The Korg PA50SD - Now That's the Way to Make Music!

!±8± The Korg PA50SD - Now That's the Way to Make Music!

Surprisingly, the Korg PA50 has a lot to offer for its price. It's a synth with a sound engine like that of the Triton Le, which uses a hyper integrated synthesis tone generator system. That alone will blow you away.

Its lineup of impressive features include polyphony, 4 effect processors, 2 sequencers, 89 effect types (for mixing) and 660 sound programs. You can store up to 160 user-defined settings. The Backing Sequencer it has allows you to capture up to 8 tracks of style accompaniment. Plus, during live playing or recording, the DJ-style crossfader of the Korg PA50 allows you to transition from one song to the other seamlessly. With this, you can load the next song while the current one is still playing. The XDS dual-song player makes this possible.

The piano sounds produced are definitely top-notch. High-quality instrument voices it possesses are saxophone, guitars, trumpet, brass, drums and strings, plus, as an added bonus, you can edit and modulate these voices to produce just the sounds that you need. Combine this with the use of other controllable features of the Korg PA50 like the joystick, fade in and out, tap tempo and more and you have a lot of fun ahead. With some practice and patient reading of the manual, you can make serious music with it.

The keyboard is not weighted and feels like any synth keyboard out there, so you will notice anything unusual in this area, even if this is not your first synth. Its casing is made of plastic and is at par with other brands and models in its price range. The Korg PA50 is not flimsy but being a little careful is not a bad idea. It is not something you'd want to be too careless with, either.

It can be used for stage performances or a practice instrument either at school or at home. You can take it with you as it only weighs in at about 25 lbs (about 12KG - not counting the weight of accessories you'd want to take with you). It also has built-in dual cone speakers with 15-W amps that give its rich sound, perfect for both songwriting and gigs.

Since it's a synth more than just a digital piano, there are countless ways of controlling and editing the sounds that you might want to check the manual for. If you lose the manual, you can download it from Korg's website. The Korg PA50 OS is also available online if you need to download it, too. In fact Korg back-up is really quite good in this area for most of their keyboards.

This synth would be useful to musicians as an additional instrument to their set or as the main arranger for recording or live performances. While beginners can use this as a regular digital piano and just plug and play it out of the box, they can later explore other musical styles with a few button pushes so it's pretty flexible. You can compare the Korg PA50 with the EXR-5 or Yamaha PSR and you will find, I think, that the sound quality is a steal for the price.

Korg Triton Series

!±8± Korg Triton Series

Korg has been the leaders in synth and workstation production over the last few years with their Triton range and in 2006 there is no reason to suggest they don't hold this title. Korg at the moment make 4 different models of Tritons:
Triton Le Triton Extreme Triton Rack Triton Studio

All these models are based around a similar design and are have great sounds and lots of them. I personally own a Triton and the thing that I most love about it is that it has everything I need and it's all quality. There are a lot of synths out there that may have a lot of sounds but the sounds are very ordinary. With the Triton you have quality all round. Anyway let's talk about the features of the Korg Tritons.

Korg Triton Le

The Triton Le is the entry level synth of the Triton series. It takes all the best features of the Triton range and compiles it into a cost effective product by where you get a top quality synth without paying a lot of money. The Triton Le comes in 3 different sizes - 61 key (list price US60.00), 76 key (*), 88 key (list price US66.00). The 88 key Triton Le comes with a fully weighted grand piano keys and comes with an extra 16mb grand piano sample set.

Korg Triton Extreme

The Triton Extreme is the next model up from the Le and is the newest model to the Triton series. The Triton Extreme takes synths and workstations to a whole new level, its comes with a vacuum tube processor, USB CD burning and data sharing, compact flash storage and all the standard sounds and features of a Triton. Like the Triton Le the Triton Extreme comes in 3 different sizes - 61 key (list price US00.00), 76 key (list price US50.00), 88 key (list price US00). The Triton Extreme is a great synth/workstation if you want high performance and require enhanced features.

Korg Triton Rack

The Triton Rack is a rack mount version of the Triton series. It allows you to use all the functions and sounds of the triton series with any piano, keyboard, midi controller or other compatible synth. In terms of features the Triton Rack comes as a compact 2 space rack mount unit and contains 8 EXB-PCM expandable slots to add expansion boards. Its also allows you to have access to 2057 programs and 1664 combinations at any one point - including 256 GM programs and 9 GM drum programs. At a list price of US00.00 it is a great option is you already have a piano or keyboard that can act as a controller and you don't want to spend the big $$$$ for a Triton Studio or Triton Extreme.

Korg Triton Studio

The Korg Triton Studio is the top model of the Triton series and contains all the bells and whistles you could imagine. From initial recordings on the Triton Studio to creating audio CDs, from over 3000 programs and combinations combined, and with a 48 Mbyte PCM ROM (including 429 multi-samples and 417 drum samples) the Triton Studio is leading the way in the synth and workstation world. You Name It, It Has It! Like the Triton Le and Extreme, the Triton Studio comes in 3 different sizes - 61 key (list price US00.00), 76 key (list price US00.00) and the flagship of the Triton range, The Triton Studio 88 key (list price US00.00). If you are after THE BEST in synth and workstation technology than you can not go past the Triton Studio Range.

* - 76 key Triton Le is hard to find a price on since very little of them are sold.
