Korg Pa1000 Professional Arranger — Performance That Takes You Places

The Korg Pa1000 Professional Arranger is a 61-key workstation built for live musicians who want flagship-grade sound without flagship-grade weight. At its core sits Korg's EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded) engine, paired with 128-voice polyphony and over 1,750 ready-to-play sounds covering pianos, organs, brass, strings and guitars. This model ships with more than 430 factory Styles, each a complete backing band ready to follow your chord changes.

What Sets the Pa1000 Apart in the Arranger Category

Defined Nuance Control shapes articulations in real time using the joystick, three assignable switches and aftertouch — saxophones growl, trumpets respond to embouchure changes, harmonicas breathe. With the onboard KAOSS FX engine adding 65+ presets for liquid remixing of Styles and MIDI Songs, TC-Helicon delivers up to 3-voice harmony, EQ, compression and gating for studio-grade vocal polish.

Sound Engine Power for Demanding Arrangements

Polyphony and sound depth matter most when a full band plays underneath your right hand. The EDS-X engine gives headroom for layered pianos, drawbar organs and orchestral stacks without voice stealing.

• Polyphony: 128 voices — sustains full arrangements with no note dropouts
• Sound Library: over 1,750 factory sounds — including two multi-layer stereo grand pianos with damper and body resonance
• Want to build your own sounds? The 600 MB compressed (300 MB linear) user sample memory lets you load KORG, WAV, AIFF and SoundFont samples for custom patches and drum kits.

Semi-Weighted Action with Aftertouch

The semi-weighted keybed is the player's main contact point, tuned for piano-style expression and organ-style glides.

• Keyboard: 61 semi-weighted keys (C2–C7) — velocity-sensitive with aftertouch for expressive bends and swells
• Defined Nuance Control: joystick + 3 assignable switches — adds growl, breath and embouchure realism to solo instruments
• With the Keyboard Set Library you can store over 300 factory and 864 user setups for four-part splits and layers per song.

Live-Ready I/O for Any Stage Rig

Connection flexibility decides whether an arranger slots into an existing rig or fights it. The Pa1000 puts analogue I/O, MIDI, USB and HDMI on a single rear panel.

• Audio Inputs: MIDI IN, 6.3 mm TS Line L/R, 6.3 mm TS MIC/Guitar L — plug a mic or guitar straight in
• Audio Outputs: HDMI, MIDI OUT, 6.3 mm TS Line L/R, 6.3 mm TRS Headphone/Line — drive a stage monitor, mixer or external lyrics display for the audience
• USB: 2x USB-A HOST + 1x USB-B DEVICE — connect controllers and memory sticks

Built for Working Performers, Singers and Composers

This instrument is the right choice for gigging keyboardists, solo singer-instrumentalists and media composers who need one instrument covering backing band, lead sounds, vocal processing and on-stage lyrics. Solo performers benefit from TC-Helicon harmony and the SongBook database that recalls every parameter with one button press. Church musicians and tribute acts will appreciate the 430+ factory Styles, Quarter Tone / Arabic Scale presets and HDMI lyrics output.

The Korg Pa-Series Legacy

Korg has produced some of the most respected arranger keyboards in the world, used by professional musicians across every continent. The Pa1000 represents a massive leap forward from the legendary Pa900, quadrupling PCM memory and expanding user Style locations to 1,152. Housed in a slim chassis with aluminium side-panel inserts, it carries the Pa-Series DNA into a more affordable, stage-friendly form.
