Design
The keyboard has a sleek brushed aluminum finish and wooden side panels that give it a premium feel, reminiscent of analog synthesizers. The semi-weighted keys are naturally responsive and provide velocity and aftertouch sensitivity for a natural playing experience. The display is large and touch-capable, making it easy to navigate songs, lyrics, chord charts, or sheet music.
Sound Generation
The Pa5X features the new EDS-XP (Enhanced Definition Synthesis – Expanded) sound engine, which delivers exceptional sound quality and definition with 24 stereo oscillators and 160 note polyphony. The built-in sound library includes over 2,200 factory sounds from a range of genres, including pianos, electric pianos, orchestral sounds, synthesizer sounds, and a drawbar organ section. The keyboard also features a sampler that is compatible with Wav, AIFF, and SF2 formats.
Styles and Backing
With over 600 backing styles, the Pa5X covers a wide range of musical genres and offers the ability to perform and compose entire tunes. The styles feature three introductions, four variations, four fills, a break, and three endings. The keyboard also features round-robin technology for new drum and percussion sounds, which provides a human element to the beat.
Performance Features
The Pa5X has an array of controls, including a fader bank, joystick, ribbon controller, buttons, and a pad matrix, providing a dizzying amount of control over the sound. The keyboard also features a dual player that allows you to play two styles, MIDI files, or MP3 files simultaneously and blend them using the crossfader.
