Korg PA700 61-Key Arranger Workstation

Probably my favorite feature of this board is the ability to load MP3's and Midi files of some of my favorite jams and then plug in my guitar to the board using them as backing tracks. Onboard guitar settings are just NUTZ with the ability to choose pickup types, different amps and any kind of guitar special effect you can think of. You can load karaoke files for playback and it can show the lyrics on the touch screen. Sound Quality from the onboard speakers is amazing. I have had it since early this year and still am discovering new possibilities. This board might be a bit complex for a rookie but KORG has provided a group of 7 useful tutorials on Utube. On last point, You can zero out vocals, so you can sing along with the track as well as muting other voices. ... MoreProbably my favorite feature of this board is the ability to load MP3's and Midi files of some of my favorite jams and then plug in my guitar to the board using them as backing tracks.

The sounds on this arranger are absolutely incredible!It is what I would call, "Instant Inspiration," for serious songwriters and composers! When I'm in my home studio alone, I am constantly saying... Wow, listen to this acoustic guitar sound! Wow, I love this B3 organ sound! I lived in Nashville for a couple of decades. I've seen legendary songwriters pick up an old acoustic guitar at a pawn shop. They would tune the old guitar, and play a little just to see if it, "had any songs left in it."My beloved Korg PA700 is just waiting to give birth to some incredible new songs!

Amazing Arranger!!!

This thing has got it all, unbelievable sound quality, one touch controls on the front panel and touchscreen, great responsive keys, I/O, pedal effects and more! Everything you need to lead a band or be a one man band... easiest 5 star rating ever!

Great keyboard!

Fantastic voicing, spongy key action, dated and a bit unfriendly UI, GREAT songbook feature, nice speaker system, joystick vs mod/pitch wheel is a plus.Adorama is a great company to deal with. I received an old stock unit with no HDMI output, so decided to return, as they did not have the updated version in stock. They made the return effortless and friendly, HIGHLY recommend buying from these folks. WILL do business with them in the future!

It's not what it's supposed to be

So I bought the pa 700 oriental after waited so long to get it. I got it bc of all those middle eastern sounds that supposed to be on it. SPENT 2 WEEKS to find out where they are!! I emailed the Korg corporate and they sent me a stupid pdf which basically just said " this keyboard is designed specifically for middle eastern style"!! I emailed them back and said how the hell would I find those sounds and never heard back! ( off course I said it in a polite way).Anyways, today I took it to the store and asked if sb could find those sounds or I would just return it. The guy played a while and could not find anything and I returned it. I don't know why it is called Oriental. It is the same as pa 700. I would love to hear back if sb buys the pa 700 oriental and actually ... MoreSo I bought the pa 700 oriental after waited so long to get it.

Keyboard stops working after 4 months

After using it for like 4 months, all of a sudden everything on the keyboard froze, i mean everything on the keyboard stops working, all the keys and the touch screen too. After that the instrument won't start at all. It would only show the KORG logo on the display and would be stuck there. I had to take it to a service center and got it fixed. But now, it happened again after 9 months after it was repaired. I really didn't expected this from a Korg product and it wasn't a cheap one. And i think when the same thing happens twice , i guess theres some defect with the instrument i purchased and the response from Korg customer service is worst. They told me to contact the service center. I know they would fix it but now theres no guarantee that the same issue won't ... MoreAfter using it for like 4 months, all of a sudden everything on the keyboard froze, i mean everything on the keyboard stops working, all the keys and the touch screen too.

It's ok till i have the warranty but after that i end up paying alot . I feel like its not worth paying so much for a Korg product. I moved from a Yamaha keyboard to Korg , thinking that it would be better but it wasn't.

Nice Find

I was on may way towards a 4 month on and off vacation and stopped in to Nashville Guitar Center just for kicks. I ran across the Korg PA700, fooled around with it and new I had to have it. While I'm not a pro player by any means, I have several keyboards with some costing as much as $7000. I was impresses with the sounds and for a keyboard with built in speakers, it sounded pretty good for what would be doing with it. I am very pleased with it so far.

Powerful pro arranger

I have/had many arranger workstations. Pa60 Pa600 Pa800 from Korg Pa series and now Pa700. Does everything better than other arrangers. No vocal harmony function but has good mic effects. Compatible with all previous styles.

Review of Korg Pre Owned Pa700 Keyboard

The instrument I was told was used but the condition far exceeded my expectation. I was blown away with the sound quality and level of volume, the keysound bonus software is great. I've been watching you webonars and have learnt so much. Thankyou to Paul Carman and Pete Shaw for the 1 to ones at Pakefield Calvacade 2021. Hopefully see you all again at another r festival.
