Korg Debuts The Liverpool Professional Arranger

An Arranger Keyboard With 100 Classic Songs and 64 Styles from Lennon & McCartney Built In

Melville, NY - - September 3, 2015 - -An unparalleled musical force; a songwriting duet unlike any other, Lennon and McCartney changed the face of music in the 1960’s and well beyond. Korg now pays tribute to the legendary duo with the release of the Liverpool Professional Arranger, a union-jack embossed, light-weight, portable arranger keyboard with 100 of the artists’ timeless songs and 64 styles built into its memory.

With built in stereo speakers, users can play back, and play along with, familiar songs, while the styles function allows the user to freely change the song structure and chords while performing. Arranged in alphabetical order just like the built in songs, each Liverpool Style has up to four functions and also allows for an intro, fill and ending.

The Liverpool allows users to add their own chords and melodies to use the accompaniments as inspirations to create original musical works. With standard keyboard sounds such as piano, electric piano, and organ, as well as guitar, bass, strings, brass, and drum sounds that can also be used with the styles, this instrument covers a wide range of sounds needed for performance. In addition to the 64 Lennon and McCartney Styles, Liverpool also includes styles inherited from the microARRANGER, KORG’s compact and powerful arranger keyboard.

“As the driving creative force behind the world’s most recognizable and commercially successful band, the music on Lennon and McCartney still resonates with all of us today, and will continue to inspire musicians and music lovers for decades to come,” stated James Sajava, Korg’s Brand Manager. “From Day Tripper to Let It Be all you need to do is play chords with your left hand, and the Liverpool automatically provides an accompaniment that matches the feel of the original song. Use your right hand to play the melody, and those classic songs are reborn!”

The high quality sounds of the Liverpool are great for the solo entertainer and also make it a great choice as a keyboard for a band. Four stereo effects are also built-in, letting users add finishing touches to their overall sound from performance to output. An SD card slot is provided for expansion and bonus styles and programs are provided on the webpage All about Arrangers and can be loaded from any PC via an SD card into the Liverpool’s user bank for use.

The Liverpool will be available November 2015 for a street price of $599.99.
