Pa3X Highlights
Pa3X
Korg now present the Korg Pa3X, latest in a long line of arranger keyboards that have included PA80, PA800, PA1x' PA2x, and many more
Two to choose from
The Pa3X comes in two keyboard lengths. The real advantage of the 61 note version is it's size and portability, where the PA3x76 offers the longer keyboard alongside a tilting motorised screen
First appearances!
At Keysound we are delighted to see the volume and balance sliders on both models, for easy balancing of sound and mixing.
PaAS quick-connect monitor
The optional PaAS speaker bar uses Korg’s “Easy Connect” system: no additional support, no cables, no power supply needed to deliver a stunning sound with amazing bass.
Sound quality at its best!
With over 1,100 sounds and Keysound's expert editing our PA3x is perfect for all genres of music
More than 100 drumkits, including new Real Ambience Drumkits with easy edits
The vast 256 MB memory (PCM User memory) can be expanded to a massive 512 MB
The internal Sampler is now equipped with a new Sound Compression tool (no loss, 1:2 ratio). The Pa3X can also Load/Import Korg, WAV, AIFF, and Akai samples and export in WAV or AIFF. Sounds can be fully edited, and can now use up to 24 oscillators for each note!
The General MIDI (GM) sound bank has been improved for even better sound compatibility.
Korg’s Finest Effects
The Pa3X includes the best of the Korg effects library. Up to 8 Stereo Digital Multi Effect processors can be used at once. Over 140 effect types are available, running from the standard reverbs and delays through to the more unusual effects such as vocoding, as well as the new vintage effects from the acclaimed SV-1 Stage Vintage Piano
Waves Audio suite
The Pa3X includes effects from an industry leader: Waves Audio and includes the powerful MaxxAudio™ suite, which has been described as "the next generation of audio processing tools". These onboard effects, which include MaxxBass™, MaxxVolume™, MaxxEQ™, MaxxTreble™ and MaxxStereo™, provide unparalleled performance.
TC-Helicon® Voice Processor
Korg’s long term cooperation with the world leader in vocal harmonies, TC-Helicon®, continues in the Pa3X with the new Voice Processor, recognized as the state of the art in vocal and harmony processing. With new features and new algorithms, including even better pitch correction, the TC-Helicon® Voice Processor ensures your vocals have the highest possible sound quality. Up to 4 realistic voices plus 2 doubled harmonies are available and can be controlled by the keyboard, MIDI and even MP3 input. Thanks to the new Audio Chord Detection function, chords can be automatically extracted from an audio file and sent to the Vocal Processor! Other 5 effect blocks are available, including Reverb, Delay , µMod and special FX such as Megaphone and Hardtune.
Do it with Style!
The Pa3X delivers over 400 Styles, straight out of the box and Keysound add an extra 350 to almost double the style memory. Korg's international sound team have created many new Styles; and many of our revered and well-known Styles have been improved with new sounds and new effects. The Pa3X holds 1,200 locations for you to save your new Styles and your own settings.
Several new sophisticated parameters which ensure professional and realistic guitar tracks have been added with Guitar Mode 2, making the guitar tracks of every Style rich and authentic.
Two different MP3 or MIDI files can be played simultaneously and both MIDI and MP3 files can be transposed, accelerated or slowed down. New technology drives the all new Advanced Vocal Remover, allowing vocals to be removed from MP3 files with unparalleled accuracy. More advanced than a simple center-channel cancellation tool, the Advanced Vocal Remover keeps the original stereo image of the song while removing just the main vocals.
The enhanced 16 track sequencer allows the most sophisticated levels of sequencing, but also provides quick and easy song creation using the Backing Sequence function. And because the Pa3X is very clever, it can record your entire performance! You can run a song, play the keyboard, sing along and everything will be recorded in MP3 format and stored on an external USB device or in the internal Hard Disk (76 version only; optional for the 61 key version).
The SongBook
Particularly useful for live use, the SongBook is a fully programmable and easily searchable Music Database. Another freebie from Keysound offers 100's of new songbook titles with true song titles (Only available to Keysound customers).

Keysound reviews
Roland FP30XP-B Piano
The service couldn’t have been better. I told Steve my budget, he gave me his opinion, I tried several pianos within my budget and way above it and was able to make my decision easily. There was only useful help and advice at hand - no pushiness! Thank you.
Korg PA5X61 Keyboard
Excellent service from Steve who showed me what the keyboard would do. The shop is much easier to get to and has a large carpark.
Yamaha Refurbished P525B Piano
Couldn't have been more helpful particularly as I was buying this piano without trying it or seeing it. I was able to part exchange my old keyboard and this too was hassle free - it was collected at the same time as the new piano was delivered. Great service from a great company with very helpful staff.
Yamaha Pre-Owned DGX670-B Piano
The guys at Keysound really have great knowledge. It's obvious they enjoy their work which means I enjoyed being in the store.
Enthusiastic people really do up the level of service.
Roland HP704-DR Piano
The service at Keysound is second to none, and the expertise of Steve, the manager, is outstanding! Although I am a retired piano teacher, I learnt so much about digital pianos in the couple of hours I spent at Keysound. The technology has advanced so far since I bought my last Roland, 20 years ago, that I would have been lost without Steve’s guidance. Every aspect of my purchase at Keysound, including delivery and installation, was made so easy by Steve and his staff. I cannot fault this wonderful company!
Yamaha Pre-Owned PSRSX700 Keyboard
Great communication. Service was brilliant. Very pleased with the keyboard
Yamaha P225-B Piano
Very friendly, experienced staff. Excellent opportunity to learn about electric pianos and try them out. After sales personal help offered.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
The service and subsequent advice is second to none
Korg Pre-Owned PA1000 Keyboard
Excellent service.
Roland LX9-PE Piano
Service very good always helpful.
Always feel at ease to visit shop and try new models.
Yamaha PSRE473 Keyboard
The service was excellent - see my previous statement.
The staff are friendly, and listen to you to establish your needs and wants, budget and prefernces.
Yamaha Pre-Owned PSRSX900 Keyboard
Exelent workstation, sounds are exelent, great value for money.
I am still exploring the many features of this keyboard (probably take me a while), only downside for me was the owners manual half english half french but no problem full english owners manual on Yamaha's web site along with many other downloads and video guides on many of the features.
sales person at keysound very helpfull, I would recomend this keboard/workstation for anyone wanting to play/record or sequence their own music, guitar/mic inputs for live sounds makes it easy to create songs with vocal backing for singer all on the keyboard/workstation if you want to without computer sequencers.
Casio Pre-Owned CDP120 Piano
Wonderful service at Keysound, friendly, very helpful, knowledgeable and always a smile to welcome you. Nothing is to much trouble.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
Good deal and great service from Steve and his team at Keysound
Yamaha CLP825-R Piano
Keysound are an amazing, predominantly family business based in Hinckley. they have a wide range of upright and digital pianos and keyboards from many different brands
The staff are so friendly and helpful yet there is no pressure when you visit and I had plenty of time to look around and ask questions. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable and talked me through all the various features of the digital piano I wanted to buy. Delivery was prompt and the delivery men were pleasant, helpful and left no mess. I wasn't charged any extra for setting up the piano ( another store had quoted e £250 for this!)
The after service is fabulous too. I went back into store once the piano had been delivered and Ria went through any questions and showed me how to use the smart pianist app, also loading more songs onto this to help me with practicing
I was encouraged to contact them if I have any more issues or need to discuss anything
I would highly recommend Keysound if you're looking to buy any piano or keyboard, for the wide range of choice, the expertise of the staff and the lovely welcoming environment
Yamaha Genos 2 Keyboard
Friendly and helpful. Generous with their advice and technical help. This is the third keyboard we have bought from them, part exchange arrangements have been for us fair..
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
First class from first contact
Further help given on setting up and care of instrument
Would buy from them again
Roland FP30X-B Piano
Understood me and my requirements. They took time to allow me to play as many pianos as I needed before making my choice. Informative, friendly service to give me confidence to make the right choice for me. Delivery was outstanding
Kawai CN301-B Piano
Our musician visited the shop in Hinkley and was impressed with the service, that is why we chose to purchase from Key Sound even though we could have bought it cheaper elsewhere.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
The service from Keysound was nothing short of perfect from start to finish. Purchasing was made easy with an excellent price for my PSR SX900. Delivery was very quick and the collection of my keyboard to be sent to Keysound was also very quick and efficient.
Excellent all round service from start to finish.
