to alert the user to the presence of uninsu-

lated “dangerous voltage” within the prod-

uct’s enclosure that may be of sufﬁcient

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric

shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the

presence of important operating and main-

tenance (servicing) instructions in the lit-

erature accompanying the product.

Other notices

Automatic power-off

To avoid wasting power, Pa5X will by default au-

tomatically enter standby mode after two hours

of non-active use (playing, pressing buttons or

using the touch-screen). Please save your data

(Keyboard Sets, Styles, Songs, and so on) before

taking a prolonged pause.

Data handling

Data in memory may sometimes be lost due to

incorrect user action. Be sure to save important

data to the internal memory or to an external

USB device. KORG will not be responsible for

damages caused by data loss.

Display handling

Be very careful not to force the display when tilt-

ing it. Fully lower the display before carrying the

instrument. Also, be very careful not to apply

too much pressure on the display while carrying

the instrument, or it might break.

Cleaning

If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a

clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such

as benzene or thinner, or cleaning compounds

or ﬂammable polishes.

Use a soft cotton cloth to clean the display.

Some materials, such as paper towels, could

cause scratches and damage it. Computer wipes

are also suggested, provided they are speciﬁ-

cally designed for LCD screens.

Do not spray any liquid on the LCD screen direct-

ly. Always apply the solution to your cloth ﬁrst,

then clean the screen.

Wooden sides

The instrument’s sides are made of natural

wood, whose characteristics vary from piece to

piece. The more it is used, the more beautiful

it will become. If you notice any irregularities,

these are to be considered unique intrinsic char-

acteristics, which further enhance its natural

origin.

Example screens

Some pages of the manuals show snapshots of

the screen along with an explanation of func-

tions and operations. All sound, style, song or

parameter names, as well as shown values, are

merely examples and may not always match the

actual display you are working on.

Introduction

Welcome to Pa5X!

Many thanks, and congratulations on purchasing the KORG Pa5X Professional

Arranger! We’re sure it’ll give you countless hours of enjoyment making great

music at home or on a stage.

Pa5X is an elegant and powerful music production workstation. It is easy to use,

with a clear user interface, based on the reclinable color touch screen, and the

illuminated buttons on the control panel showing color-coded functions. The nat-

urally responsive 88-note piano-like hammer-action keyboard, and the 76- and

61-note semi-weighted keyboards, are designed for a completely authentic feel

and full control of expression.

Robust and reliable, Pa5X is excellent as a live instrument, but it is also a pow-

erful creative tool in studio, helping you in writing songs or soundtracks, while

generating a produced sound that makes the perfect demo or ready-to-use me-

dia music.

The onboard sounds, based on our EDS-X (Enhanced Deﬁnition Synthesis-

eXpanded) sound engine, range from ultra-realistic acoustic instruments, to

electric vintage keyboards, to synth classics, with the addition of fantasy sounds

and special effects for media and cinema production. We also included instru-

ments from various ages and cultures, leaving ample room for your own expan-

sions.

Pa5X is easy to control, via the KORG’s DNC (Deﬁned Nuance Control) system,

allowing the performer to accurately and expressively introduce the most subtle

nuances and sound articulation. Faders, switches, real and virtual matrices of

realtime controls, a joystick and a ribbon controller, allow for immediate access

to all the parameters of the sound.

The sounds are processed by an elaborate chain of effects, including ﬁnal ef-

fects for each of the Players and for the Keyboard Sounds. The ﬁnal mastering

effects on the audio outputs, making the instrument’s sound ‘blended’ and ‘pro-

duced’, are the result of KORG’s long term cooperation with Waves Audio, the

world reference in studio mastering effects.

To listen with the best audio quality, even at the lowest volume for rehearsing

at night, you can add the optional KORG PaAS Ampliﬁcation System, which has

been speciﬁcally designed to connect directly to Pa5X.

6| Introduction

The optional modern, stylish dedicated ST-SV1-BK stand makes the instrument

a solid statement on stage, and a stylish piece of modern furniture in your living

room.

Pa5X’s included KORG XDS Crossfade Dual Sequencer/Player can be used to

freely preload and mix Styles and Songs. You can also create your own Styles,

and record your own MIDI and MP3 Songs. Automatic harmonization, the chord

sequencer, a sophisticated chord recognition engine, can create the rich ar-

rangement of a competent pop or jazz player.

With both Songs and Styles you can show lyrics and chords in the internal or an

external display, and you can convert any MIDI Song track into a readable score.

Markers allow for jumping back to a passage you wish to repeat, for example in a

piece you are studying or rehearsing, or for repeating a section live.

You can record a MIDI Song using a full-featured Sequencer. Even easier, just

record what you sing and play (including MP3 Songs) as an MP3 ﬁle, and listen

to it anywhere you like.

Song and Style can be saved into the onboard SongBook, whose database-like

entries are easy to synchronize with external score readers on a tablet. You can

therefore use a digital music book to control your Pa5X.

Microphone and guitar can be connected to the dedicated audio inputs, and pro-

cessed with the excellent onboard effects. Our long experience in vocal harmo-

nies and guitar effects is entirely included here. And the Vocal Remover will let

you sing along with any MP3 Song.

There is more, much more, and we invite you to explore Pa5X in depth. Pa5X is

the most evocative, powerful, easy-to-use complete Professional Arranger ever

produced. Enjoy your musical life with the new Pa5X!

backups of your data. Press the FILE button to go to the File page, select the

Internal group, select the All folder, and choose the Save command from the page

menu (on the top right corner). Then save the data into an external storage device.

Restoring a safety copy

To restore a backup of User data, reload the backup data. If it is an external

device, connect the backup storage device. Press the FILE button to go to the

File page, select the Drives group and then the external storage device. Select

the folder where you backed up your data, and choose the Load command from

the page menu (on the top right corner). Then load the data into the internal

memory. If you like, you can only reload some individual elements.

Restoring the original factory data

In case you want to restore the original factory data, use the Factory Restore

command you can ﬁnd in the File > Menu > Factory Restore page.

WARNING: This operation will overwrite all the User data!

are released. You can download the most up-to-date operating system from our

supplied with the operating system.

You can see which version of the operating system is installed in your Pa5X by

going to the File pages, and choosing the System Info command from the page

menu.

system. This may contain new features and bug ﬁxes.

WARNING: Do not install an OS other than the ofﬁcial OS supplied by KORG for

the Pa5X. Trying to install an OS created for different models or downloaded

from unofﬁcial web sites may cause data loss and permanent damage to the

instrument. KORG is not responsible for any damage caused by improper instal-

lation of the OS.
