Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor
The first computer-ready Pandora for guitar and bass
The Korg Pandora series is famous for packing dozens of realistic modeling effects and a multitude of live, practice and recording functions into a pocket-sized unit. The Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor is the latest and greatest in the Pandora evolution. In addition to a ton of other new features, the PX5D for guitar and bass is the first Pandora to provide a USB audio interface so you can plug directly into your computer.
Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor Features:
-Footswitch jack lets you use any common footswitch to select programs—a first for Pandora.
-Over 20 new effects brings the grand total to 180.
-With USB audio, your Pandora doubles as a direct recording interface.
-744 Rhythm and Bass patterns to jam along to. That’s over seven times more than the PX4D. Plus you can chain up to 20 different
patterns together.
-80 second phrase trainer samples and slows down your favorite tune without altering the pitch. And if you want to change the key,
you're overed with a transpose feature.
The Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor provides a total of 180 realistic and wide-ranging effects created using Korg’s world-acclaimed, proprietary “REMS” modeling technology. Included are simulations that recreate classic vintage and modern, high-gain amps, as well as effects ranging from the familiar to the unique.
Realistically reproduced models of many different cabinets and speakers are also provided, offering differences in speaker size and cabinet structure for superb presence and depth. You can even combine cabinets and speakers freely with any amp models, letting you experience combinations not possible on the original units themselves.
Numerous effects designed specifically for bass are also included, making the PX5D a great choice not only for the guitarist but for the bassist as well. There are also synth effects that let you create unique and fresh new sounds, with three choices each for guitar and bass. The Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor goes beyond the expected with pickup modeling, an intelligent pitch shifter, a talk effect, a slow attack effect to simulate a violin or cello, a feedback effect, a velocity controlled rotary speaker effect that speeds up the harder you play, a fretless bass effect and many others. The PX5D's effects are organized in 200 multi-effect programs with 100 user and 100 preset locations. Favorite programs can be assigned to four program memory buttons for one-touch access, letting you smoothly change programs in an instant.
A USB-MIDI/USB audio interface is included, so you can use the PX5D with your computer to transfer audio data or record into your DAW software. The Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor comes with “Ableton Live Lite 6 Korg Edition” recording software, so you can start recording as soon as you open the box. There’s also dedicated editor/librarian software that lets you edit and manage programs from your computer.
The Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor allows you to record up to eighty seconds of sound from an external audio source such as a CD, MD, or MP3, and then play it back as a loop at a different speed, without affecting the pitch. You can also record your own accompaniment, along with the built-in rhythm and bass patterns, then play it back while you practice playing a lead. A Key Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the incoming audio source by as much as one octave upward or downward, and a Bass Canceller function cancels the bass sound so that you can enjoy “minus-one” playing.
A foot switch jack lets you control the Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effects Processor’s rich array of functionality without interrupting your performance. Connect the included foot switch jack cable to the PX5D, and you’ll be able to connect two foot switches (not included) and use them to change programs or start/stop Phrase Trainer recording or playback.
The Korg PX5D Pandora USB Multi Effect Processor features built-in tuner which includes a mute function, so you can tune silently on stage. Power can be supplied by an AC adaptor, by batteries, or via the USB connection.

September, 2005. This format is already supported by software such as "SonicStage Mastering StudioVer.2.0" and "DSD Direct," and it is
expected that increasing numbers of software titles will support it in the future, including shareware and freeware.
-WSD (Wideband Single-bit Data)
This is a 1-bit audio file format created by the "One-bit Audio Consortium." It accommodates all formats of one-bit audio data without
limitation of channel number or sample rate. The "One-bit Audio Consortium" was established in 2001 with the goal of contributing to the
advance of audio through research, development, and popularization of 1-bit audio technology, and its work is currently supported by
more than sixty members.
**The maximum continuous recording time is approximately six hours when using an AC adapter.
