The Korg PANDORA series is famous for packing dozens of realistic modeling effects and a multitude of live, practice and recording functions into a pocket-sized unit. Now we’re proud to introduce the new PANDORA PX5D, the latest and greatest in the Pandora evolution. In addition to a ton of other new features, the PX5D for guitar and bass is the first PANDORA to provide a USB audio interface so you can plug directly into your computer.
The magic of models
The PX5D provides a total of 180 realistic and wide-ranging effects created using Korg’s world-acclaimed, proprietary “REMS” modeling technology. Included are simulations that recreate classic vintage and modern, high-gain amps, as well as effects ranging from the familiar to the unique.
Cabinets too
Realistically reproduced models of many different cabinets and speakers are also provided, offering differences in speaker size and cabinet structure for superb presence and depth. You can even combine cabinets and speakers freely with any amp models, letting you experience combinations not possible on the original units themselves.
The Bass-ics
Numerous effects designed specifically for bass are also included, making the PX5D a great choice not only for the guitarist but for the bassist as well.
Synth effects
There are also synth effects that let you create unique and fresh new sounds, with three choices each for guitar and bass.
Special effects
The PX5D goes beyond the expected with pickup modeling, an intelligent pitch shifter, a talk effect, a slow attack effect to simulate a violin or cello, a feedback effect, a velocity controlled rotary speaker effect that speeds up the harder you play, a fretless bass effect and many others.
The perfect program
The PX5D’s effects are organized in 200 multi-effect programs with 100 user and 100 preset locations. Favorite programs can be assigned to four program memory buttons for one-touch access, letting you smoothly change programs in an instant.
USB Connection
A USB-MIDI/USB audio interface is included, so you can use the PX5D with your computer to transfer audio data or record into your DAW software.
Ready to record
The PX5D comes with “Ableton Live Lite 6 Korg Edition” recording software, so you can start recording as soon as you open the box. There’s also dedicated editor/librarian software that lets you edit and manage programs from your computer.
Phrase Trainer
The PXD5 allows you to record up to eighty seconds of sound from an external audio source such as a CD, MD, or MP3, and then play it back as a loop at a different speed, without affecting the pitch.
Rhythm and bass
You can also record your own accompaniment, along with the built-in rhythm and bass patterns, then play it back while you practice playing a lead.
Features plus
A Key Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the incoming audio source by as much as one octave upward or downward, and a Bass Canceller function cancels the bass sound so that you can enjoy “minus-one” playing.
Hands-free control
A foot switch jack lets you control the PX5D’s rich array of functionality without interrupting your performance. Connect the included foot switch jack cable to the PX5D, and you’ll be able to connect two foot switches (not included) and use them to change programs or start/stop Phrase Trainer recording or playback.
Extras
The PX5D features built-in tuner which includes a mute function, so you can tune silently on stage. Power can be supplied by an AC adaptor, by batteries, or via the USB connection.
