Music keyboards, known for their powerful functionality, have been long-established to contain various conventional tones such as piano, strings, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. And it is these tones that directly shape and influence the very songs that we listen to today.
Yet, a lack of exposure to our traditional musical instruments have led to a decline in the interest of our local music heritage. Imagine if we could empower our local musicians and composers with a new set of comprehensive traditional instrument sounds and musical styles that inspires and preserves 50 years of Singapore’s music history for the next generation.
As part of our ongoing commitment to promote local music in Singapore, Korg is proud to announce a brand new initiative to create Singapore’s very own music keyboard.
In collaboration with local distributor City Music, our aim is to create a keyboard that encompasses the traditional instruments sounds, as well as musical styles that define the music and culture of our three ethnic races – Chinese, Malay and Indian. This is a feat that has never been done before – until now.
Introducing the Pa600SG
The Pa600SG is a state-of-the-art arranger keyboard that features a huge collection of quality sounds and realistic backing accompaniments that is ideal to be used at home or on the stage.
Working with the latest technology from Korg’s highly-acclaimed series of arranger keyboards, the Pa600SG will be based on the hugely popular Pa600 and feature over 950 fully editable sounds as well as more than 360 pre-loaded music styles that includes traditional instrument sounds from the Chinese, Malay and Indian community. It also features an intuitive 7” touchscreen colour display and two 15-Watt speakers for sound amplification. The Pa600SG also comes with 4 stereo master effects and supports playback of a variety of formats like MIDI, KAR and MP3.
To mark Singapore’s 50th birthday, the Pa600SG is expected to contain 31 ethnic instruments as well as 43 or more accompanying styles that are unique to our three ethnic groups.
Besides being compact, inexpensive powerful and superb-sounding, the Pa600SG comes equipped with the most up-to-date collection of quality sounds and styles combined.
The Pa600SG is a brilliant Professional Arranger that distills the sonic essence and functionality of the Pa series into a compact and affordable new instrument. Like its big brothers – the Pa800 and the Pa3X – the Pa600SG uses our RX (Real eXperience) and DNC (Defined Nuance Control) technology to deliver sound quality that’s unprecedented in an arranger keyboard. With its new compact cabinet, large TFT color TouchView display, enormous factory and user PCM memory, huge style database and excellent amplification system, Korg has raised the standard of excellence in the entry-level price range. Listen and Believe.
