Proven Sound Quality

What better place to start than Triton’s acclaimed HI sound generation and effect processing? So you know it delivers stunning sound quality and features a broad selection of great natural and synthetic sounds to inspire you. We added a new class of ultra-realistic solo instruments which include sampled natural vibrato, including Sax, Trumpet, Harmonica, Violin, Flute, and more. Finally, we added a set of Drawbar sounds for a true simulation of the classic organ sound.

All Programs can be edited on-the-fly, using the Easy Program Edit functions, by changing Attack, Decay, Release, LFO, Filter Cutoff and Resonance parameters. Any change will be stored into a Performance, for fast recall of the new Programs.

The PA-80 includes four powerful Master Effect processors, including all of Triton’s studio-level Master Effects for a total of 90 different effects. You can use them for a Song, or split them in two sections, to assign two of them to the realtime tracks, and the remaining two to the Style tracks. You can even route two different external audio sources into the internal Effect Processors to mix them into your Song or live performance. Since each audio input has a different Gain control, you can connect a microphone and a guitar at the same time, each with its own set of effects.

Professional Sound Reproduction

The PA-80 features a newly-designed stereo (22 watt per side) amplification and speaker system, which includes an Auto Loudness feature for smooth, deep, and powerful sound playback. And when you need to connect the PA-80 to an external mixer or recorder you have four outputs for greater routing flexibility. Our new system allows you to define which instrument goes to which output, so it’s easy to always route the Bass to OUT 1, or just the Snare to OUT 2 – it’s never been simpler!

Musical Styles

As well as being a professional Korg synthesizer, the PA-80 provides a huge collection of music styles created by top musicians from around the world. Korg has received considerable acclaim for the natural performance of their accompaniment system, and for the most advanced chord recognition in the industry. With 152 editable Preload Styles and 48 User Styles the PA-80 can cover any situation you’ll ever encounter. With four Variations, two Fills, two Intros and two Endings you have all the variety to create a natural-sounding performance.

Revolutionary Sequencing

Recording your musical ideas is where the PA-80 provides its most distinct advantage. Where traditional workstations provide you an empty palette to start your idea with, the PA-80’s Backing Sequencer can take advantage of the accompaniment system to provide you with as little or as much of a band as you need. If you simply need drums, you can select a Style and create a drum track with the press of a few buttons, adding fills where needed. Want more? Use the full system to get up to eight players who will follow your every idea. After playing you can easily change chord ideas, break-downs etc. and the system will automatically change the parts needed so you can try out new ideas without re-recording everything.

This brings a simplicity and flexibility to creating music that the more complex but demanding traditional systems can’t match. So it’s the perfect tool for the non-keyboardist and for the professional who needs to work quickly. And the sounds you need to play yourself are separate from the sequencer tracks so there’s never any fear of note-robbing or effects setup compromises.

Dual Sequencer

The PA-80 further revolutionizes sequencing with its XDS Dual Sequencer Engine (patent pending). This new innovation allows the user to playback two independent sequences at the same time, with individual transport control for each sequence and a crossfader to switch between them. That’s a total of 40 tracks of sequence playback power – two sixteen track sequences plus four realtime tracks and four Pad tracks. Use it to create your own mixes drawn from more than one sequence, or to create long medleys of tunes with nice overlaps between songs.

Even More Innovations

The PA-80 features a powerful multitasking operating system which allows you to load a new Style while one is playing, load a new Program while a Song is playing, even edit sounds or Global parameters while listening to your song ideas. This makes working with it a fluid process – the technology never gets in the way of your creativity. Play data directly from floppy disk or optional internal hard drive, and use optional PCMCIA Flash-ROM cards to add more sounds, samples, grooves and styles to your world with no load time. And the Operating System can easily be updated, so expect some exciting new functions already planned for the near future.

Options to Expand Your Potential

FLASH-ROM (PCMCIA) CARD

If you want yet more choice, you can add an optional Flash-ROM (PCMCIA) card to your PA80 to access even more Programs and PCM samples. The cartridge will be directly connected to the Tone Generator so sample reading will be in real-time - no need to load the sample into RAM first.

VHG1 – VOCAL/GUITAR PROCESSOR BOARD

Hardware options include a vocal/guitar board that gives you two totally separate effect processors. In Guitar mode you have a complete set of multi-effects, e.g. modulation, noise reduction, distortion and compression, plus equalisation and you can use up to five effects simultaneously. The vocal processor includes a harmoniser that turns a single vocal into a four-part harmony, plus offers you effects and equalisation.

VIF1 – VIDEO INTERFACE BOARD

A video interface board (both NTSC and PAL compatible) is ideal for karaoke, putting the lyrics direct onto any TV screen. All options (including the Hard Disk) are user-installable.
