Power-packed multi-tool for bass Small size-huge effects Korg`s proprietary "REMS" modeling technology is used to simulate famous bass amps, giving you powerful studio-quality sound when using headphones. This makes the PX3B ideal when you are unable to play at high volumes, such as in your home or apartment. The PX3B also gives you realistic bass amp sounds when you are not using an amp, such as for direct-line recording. In addition, thirty-nine effects specially crafted for bass are built-in, including a compressor, overdrive, and octave. Fifty preset programs cover the tonal needs of every musical genre, with programs ranging from finger, slap, and pick playing styles to unique synth bass programs. A maximum of seven effects can be used simultaneously, and you can create fifty user programs of your own. Tweak your sound with a four-band graphic EQ The PX3B`s new four-band graphic EQ allows each band to be edited individually. The graphic display is easy to understand, and the value dial makes editing easy, so that you can quickly create the bass sounds you need. Record it in and check it out The PX3B`s Phrase Trainer lets your record up to sixteen seconds of your own playing or from an outside source, like a CD player. The recorded phrase can be slowed down as much as 75% without changing the pitch, and can be played back as a loop for repeated listening. This makes it easy to practice and learn tough phrases. Way more than a metronome To make playing more fun, the PX3B comes with fifty types of rhythm patterns covering rock, jazz, funk, blues, and more, so you can practice along with a full rhythm kit instead of a click track. Realistic PCM samples are used for the internal drum sounds, and tempo and volume settings are adjustable. A standard metronome is also available. You`re the bass player on any CD A newly developed bass canceller lets you erase the bass sound from a song that is input from the AUX IN jack, allowing you to add your own bass playing to the performance. A key transpose function also lets you raise or lower the pitch by as much as one octave. For example you can raise the pitch of a CD by one octave to make the bass notes easier to hear, or restore a song in lowered tuning back to regular pitch so that you can play along. Now you see it The PX3B`s backlit LCD guarantees excellent visibility even on dimly lighted stages. For easy recognition, functions are represented as icons, and the value dial makes it quick and easy to select programs or to set the value of parameters. An auto chromatic tuner is also built-in, with a mute function that lets you tune without outputting sound - ideal for on-stage use. Specifications subject to change without notice
