Korg PA50SD Arranger Keyboard with SD Reader 61 Key PA-50SD

For years, the PA50 has  been the most popular member of the Korg Pa  family. Its amazing sound, ease of use, and  affordable price point has proved a winning  combination. Now, after much demand, the  Pa50 has been brought up to date with the  Pa50SD. Replacing the old-school floppy  drive, the Pa50 instead offers fast and  reliable SD data card storage. The use of SD  data cards also makes it much more  convenient to share and store data on a  computer.

As a songwriting station or as a back-up  band, you can be sure the Pa50SD’s  performance will be truly musical. The  Pa50SD combines enhanced sequencing  functions, powerful performance features,  custom backlit LCD, comprehensive arranging  tools and impeccable sound quality.

Excellent Sound and Instant Control

Based on the TRITON synth engine the Pa50SD  sound quality is second to none! Included  with its 660 editable sound programs is a  set of very expressive solo instruments,  sampled with a natural vibrato. Four  studio-quality effect processors are  available and feature 89 different effect  types. Four assignable pads, an assignable  footswitch, the joystick, sync start, fade  in and out, tap tempo, accompaniment reset  and other front panel functions are  available at your fingertips.

Listen to demos of the Pa50SD’s amazing  sounds.

Musical Styles

Each of the 304 editable Styles provides up  to eight accompaniment parts – drums, bass,  percussion and more – that respond  interactively with your playing. Eight  parts, four Variations, two Fills, two  Intros and two Endings per Style provide all  you need to create a natural-sounding  performance. In addition to the eight parts  that comprise a Style, up to four sounds are  available on the keyboard as real-time  parts. The Pa50SD can also store 160 user  defined Performance settings, each instantly  recalling the style, sounds, effects,  panning, transposition and other settings  assigned to each part.

Extensive Sequencing

In addition to traditional real-time and  step-time sequencing, the Pa50SD also  features our unique Backing Sequencer, which  can capture up to eight tracks of Style  accompaniment and up to eight tracks of real  time playing in a single pass. The PA50SD is  GM and SMF compatible and in performance,  nothing beats the revolutionary XDS Dual  Sequencer. Lyrics embedded in SMF sequences  are shown in the Display.

Rich, Stereo Sound

The Pa50SD features two dual-cone speakers  in a reflex cabinet and twin 15 Watt  amplifiers. Korg Pa Series Website
