PA600

The Pa600 is an entry-level member of the Pa arranger series. It uses the RX (Real eXperience) and DNC (Defined Nuance Control) sound engine, with a large factory PCM memory and room for up to 96 MB of user PCM data. Two assignable switches and a four-way joystick give control over sound articulation.

Playing and arranging tools include more than 360 factory styles, each with three intros/endings, four variations and four fill-in + break patterns. Ten Favorite banks and three User banks store customized styles. A chord sequencer records chord progressions on the fly, and an improved Guitar Mode 2 adds more realistic guitar parts with synchronized pads. Four stereo master effects offer 125 FX algorithms.

The 800x480 backlit TFT TouchView display has a search function and copy/paste, rename and delete for resources. The built-in player handles Standard MIDI Files with several lyric formats, text viewer, markers and score, plus MP3 playback with transpose and tempo change. A SongBook database recalls song settings from styles, SMF, karaoke and MP3 files. It comes in International and Quarter Tone button versions, and regional sound and style data is sold separately.
