High-quality "REMS" Based EFFECTS KORG's "REMS" Modeling Technology has been widely acclaimed for its natural, authentic sound quality. A total of 180 effect types are available in the Pandora PX5, divided into seven categories that match the seven effect modules that are simultaneously available.

• Dynamics
  This section includes everything from simple compression to advanced algorithms that can emulate a humbucking sound from a single coil pickup (or vice-versa); transform an electric guitar into an acoustic timbre, add a fretless character to any bass sound; plus a series of wahs and auto-wahs.
  
• AMP Modeling
  In addition to some of the most popular and widely recorded amps, the PX5D multi-effects processor includes a number of rare and boutique amplifier models - everything from the ubiquitous VOX AC30 to a US Hi-Gain (think snakeskin) amp. A total of 15 guitar amps and 11 bass amps are all delivered with spot-on accuracy. Bass synth and Guitar Synth models are also featured in the PX5D.
  
• Cabinet Simulations
  Matching the right amp to the right cabinet is a necessity for capturing a classic tone. But go ahead and mix and match to build your own custom "virtual" rig. From a single 8" tweed to a 4 x 15" mammoth, the PX5d has it all.
  
• Modulation Effects
  You name it, Pandora has it - phasers, flangers, choruses, filter sweeps, U-Vibes, tremolos, intelligent pitch shifting, rotary speaker, auto-panning. Best of all, each effect can be tweaked to your own personal preference.
  
• Delay Settings
  Five Delay effects - each with five variations relating to feedback amount - are available in this Pandora PX5D multi-effects processor. Delay time is conveniently set using the Tap key on the front panel and a versatile Reverse Delay is onboard.
  
• Reverbs
  Eleven Reverb algorithms place the final ambience and sheen on your sound.
  
• Noise Reduction
  Keep your sound clean - and silent in between songs.

100 Presets, 100 user programs
Seventy Guitar Presets and Thirty Bass Presets are ready and waiting to get you started with your new Korg PX5D.

Using the Software Editor Librarian provides faster, graphic editing and allows you to build up libraries of custom patches. A simple USB cable provides the connection to your computer.

Clean panel design for intuitive control
With almost gamer styling, the PX5D is an easy-to-operate multi-effects processor. A four-way cursor to the left and a recessed dial to the right combine for easy navigation of the backlit LCD screen. For the amplifier traditionalist, dedicated thumb wheels across the top offer real-time control of Gain, Bass, Treble and Volume. Four Program Memory buttons keep your favorite programs close at hand! An adapter cable is included, allowing two optional footswitches to be connected to the PX5D for hands -free operation.

Drummer and bassist included
128 accurate and professional Rhythm & Bass groove patterns are built in to your Korg PX5D - including simple "click-track" style metronome beats. The Rhythm patterns have three variations, so you can find the one you like. Use the Tap key to set the tempo to anything from 40 to 240 Beats per Minute (BPM). Both Major and Minor bass lines are included with each groove, and you can set the Bass Key to any note. Up to sixteen patterns can be strung together into one of twenty chains - an excellent feature for writing a new tune, practicing a part or crafting that killer solo - in context!

The world outside
Connect an MP3 player, CD, USB or other external audio source to the AUX IN jack and you can play along. Wrong key? Use the Key Transpose function to change the pitch of the song into any musical key. For the bassist, the PX5D multi-effects processor also contains a Bass Cancelling function that removes the bass sound from an external audio source so that you can play and hear your bass along with the song.

Repeat as necessary
Phrase Training is a fun feature for learning difficult material or for working on solos. You can record up to 80 seconds of audio from any external source and play it back repeatedly (looped) at a slower speed - without changing the pitch. This is a great way to learn complex or rapid passages by ear, since you will be able to hear the phrase slowly. You can also record yourself chording along with the built-in rhythm and bass accompaniment, and then practice your soloing skills.

Digital USB doorway
In its off hours, the Pandora PX5D moonlights as USB audio interface for all your computer needs, offering two-channel audio communication to and from your Mac or PC.

Tambahan lainnya, bersama dengan permainan APX yang luar biasa, mampu untuk dimainkan secara utama dengan lancar. APX900 & APX700 menggunakan Sistem pickup Yamaha, A.R.T. (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) , yang menggunakan dua tambahan sub pickup untuk mengontrol overtune dan resonansi.

  Fitur

A.R.T. Pickup System

Contact Pickup

A.R.T.(Acoustic Resonance Transducer) technology

- Newly developed contact pickup
Unique multilayer structure achieves optimum dynamic balance.

Yamaha acoustic-electric guitars have consistently used piezoelectric pickups to repdoduce the pure sounds of the acoustic guitar. But piezoelectric pickups tended to overreact to changes in attack, which in turn caused distortion. To achive ideal playability, we had to improve the way that these dynamics were controlled. To provide a solution to this issue, the new pickup was designed with a multilayer structure consisting of six layers of different materials. This dampens excessive vibration from the topboard while picking up small resonances to achieve ideal sensitivity and outstanding dynamic balance. Also, because the pickup is fi tted directly beneath the topboard, it functions as a transducer attached to the body.

- 3-way configuration

In addition to two main pickups mounted under the saddle, this system has one each on the bass and treble sides to capture the vibrations of the entire length of the strings and body, as well as the sound's bass and treble components. The pickups are laid out in such a way as to achieve clear reproduction even during high-position soloing.

Pickup Systems (1-way systems) for APX500

Controls for the under bridge mounted piezo pickup are mounted on the instrument's side for optimum access. The battery compartment is also located on the side, close to the neck, to provide easy replacement.

A.R.T. Preamp Systems (System57) for APX900

3-way configuration

The main pickups are controlled via the master volume, while the bass and treble pickups are controlled independently. The system is also equipped with a 3-band equalizer for versatile sound production that fully satisfi es the musician's creative demands.
The onboard tuner is easy to view on stage, even under low light conditions

A.R.T. Preamp Systems (System56) for APX700

1-way configuration

This configuration features one main pickup system consisting of two pickups underneath the saddle. The 3-band equalizer gives the ability to control the mid-range for versatile sound creation that meets the musician's needs. The system is also equipped with an onboard tuner for optimum usability.

Preamp Systems (System55T) for APX500

This is a tuner-equipped version of System55. The chromatic tuner is accurate,easy to use and easy to view. You can use the tuning mode by pressing a single button even if you have no cable connected. Turning the tuner on or off will not affect the output in any way. The tuner also comes with a one-minute auto-off timer to save battery power.

Bracing

Scalloped X-type bracing design. Delivers a well-balanced sound when played acoustically. Oval soundhole offers thicker middle highs that are unique to the APX sound.

Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut

Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut

 

The Les Paul Junior was first introduced in 1954 as a more affordable “student model,” the little sibling to the Les Paul model. Since that time it has become a no-nonsense favorite of countless punk and garage rockers, beloved for its straight-on power and playability. It’s of little surprise that this utilitarian instrument should appeal to the premier punk rocker of his generation, and Billie Joe Armstrong has used a Gibson Les Paul Junior right from the very start of his tenure with Green Day. In honor of Billie Joe’s achievement in taking the punk ethos, attitude and energy right to the top of the mainstream without once compromising his vision, Gibson USA presents the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut, a great partner to the original single-cutaway Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior, and a guitar that is primed to get you straight into no fuss, no frills rock ’n’ roll. Designed in the image of the late ’50s rendition of the breed, the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut is crafted with select tonewoods and an advanced rendition of Gibson’s hallowed P-90 pickup, the noise-cancelling H-90, with a double-cutaway body and subtle custom graphics to help it stand out from the crowd, and includes an extra special new Gibson gigbag with a stylish surprise lurking inside.

The meat and muscle of the Les Paul Junior has always come from its solid slab of prime mahogany, a rich, resonant tonewood with a sweet and balanced harmonic content and excellent sustain, and the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut is no different. Gibson USA crafts the guitar’s mahogany body in the iconic double-cutaway style of the Juniors of the late ’50s and early ’60s, and dresses it in an eye-catching, high-gloss “TV Yellow” finish, in genuine nitrocellulose lacquer. A traditional black plastic pickguard is adorned with a custom hot-stamped silver Billie Joe Armstrong “Adeline skull” logo, a subtle nod that this guitar is something special. The solid-mahogany neck is carved to Billie Joe’s preferred slim early ’60s profile which is fast and extremely comfortable, and topped with a fingerboard of rich brown granadillo, an exotic Central American hardwood with a look, feel and tone similar to rosewood, with extremely good durability. In keeping with the simplicity of the original Juniors, the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut has a simple vintage-style wraparound bridge, a component known for its solidity and sustain-enhancing powers.

With such a great foundation in place, the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut rams it all home through a great new rendition of Gibson’s beloved P-90 single-coil pickup. The H-90 stacked double coil pickup is the result of a close collaboration with Billie Joe. It offers the snarl and punch of a classic, vintage P-90, but with none of the 60-cycle hum that usually plagues traditional single coil pickups. This was accomplished by simply taking two single coils and stacking them on top of each other, resulting in the hum cancellation effect that occurs in a regular humbucker. With a few adjustments, Gibson’s engineers were then able to secure the vintage sonic characteristics of the single coil, retaining traditional Alnico V bar magnets and 42 AWG coil wire, making the H-90 another example of Gibson’s drive to stay one step ahead. As ever, the pickup is routed through a single volume and tone control.

It all comes protected in a stunning new Gibson USA gigbag with a stylish “leopard skin” plush lining and red external “Shockman” graphic, and is covered by Gibson’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, as well as Gibson’s acclaimed 24/7/365 Customer Service. Check out the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior Double Cut today, and prepare to get rockin’.

NOAH BAND

NOAH resmi berdiri melalui konferensi pers yang digelar di Jakarta, tepatnya di Musica Studios pada tanggal 2 Agustus 2012. NOAH terdiri dari lima anggota yaitu Ariel, Uki, Lukman, Reza dan David.  NOAH diartikan sebagai panjang umur, pemberi ketenangan.

Sebelumnya Ariel, Uki, Reza dan Lukman menggunakan nama Peterpan bersama dua anggota terdahulu yaitu Andika dan Indra. Sesuai kesepakatan dengan dua anggota terdahulu, maka Ariel, Uki, Lukman dan Reza tidak lagi menggunakan nama Peterpan setelah album  Sebuah Nama Sebuah Cerita.

Album pertama yang dirilis menggunakan nama NOAH adalah album Seperti Seharusnya yang berisikan 10 lagu dengan single pertama Separuh Aku yang begitu videonya dirilis di Youtube telah berhasil menyedot penonton sebanyak kurang lebih 2 juta viewers dalam waktu 4 minggu.

Logo Noah Band dengan gambar bulu pada bagian tengah huruf A. Bulu ini kini tampak menanjak ke atas. Bulu tersebut bermakna sebagai bagian yang indah pada Noah yang bisa membuat penggemarnya melayang saat mendengar lagu Noah. Bak bulu pada burung yang bisa membuat terbang tinggi. Bulu yang menghadap ke atas bermakna bahwa karir Noah akan selalu lebih baik dari kemarin. Meski banyak rintangan dan halangan dilalui.

NOAH secara resmi mengangkat David sebagai personil tetap NOAH di album ini menambah warna dalam musik NOAH. Launching album Seperti Seharusnya digelar dengan cara yang tidak biasa yaitu dengan menggelar konser di 5 negara dalam waktu 24 Jam. Negara-negara yang dipilih adalah Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore dan Indonesia.

Sebelumnya NOAH pun mengeluarkan sebuah buku Catatan 2010-2012 yang berjudul Kisah Lainnya. Kisah Lainnya mendapatkan sambutan publik yang luar biasa terbukti dengan menjadi best seller di toko buku Gramedia di berbagai kota di Indonesia. Seperti kutipan dalam buku Kisah Lainnya, “Kami akan melanjutkan perjalanan.”. Inilah awal perjalanan Ariel, Uki, Lukman, Reza dan David dengan nama baru yaitu NOAH.
