Korg PA500

The interactive Korg Pa500 arranger keyboard is a perfect musical partner for musicians, composers, performers and entertainers. Like its big brothers— the Pa800 and the Pa2XPro—, the Pa500 usesKorg's RX (Real eXperience) technology to deliver unprecedented arranger keyboard sound. With exclusive Korg features such as the XDS Dual Sequencer, intuitive TouchView interface, quarter-tone on-the-fly and a 4-way joystick for realistic articulation, the only thing really missing is a big price tag.
