Everything will be processed by this easy, yet powerful and musically refined EQ, adding a personal signature to your sound. A final Master EQ, with Bass, Parametric Middle and Treble controls, is added to the sound output of the Pa800. The new table moves as few notes as possible, making legato lines and chord changes more natural. A new NTT Type has been added: NTT FIXED. NTTs (Note Transposition Tables) are the sophisticated algorithms that allow Korg arrangers to convert recognized chords into musical patterns. Now the Pa800 offers a unique and powerful approach to programming realistic guitar performance! There have been attempts to solve this problem using programs on personal computers. Mostly, the results of guitar tracks entered into Styles and MIDI songs are artificial, unmusical playing, often in need of deep micro-editing, preferably using an expensive MIDI guitar. Guitar tracks are usually a challenge for every Style and Song writer (possibly even more than the Drums track!) mainly for the completely different approach to the chord voicing, and because of the special instrument technique. Guitar Mode allows any musician to easily create realistic rhythm guitar parts. This requires the installation of the optional Pa800 MP3 board (available from July 2007). Record anything you play with the Pa800 – or sing with the integrated Voice Processor.
As in Pa1X, both fixed and variable bit rate MP3 files can be read, for the maximum compatibility. MP3 files start immediately, and can be freely transposed, accelerated or slowed down as if they where midifiles. Further improving on Korg’s XDS Double Sequencer concept, two MP3 files are allowed to start at the same time, as in a double DJ turntable or CD player.
The new operating system includes new features and enhancements, such as dual MP3 files playback, MP3 recording, Guitar Mode, a Master EQ and direct on-screen manipulation of sliders and knobs and more. Korg has released Operating System Version 1.5 for the Pa800.
