KORG's sound quality is universally recognized as superior and relied on by musicians around the world. First, in its class, the Pa300 delivers an even richer, more detailed, sophisticated natural sound than ever before, with musical instruments from almost every genre brimming with depth, nuance, subtlety, accuracy, and richness. Over 950 sounds are preloaded, including a renewed GM sound set, and 64 drum kits. There is also an amazing multilayer stereo acoustic piano, accurately sampled from a Concert Grand, which includes string and damper pedal resonance. *Sounds are fully editable and changes can be saved in the User area.A Full Complement of EffectsOf course great sound is about more than the instruments. For many years, KORG has produced outstanding studio-quality effects that are simply breathtaking. The Pa300 has 4 Stereo Master Effects processors, with 125 of these effects including standards such as Reverb, Delay, and Chorus and some universally acclaimed REMS guitar-based effects for authentic guitar tones. Each Track features an 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 to adapt the sound to personal taste for any MIDI file you play.Professional QualityMatching this high sound quality, the Pa300 delivers a new set of deluxe styles, programmed by some leading arrangers in the world; each one bringing unique musical strengths. The result is hundreds of preloaded Styles that provide unparalleled realism and detail. Covering an expanded range of musical genres, the Pa300 gives you Styles for almost every occasion. Composition Support FunctionsAutomatic accompaniment with rich, detailed realistic backing patterns (Styles) created by professional programmers from around the world will provide useful ideas for your arrangements. Simply play a chord progression and the Quick Record function will complete the basic backing tracks. The Pa300 is a simple but powerful composition tool for any musician!Compact, yet PowerfulThe Pa300 is one of the easiest arrangers to carry around. But while its size might appear diminutive, it’s not the same with regard to the power of the onboard, exceptionally high-quality custom-designed amplification system. The 2 x 13 Watt amplifiers drive the 2 loudspeakers in a bass-reflex box to generate a rich, powerful listening experience.Easy to UseWith all the technological power packed inside, it was vital that we also made the Pa300 easy to understand and easy to use. But even more, we wanted the entire user experience with the Pa300 to be an intuitive, musical, fast, foolproof process. The panel layout has been revised and our graphical user interface uses an amazing Graphical Color Touch Screen so you simply think, point, and click for easy and intuitive use.Interface ModesThere are two interface modes so that a musician of any level can start making great music quickly: Easy and Expert. The Easy mode shows only the most important controls while keeping a clean and straightforward interface, useful for beginners, or playing live. Nothing stands between you and your professional performance. Of course, in Expert mode, you have full editing control. Your live performances will work the way you want. The Search function lets you track down a file, a Song, or a Style.
