play. Need a lighter bass track? Save the desired equalization, and the Bass
will stay light with all the subsequent Songs.
A limiter and final 4-band parametric EQ, have been added to the
sound output of the Pa600. Everything can be processed by this powerful and
musically refined EQ, easily adapting the sound to your musical taste or
adjusting sound in a problematic live environment.
Styles
The Pa600 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 Pa600
provides styles for almost every occasion. If you require a special Style
collection, simply record and edit your own styles on board.
We add further realism to your performance with four Fills, Break,
three Intros and three Endings. More flexibility is added by the choice of
different transposition tables to suit any instrument characteristic, and the
stunning Guitar Mode 2 adds a totally new perspective to how realistic Guitar
tracks can sound. If you need both hands to play a solo passage, record your
chord sequence and let the Pa600’s Chord Sequencer play it for you.
Compact,
yet powerful
The Pa600 is one of the easiest arrangers to carry around. While
its size might appear compact, the power of the onboard, exceptionally
high-quality custom designed amplification system is anything but small. The 2
x 15-watt amplifiers drive two loudspeakers in a bass-reflex box to generate a
powerful listening experience.
Easy to
use
With all the technological power that’s packed inside, it was
vital that we also made the Pa600 easy to understand and use. Your experience
using the Pa600 should be intuitive, musical, fast and fool proof. The panel
layout has been simplified, and our graphical user interface utilizes an
amazing Graphical Color Touch Screen, so you simply think, point and click for
easy and intuitive use - RX Technology at work for you!
So that musicians of all levels can make great music quickly,
there are two interface modes: Easy and Expert. Easy mode shows only the most
important controls while keeping a clean and straightforward 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 are assignable so your live performances work the way you
want, and when you don’t remember where a file, song or style was saved, just
use the Search feature to let the Pa600 find it for you.
Play
any song, and view it as traditional music notation
The player on board the Pa600 can read MIDI, KAR and MP3 files. It
can also read lyrics and chords from most of these files, and add markers
on-the-fly to MIDI files. Traditional score viewing is also available for those
who prefer to read music.
The Score Viewer displays the lead track (or any other track) as
clear and plain traditional musical notations with notes or chords, together
with lyrics and chord abbreviations. Chord names can also be seen in different
languages (English and Italian). For music learners, we also added a function
to show note names next to each note.
SongBook
This exciting feature was developed to make your life easier while
playing live. The SongBook is a Musical Database that’s completely user
programmable, containing all the settings needed to play a particular song. You
only have to search for the title of the song you would like to play, select it
and hit “Play”. The SongBook can use styles, MIDI files, or MP3s, and can
immediately recall settings such as Song Title, Genre, Artist, Tempo, Volumes,
Sounds, Muted Tracks, FX settings, Easy Edit, STS*, Master Transpose and more.
Everything that you need to play your song perfectly is in the SongBook; a
useful musical feature that is unique to Korg.

all the real time tracks (Upper 1, 2, 3 & Lower).)
