PA tulee sanoista Professional Arranger, mutta Korgin arranger-kosketinsoittimet tuottavat soittamisen iloa muillekin kuin ammattimuusikoille. Sarjasta löytyy sopiva instrumentti niin ensimmäistä kosketinsoitintaan hankkivalle, kuin markkinoiden parasta suorituskykyä tarvitsevalle soittajalle.

Kaikki rytmit, säestystaustat ja soundit ovat Korgin huipputiimin ohjelmoimia ja musiikkityylit kattavat kaiken tekno-tanssibeateista klassisiin ikivihreisiin.

Korg PA700 jatkaa siitä, mihin PA600 jäi. Konsepti on tuttu: kompakti ja virtaviivainen ulkokuori ja alan muhkein soundi. Kaksi 25W vahvistinta ajaa kaiuttimia ja uudelleen suunniteltu bassorefleksi takaavat ensiluokkaisen äänentoiston. PA700:n etupaneelia on virtaviivaistettu ja kontrollit on sijoitettu intuitiivisesti livetilanteita silmällä pitäen. Uudella kapasitiivisella TouchView näytöllä uusi graafinen käyttöjärjestelmä pääsee oikeuksiinsa entistä helppolukuisempana ja -käyttöisempänä vaativissakin olosuhteissa. Niin ikään uusittu etsimistoiminto helpottaa tyylien, settien ja songbookkien löytämistä ja niitä voi nyt soittaa suoraan USB:lta ilman laitteen muistiin lataamista.

Korgin EDS-X synteesiengine on PA700:n ytimessä 1700 presetin voimin. Soundeja löytyy klassisista moderneihin kosketinsoittimiin, bändi- ja orkesterisoittimiin sekä elektronisiin ja akustisiin instrumentteihin teknosta folkkiin. Mukana on kaksi monikerroksista stereoflyygeliä (mallinnetulla vaimenninpedaalisoundilla ja runkoresonansseilla) sekä kiitetyillä sähköpianosoundeilla Korg SV-1 Stage Pianosta. Urkumallinnuksessa on koskettimen paino- ja irroitussoundi, vuoto- ja rotarykaiutinmallinnus. Lisäksi PA700ssa on uusia puhallininstrumentteja, jousia ja bassoja – jopa akustisia ja sähkökitaroita.

Rumpukittejä on tarjolla 106, tyylejä 370.
