The Korg Pa588 is a digital piano and arranger keyboard that is for
the no-compromise pianist who wants to add an extra dimension or 2
to their performances. Korg created the Pa588 keyboard to be
sonically identical to the Pa500. The Korg Pa588 digital piano adds
Korg's 88-note, top-of-the-line RH3 graded hammer piano action, an
attractive stand, a half-damping pedal, and a more robust speaker
system, providing a complete instrument package. To complement this
superb piano action, Korg also equipped the Pa588 keyboard with the
incredible piano sound of their flagship C-720 Concert Digital
Piano. A dedicated "Play Piano" button instantly transforms the
Pa588 into a world-class digital piano.
Keys to Please
In addition to a satisfying and authentic keyboard, the Pa588
provides a four-way joystick, assignable switch, assignable slider,
and an assignable pedal jack. Four pads provide the tools to spice
up your performance by changing effect settings, adding or muting
parts, slowing the tempo, or even adding "mini-sequenced" solo,
arpeggio, or backing riffs. Nothing will stand between you and your
professional performance.
Real eXperience (RX) Technology
It all begins with sound. The Pa588 allows unparalleled expression
and articulation. For example, a single guitar sound may play a
harmonic, a mute note, a soft note, a loud note, a pull-off”all
determined by simply how hard you strike the key. They've even
included the sound of the pick lifting off the string when you
release the key. Overblown and triple-tongued flutes, brass slides
and falls, all of the facets that provide an instrument with its
own identity are preserved and easily replicated during performance
by the natural gestures of varying dynamics as you play. With up to
16 oscillators available per note in a single sound, the breadth
and range of realism is truly astounding. Based on the same EDS
(Extended Definition Synthesis) that powers the popular M3, the
Pa588 offers top-quality sound. Over 882 fully editable sounds are
preloaded, representing a full range of musical instruments from
almost every genre, each exploding with depth, nuance, subtlety,
accuracy, and richness.
Cause and Effects
Four internal effect processors allow you to add any of 124
different effects to any and all of the Style instruments and/or
the parts you play live (realtime tracks). Developed for Korg's
Digital Recording Studios and Pro-level workstation instruments,
these effects are all studio-quality and offer full parameter
editing. A final semi-parametric EQ allows even more custom
control.
The Elements of Style
The heart of the PA588 is the powerful Style engine. A Style is
basically a collection of drum grooves, bass lines, and other
instrumental parts that can be mixed together, transposed, and used
as the building blocks for creating your song. Each of the over 320
Styles is a self-contained song creation environment that includes
variations, fill-ins, an introduction and an ending, all themed to
a particular musical style and genre. You can chose which parts you
want to use, set the mix, select which sound each part will use,
edit and re-map drumkits, and assign various effects. Or you can
use each Style as it is, using the settings created by our
world-wide team of ace musicians. By constantly analyzing the notes
you play on the keyboard for voice leading and chord content, the
Pa Style engine is always in tune with your musical performance.
Guitar mode
When creating a guitar part for your Style, you can chose a chord,
capo position, and literally transform the keyboard into the
fretted strings of the chord to allow realistic picking patterns,
strums, chokes, slides, hammer-ons, and other guitar-specific
artifacts. As an added bonus, the Pa588 can automatically enhance
the guitar tracks of existing Standard MIDI files.
Creative Sequencing Scenarios
In addition to traditional track-at-a-time workstation sequencing,
the Backing Sequencer allows you to create songs quickly and easily
by capturing multiple Style driven parts at once. You don't need to
be a master programmer”even beginners can write their own song in
minutes. In fact, you don't even need to play at all. Using the
Step Edit/Entry feature, you can simply type in the chord changes,
fills, and style changes in step-time. This is a big boost for
arrangers and non-keyboardists. Once it's done, you can even try
out your finished song as a Latin bossa or a country ballad, making
it easy to find the right feel. This quick approach to programming
is also useful in the studio for creating professional,
great-sounding backing music for commercial, film, video,
multimedia, or internet applications. The sequencer provides
massive editing power allowing you to edit the tone parameters of
each track.
Non-stop Entertainment
With Korg's XDS Dual Songplayer, one can load as the other plays,
and a DJ-style cross fader can blend between them, providing a
seamless, continuous musical performance. The Pa588 can playback
SMF (Standard MIDI File), Karaoke files, and GM (General MIDI)
files - and is able to display lyrics in most popular karaoke
formats.
All together now
Need to switch sounds fast? STS (Single Touch Setting) buttons
allow you to have up to four sounds split and layered across the
keyboard and switch them all instantly with a single button press.
Four STS assignments can be saved independently for each Style.
Each of the 256 Performance settings can instantly recall the
Style, Sounds, effects, tempo, key and scale used to perform a
particular song.
Endless Possibilities
Time to add the finishing touches to your compositions? Each of the
four Pads can also be assigned to a sound effect, instrument solo /
arpeggio, or even one of your own riffs or phrases. Advanced
features such as Syncro Start/Stop, Fade In/Out, Tap Tempo, Bass
Inversion, and Manual Bass allow you to spontaneously add complex
and professional touches to your performances.
Expanding SongBook
The exciting SongBook feature was developed to make your life
easier while playing live or working on that next big hit. The
SongBook is a Musical Database, completely user programmable,
containing all the settings needed to play a particular song. You
have only to search for the song you would like to play by Song
Title, Genre, Artist, Tempo, etc., and press "play". Each SongBook
entry will instantly recall every setting you've saved in order to
play that song perfectly”Sounds, Style, Performance, Volumes, Muted
Tracks, FX settings, Easy Edit, STS settings, Master Transpose, and
more.
Less is More
With all this technological power packed inside, it was vital that
Korg made the Pa588 easy to understand and easy to use. Their goal
was to create an instrument that provides an intuitive, musical,
fast, foolproof experience. This is hopefully accomplished through
the TouchView display. Simply think, see, and touch the panel for
easy and intuitive control. Switch between Easy and Expert modes
for a clean, uncluttered screen or an in depth status report. When
you need more information, check out the on-board contextual Help
System in any of seven languages.
Save it for later
In addition to providing a USB/MIDI computer connection for moving
and saving data, the Pa500 can also save and read data from SD/MMC
memory cards for instant access to your custom data, MIDI files,
and songs. The back panel also features MIDI (In, Out), Audio Ins
(1, 2) and Outs (L, R), and pedal (damper, assignable) connections.
All-in-One
Hiding inside all of this is a full stereo sound system with four
premium speakers in a bass reflex enclosure for a high quality
sound in a small box. The Pa588 is completely self-contained and
easily transportable, whether rushing to a gig, jamming with
friends, or teaching a new tune to the band.
