microARRANGER
Turn one simple idea into a complete song with the new Korg microARRANGER, a compact backing keyboard designed to help composers create full arrangements on the fly.

Joining Korg's line of "micro" keyboard instruments, the microARRANGER -- based on Korg's Pa50SD Professional Arranger -- can create a full backing arrangement in real-time, based on the composer's selected musical Style, tempo, chord changes, and voice leading. More than 300 Styles are included, providing a complete composing environment that includes intros, breaks, fills, endings, and four variations for a realistic performance. Each Style also includes four preset instrument selections.

Compositions can be recorded in a variety of ways, Korg says. The internal recorder features step, real-time and workstation modes, allowing both the accomplished player and the non-keyboardist alike to create and save his or her own song with a rich backing arrangement. With the microARRANGER, you can create anything from a simple drum and bass groove to a jazz quartet or a full R&B rhythm section. Full editing tools are included to polish any performance, and songs can be saved on a convenient SD / SDHC card.

The microARRANGER features over 650 professionally-created sounds, 4 studio-quality stereo effects processors, and 89 Effect Programs.

Micro in name and in size, the microARRANGER is compact, lightweight, and portable. The Natural Touch keyboard features 61 velocity-sensitive mini-keys proportioned for comfortable playing. A stereo speaker system is built right in for sharing the microARRANGER's sound, or headphones can be used for private practice.

I'm wonding if it can export midi tracks, or have actual midi out?

"MAP price will be $599.00 and it will be shipping in December 2011."
