The Pa300 from Korg is a compact but fully featured musical arranger with an up-to-date collection of sounds and styles. Using the built-in styles allows the user to quickly and easily play along with a backing band or even create custom music. The enhanced RX (Real eXperience) sound engine offers improved realism and vivid sound.

A five-inch TouchView color TFT display provides an intuitive graphical interface with a search function for easy retrieval of any musical resource or file. Over three-hundred factory styles each include intro, fill and ending variations and can be edited and stored in user memory locations. An enhanced Guitar Mode 2 provides realistic guitar parts, and an improved GM set for playing Standard MIDI Files.

Other features include an MP3 player with transpose and tempo change that is also compatible with popular lyric formats including graphical (+G), Text Viewer and Score. Four stereo master effects feature well over one-hundred effects algorithms. A fully programmable SongBook database is based on styles, SMF, Karaoke and MP3 files with instant recall of any song setting.
