Meet the KORG Pa5X 

You know what korg...Korg user here....Yes I get it..New styles, sound engine etc...Can you just make a very very light compact arranger that has that sound board? An arranger keyboard that is light like the kross 2 that has features like that....I assure you korg, that will be the best selling korg ever made! I'm a musician. Please listen to us.

Finally something with power and quality not made from plastic

The keyboard looks great. If I'm not playing it I'd probably be staring at it the whole day...

Excellent sound, especially the drum sound.

Another level. Absolutely beautiful. Well done Korg, well done!!!

This is an amazing instrument. I love creating styles on it 😀

C'est le premier clavier arrangeur haut de gamme (que j'ai vu) qui possède à la fois un touché lourd, un châssis en alu, 88 touches, des sorties symétriques, etc. dans un seul instrument. Quel coup de maître de la part de Korg!

Finally he is here and nice system and a big update to the icons thanks Korg I hope to make copywriter for ho make programs like Yamaha 😘

FINALY A KEYBOARD/WORSTATION HAS AN HDMI.ive been waiting for this for what seems like an eternity!

Better audio quality and presets than before, good job.

Mais um mega lancamento.... e eu ainda com meu Korg PA 600 batendo Certo!!!!!

First Arranger that I like, alongside a handful og Gem arrangers.

I love Korg ❤

I have pa5x 76 too and I love it

Awesome keyboard

It’s Gorgeous 🫣😵‍💫😍😍

🔻 Estimated converting time from .SET to .KST: 2 hours (500Mb set) 🔻 Loading same set on keyboard: 20-25 min 🔻 Pads of screen should not act as a play button. When clicking on a pad on the screen, it should open the menu for you to select another pad like on every previous model. 🔻 Fill-in button after half of measure with your style on will play only your drums from the fill-in while the variation drums and accompaniments play altogether. 🔻 Home Screen needs mixer at all times. For live performers, we need levels of our drums, bass, accompaniments, lower and uppers on the screen the whole time. We don’t have the time to look and switch pages for this. 🔻 If your style is on and you turn on a pad, if the pad is more than two measures long, it will only start on the second measure. Regardless of when you click the pad. 🔻 When selecting a different pad, after clicking 4 buttons and pages to get there, it takes you to factory pads and not where the original pad is on your user. When you do select another pad, the volume automatically goes to 100 and the FX send automatically goes to 40. 🔻 Selecting a style is not fast enough. After you click on a new style while playing, it will blink a few times before it selects it. Most of the time, this is way over a measure and a half of the current style playing. This is not ideal for live performers. 🔻 There is no way for you to select the second style and have it in sync with the first one even with tempo lock on. It’s humanly impossible. Your tempo will match but you cannot physically hit the second style perfectly on beat with your first one. 🔻 If your pads are on while your style is playing, as soon as you select a new style, your pads turn off instantly. Way before the new style even comes on. 🔻 Intro 1 is not supposed to play your lowers when selected. Your lowers should work for intro 2 but not for intro 1. There’s a reason for that. Some people's intro 1 plays a melody or plays different chords. 🔻 We should have a preference of not having the lists of styles, sounds and pads be in alphabetical order. People had these organized on the 4x into separate folders and pages. 🔻 If you are used to having a certain sound or drum kit you like on (user 1, page 3), you know it’s there 100% and you learn it that way. Not anymore, because everything is in alphabetical order, things will move every time you add a new sound, pad, style, song, drumkit, etc. complete disaster if you know where your things are. 🔻 Acc. 3 freezes on the first chord you hit instead of chords you are playing. Same goes with some bass on styles. I’m playing a different chord progression, acc. 3 is stuck on the first chord without changing. 🔻 Some styles I made have drums or percussion that is detuned using my pitch bender. It will not play the correct detune until the second measure of the style. 🔻 If you are using quarter scale, this is not the keyboard for you. It will switch on and off at random. It’s almost like every few seconds it will play your quarter tone and then go back to equal scale. Non-stop. 🔻 When making a new style, the menus for quantize, delete, velocity, cut and others are missing. 🔻 The bass should not be the first in order. Every keyboard since day 1 has it as follows….drums-percs-bass-acc1-acc2-acc3-acc4-acc5. 🔻 We need an option to customize your own keyboard. There are photos for every sound and drumkit next to it. You cannot select the photo you want when saving a new sound or style. 🔻 Website says we have 4GB and 8GB compressed but the keyboard shows we have 2.5GB. Not even close to what Korg is advertising on their website. If you think you're going to have 4GB of space when buying this keyboard, you’re going to be extremely upset to find out you have only 2.5GB of space. 🔻 There should be an option on the main Home Screen from the drop menu to show only one style instead of two. Not everyone will be using two styles since they can’t even sync them perfectly anyways. It would be nice if you hold shift and play on the style for it to sync with tempo and for it to start perfectly with the current style playing. 🔻 When playing a pad that is a loop, a slice from the loops starts when you press the button. It doesn’t start where the loop should resume naturally. 🔻 If you start with a pad that is a loop (without the style being on) and then turn on the style after, the pad will be off from the style by milliseconds. Your ear will catch it and you know it’s not perfectly on. 🔻 When you hit your fill button, the variation will not go to the first measure, regardless if you have it set to start on the first measure. 🔻 If you have a pad that is an accompaniment or guitar, it turns off when you turn off the memory for your chords. 🔻 There is no Kaoss. 🔻 There is no option for midi to style converter. 🔻 Locked sets will not work nor convert. 🔻 If you have a folder with only styles, you will not be able to open it and view any of them. It must be a set folder for it to convert to the the KST format. 🔻 No support for EC-5. 🔻 For existing style, cv length cannot be changed. 🔻 There are factory styles that are still on here from the pa80. The house, dance, techno are not from this century. They are indeed what they say they are but not anywhere near the year 2022. So when you select dance, it is dance, just not this year. More like 1998 dance. 🔻 The screen, when all the way down, is not flush with the rest of the keyboard. It is slightly off and sits a little higher. 🔻 On the 4x, we were given a limit of approx. 15000 samples for 1.5GB of space. You are now given approx. 30000 for 2.5GB of space. Even though Korg advertises it as it giving you 4GB. 🔻 Korg needs to stop changing the format of extensions for styles, sets, sounds, etc. The person buying the pa5x is 99.9% coming from a 4x. And that person also came from a 3x and so on. It was already annoying enough that you couldn’t load 3x sets on the 4x without loading the folders separately. Now it’s just a jumble mess for people trying to switch over to a keyboard they thought they were familiar with. 🔻 Let’s be honest, wood sidings with a metal body do not go. Ever. With anything. 🔻 If you are from the Balkans or the middle eastern region and have a locked USB set, it will not work on here... And much more surprises for you. Sincerelly Korg.

Hermoso frontal parece un mini estudio digital casi ya lo es como todas las funciones que trae fabuloso Argent

Absolutely beautiful design, I had a Roland FA series, but I trashed it when I seen this peace of art. Your not only going to be making art but playing art, I get chills just looking at it.

Wow Very Cool

I am big fan korg... from india

My Next Keyboard 😀

Amazing,,👍👍

Superb bro

I’ve just been waiting for the for 88 version

Mantab nihh udah rilis

Finally 💕💕

I see you've secured a much better UI/UX designer

fantastic....just wondering if we can import drum loops and use the arranger...this will be great..

Very good ☺️

Question... Because of space issues in my 2 studios, I bought 2 Nautilus Keyboards (61&76) and I am really impressed on the how great the key bed is for a non-hammer action bed. You can really play fast without losing the sensitively on that Nautilus key bed. Amazing. Question, will the 61 & 76 Pa5X have the same key bed feel as the Nautilus 61 & 76?

Updated List of New Bugs Found on PA5X 🪳 ▫️ For musicians that use lower such as strings, almost 100% of us do, you cannot turn of the pitch bender for the lower. It will bend with your sound on uppers. This function does not work. ▫️ Songbook entry will not start on intro if your intro is selected to begin with. It will play the selected variation for a measure THEN go to intro as you saved it. Also you cannot select the songbook entry to the other player. Meaning if you’re on player 1, you may not select your songbook entry for player 2 and have it ready. ------------------------ 🔻 Estimated converting time from .SET to .KST: 2 hours (500Mb set) 🔻 Loading same set on keyboard: 20-25 min 🔻 Pads of screen should not act as a play button.

ALMOST 1 YEAR WAITING ! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THE SOFTWARE FOR QUIK RECORD THAT WAS FORGOTTEN TO INCLUDE IT IN THE PA 5X ?

Yes!!

Hi! I was just wondering. Can one use Manual bass, and add Style accompaniment. Meaning it's scanning chord from the full keyboard, with bass as the root of chord , and rest from the what's played with your right hand

Excellent demo! Korg is leading brand in making arranger keyboard. I really like the design and over all improvements with the bunch of new features, it is now very much close to the proper workstation. I have sold many Korg arranger keyboard and helping my customer for the functionality, I am sure this will sell more than a very much successful Pa4x but for that Local data is super important and it’s a key selling point, Anyway! I have a one question which fatar action is used in 88 key version? there’s no information on Korg website. Thanks! ❤️

Very cool. This looks like a hybrid of the PA3X/4X and also the Yamaha Genos and Roland Fantom keyboards, combined with the SST technology of the Kronos/Kronos 2/Nautilus. Now I hope that Korg bring out a new successor to the Kronos. Yes I know that people are going to say 'oh but that's the Nautilus', but I strongly believe that that is only a placeholder while Korg bring out a new workstation, although in my opinion they shouldn't have discontinued the Kronos before releasing the new workstation, but I digress.

If you are confused as to which type of keyboard suits your needs then Korg also have a video going over the differences between an arranger keyboard and workstation even though it's a fairly old video. But unless you need auto accompaniments and other features typical of an arranger then an arranger keyboard is not worth buying unless you know you need those type of functions. In short arranger keyboards are a niche market for one man band keyboardists and songwriters rather than sequencing 100% original music.

Que Bestia! 🤤

Sounds great, stick these sounds into a desktop module for

Thank you Korg! This lools and sounds great to me. Definitely will get one! Probably the 76 keys version…

Korg should work with SWAM instruments and implement all of their instruments on board. Then this would be the perfect keyboard.

Korg awakes from its slumber. The features are many. The sound remains TBD.

BUT WHY THE quick stile backing recording is not available? or avoided? is the software for this being develop? now is not possible to quick record within the stile midi recording. so important when creating and editing songs! I really need it. (in pa5x 76 bought) also the connector of the good multi pedal ec5 is gone!

Would you say that the new Vocal Processor is an improvement over the TC Helicon version in the Pa4X or is the Pa5X a trimmed-down version for Vocal Processing?

How many bits are outbound?

Thanks for the video. Huge learning curve. A Korg lover, 800, 3x and 4x, i still wonder about the acoustic pianos. I keep dreaming for a Nord piano.

Balancing the accompaniment against the keyboard ...how do you do this

Does Pa5x has the ability to combine multiple midi songs together in the sequence mode.

My Genos is very good and Korg will have to convince me to change. To me on a couple of demos i have heard the PAX5 sounds a little more thinner than the Genos

How about demonstrating the 88 key version please

Why didn't you include assign chords to pad like the Korg M3? I'm gonna have to fix my Korg M3 display because it's on of the best keyboards to use as a midi controller. It works perfect with FL studio.

Some much on piano and organ and strings . I want to hear the electric guitars and the quality of the saxophones to convince me everything else i like but it has to be comapible with Cubase like Genos. The saxes on the Genos are great

Can the PA 5X be played as a quarter note instrument? That is to say, is there a Persian tuning option?

Super

Amazing... Korg Is the best..

KORG достойный аппарат!😊👍🇷🇺

Where is the new software update for the pa5x? 3 months ago was in a month, nothing, then in the next month, then again and nothing appears ! lacking of many things

Pa 5x is great for me and professional keyboadist....

waiting for a response from Arturia

So glad I didn't buy the PA4X last Christmas. The wait was worth it, I would of been so frustrated now. Ordering one as soon as is available.

In the video manual related to the chapter "Recording" there is a lot of pages missing about the many features of the sequencer. So it seems. We have not seen on the pa5x manual the accurate description of how to Record in Step Backing Sequence -for example- and so on. Concluding are we sure that the pa5x has at least the same sequencer features of the Pa4x? If not I will not but the new model. Best regards

Can I route different style parts audio to those 6 audio outputs? That would be great for external mixing and effects.

korg why havent you made a vst yet? especially for oriental sounds?

Best korg

nice my love

FINALLY...an 88key arranger!! This video is only for the performer who wants a one person band on stage.....what about the creative artist? What about the composer/performer? What synth engine do we have to sound design on? The display for the sound design should have all this on one screen without switching menus: Both ADSR's for filter and amp / Filter and resonance / LFO / oscillators. What about the style creator, do we have unlimited control now, did you remove all the stupid photos from the screen so style creation becomes a single screen recording for one track? Did you remove all the stupid photos from all the screens? Photos take up valuable space on the screen, this is a top of the line arranger, it should be made for professionals and not have "cutezy" photos all over it. We don't need a piano photo when I have a correctly labeled instrument selected; If I label an instrument SteinwayD9foot....I don't need a photo of a piano! If you notice much anger in this comment it is because for the cost of these top-of-the-line arrangers we actually want a pro instrument. The 88key version should have the best acoustic piano ever sampled...AND....complete control over the tone of the piano so we can edit our OWN idea of what a piano should sound like...AND....to compensate for monitors or headphones that don't match what Korg used in the recording studio when sampling; this is just common sense. 32 band stereo equalizer is a minimum requirement, low pass filter, control of sympathetic resonance/pedal and keys, half pedaling, and a piano sample with a natural LONG decay found on the best pianos in the world. Piano effects for binaural seated player, concert hall listener, lid position, mic positions, hall size; the piano should be second to none in the industry. .....and so much more.... Korg is this the arranger I am looking for, or is this just another toy for unlimited income geeks.

I heard there was issue going on in Taiwan for shortage in supply in manufacturing components. Is it true? Since 3months looking for Korg PA700 & KORG KROME EX.

When was somebody do a tutorial on the 88 key version

Great, now all I need is to know how to play.

I'm guessing that there's no synthesizers or sampling capability on this keyboard am I correct?

🔥🔥🔥🎹🎹💪

How does this sequencer work? With a midi file? Can you make beats with it as well?

Hey guys which korg keyboard is best ?

If someone had this Korg or has an idea could u pls tell me of this kind of keyboard whether has a pedal sustain or it sustain works automatically?

SST from the KRONOS is a blessing. Any news about a new workstation flagship? cuz Kronos is getting old...

😍😍😍😍👌👌❤️❤️❤️

This PA5X is no doubt a great Arranger. Other tha technology info from the website site is there any place where all the feature of the PA5X be taught? O live in rural California and players hands-on knowledge is very hard to come to learn from. Can you point me in the right direction where I can learn those features hands-on?

🤤88 keys 🥰 😍🤗 ❤
