Korg's popular Pa80 is the most successful Professional Arranger keyboard ever produced. Used by tens of thousands of musical professionals in every country of the world, the Pa80 is the industry standard. So, developing the next generation of Arranger from Korg – the Pa800 - required that they understand the needs of the modern musical professional while respecting the technology chosen by so many musicians worldwide. After countless interviews from musicians in dozens of countries, we knew what we needed to do to develop the complete professional Arranger keyboard – the new Pa800!
