Translated to english......

The Last generation of keyboard Arranger Pa 2X…

Korg announces exit of a new arranger, the PA2X, logical continuation of the célébre series of Pa, this new model will begin again what with fact succés of this series with notable improvements.

With a new sound generator (approximately 1000 sounds in ROMANIAN), nouyeaux styles, the guitar mode, extensible memory of echantilionnage of 128 Mo has 256 Mo, reader and coder MP3 of origin and hard disk interns, the synth/Pa2X arranger is without question a new reference!
Pa2X is the very new arranger KORG, this one has a keyboard of 76 notes, harmonic pull knobs, a memory of sounds in ROMANIAN increased, a reader coder MP3, an increased memory of sampling of 256Mo, a hard disk interns and does not have internal amplification. For the remainder, Pa 2X has the same characteristics as Pa800. Here below new innovating functions of Pa2X:
New function: the guitar mode
The guitar new fashion of Pa2X makes it possible from now on to the c1avierists to obtain in real times of authentic rhythmic, arpeggios and riffs of guitar (acoustlque or electric). This new function makes it possible to simulate with a realism surprising various ways of scraping the cords, to choke them like D different technical of guitar on the keyboard of Pa2X. The result is so impressive that one seeks the guitarist behind Pa 2X!

The guitar mode appears also a tool impossible to circumvent for the recording of standard files MIDDAY and musical styles.
New reader 1 coder MP3:

With Pa2X, it is possible maintaining in real time to modify the reading rate of the MP3 without modifying the transposition (the pitch) and vice versa (to transpose the reading of the MP3 without modifying speed). You can also read simultaneously two files MP3 using the two internal sequencers of Pa2X.

If this is real......

It's seems to be nothing more than a new Pa1X design with an slice of Pa800 OS, and a memory customised for the Romanian market only.

In short, not a p1X replacement, but more of the same designed for a very specific market.
The mere fact that it also stays it's the last of the line also suggests this.

Regards.
Sharp.

No, this is not a PA1X replacement.

Sharp,

Will it finally be possible to route upper channels to audio output 3&4 WITH effects on?

I did not observe any disk drives (floppy/CD drive). The fundamental keyboard looks the same. I guess all of the surprises are definately internal. I like the adjustible display.

Fact is for me, the Pa1x-Pro rocks. I will have no need for extra bells and whistles. My music is simple and standard. One must consider what type of genre they will use the most.

I like what one of the members stated some while ago. If someone has a need for more space, remove many of the styles they will never, ever use.
i.e., I will never in my life ever play Romanian, Indian, Lithoanian, Bosonian or what have you. Don't get me wrong "I ain't hatin", to each his own. Literally. I thank God for my Pa1x-Pro. If I purchase another board it will be the Pa800 for transporting only. I am quite sure Korg will come out with another miracle baby unlike the Pa2x, Pa1x and its direct descendant the Pa800. That's life in the big city.

Another twist the the original thread. I was at the NAMM Show this year. Nothing was mentioned or stated about a Pax2. This might be a hoax.

No disrespect to you Sharp you are a credible individual. I am basically a sceptic by nature. ("Doubting Thomas") I have to see it and feel it.

Interesting...
I think only Paolo could confirm this for us.

I am not suggesting that the PA2X doesn't exist but the image on that website has definitely had work done on it. I would like to see a clear picture of it and some Korg confirmation.

I seem to remember the PA2X appearing some time ago.

Sorry, sounds a little disbelieving - I'll wait 'til Korg announces it, and as Sharp says, it doesn't really sound like a "new" arranger keyboard.

Cheers

Pete (just my opinion)

How could such a product be created and sanctioned by Korg without ANY official press release or marketing info????

Something is pretty fishy here..............!!!

Yea, why is it in a language which the majority of us do not underestand?

Hey Sharpy,

Sharp wrote:and a memory customised for the Romanian market only.

That's a mistranslation by the software you used.

The French reads "(environ 1000 sons en ROM)" which means "around 1000 sounds in ROM". No Romanians involved

Daz got it, i was like what the hell...ROMANIAN synth? When they didnt
dedicate one to Turkey or Middle East i dont think Romania will be seeing
any KORG dedicated to them soon.

Waver · Post by **Waver** » Mon Aug 27, 2007 10:19 am

I noticed also there's no CD or floppy drive in the front but maybe on the side!!!!!!!
I think there's something wrong with this picture.. and I don't believe Korg could make a PA2X from a PA800!! something wrong for sure.

dani_korg · Post by **dani_korg** » Mon Aug 27, 2007 10:29 am

DAZ,u have right about "ROM".
NEDIM,do not forget that ROLAND released the EXR-e2 model dedicated to EASTERN EUROPE with some voices and styles (some of them designed in Romania).Well,it is not a profesional arranger....but .."algo es algo"(something it is something

).
