Nothing will stand between you and your professional performance.Real eXperience (RX) Technology It all begins with sound. The Pa588 allows unparalleled expression and articulation. For example a single guitar sound may play a harmonic a mute note a soft note a loud note a pull-off — all determined by simply how hard you strike the key.
