    UTILIZATION

    Well, as already said, t, it is a black point on this synth is that it is fairly intuitive to navigate, finally, to make a sound, c the cata!

    The manual is good be done well in his explanations, it must be trained to make a patch!
    The effects are average ... was added externally!

    SOUNDS

    The sound is exellent ca! it's heavy, fat bass for, we want more, that is original!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 2 years, has bought 550 of remembrance, part with it? Never, I would put out its big brother the Z1 a cot to complete the family Korg (Triton and one day ^ ^)

    Polyphony is a shame, but the navigation is even more!

    In they CATEGORY: The Orb, Jan Hammer, Download, Meat Beat Manifesto, Mirwais, Front Line Assembly, Kobe, Depeche Mode, Orbital, Theatre, Uberzone, BT, Union Jack, The Prodigy, The Crystal Method , Eat Static, Apollo 440, Radio Head, Luke Vibert, Stabbing Westward, 808 State, the Pet Shop Boys, and I !!!!!!!!!!!!

    A synth that should only be used in complment other machines (not solo) of HS.
    Two wheels + a ribbon and five knobs, all assignable will to play live.

    A synth that demand be programmed at the level of sounds (not the kind of synth that is out of the box when using it).
    A new synthesis, as it leaves the cot "MODEL type" aircraft of the era, namely the "workstations", and their resemblance of sounds that mark the other!

    Finally a synthesis with which we can do something else!

    Finally a synthesis with which we can do something else!

    UTILIZATION

    It is true that programming is not always simple trs (especially assignments knobs, ribbon, and knobs), but the level sounds, the ACCS DIFFERENT sound modules are acc ssible directly through a row of buttons right of the screen (OSC, W. SHAPER, MIXER, FILTER, EFFECT, EG, LFO, etc. ...).

    I use it mainly for bass that evolves (filter), sounds bizarre and other sounds effects (noise).

    SOUNDS

    I only use trs little sounds of origin even when I have a few transform my convenience.
    The bass is fantastic and "slap" beautifully.
    Wind instruments (synthse physical) are a exprssivit thunder (but not simple to program!).
    Some sound, style squence, remind me of wavesquences WAS. (May be a snap)
    Thanks to the wheels and the tape, sounds can be expressed in Manir diffrent, every time.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since 1996 and I do not regret having bought.

    By buying this synth you choose to dive into programming sounds, and thus to forget the simple cot, which is made use sounds dj.

    Amateur programming? This synth is for you!

    I do not believe me spare, although it has its place in my HS Dfine, and the work I asked him to, he does it well trs.

    It reintroduced ribbon controls on synths. Has whut Korg called the LOG, basicly a pitch control wheel (centered)with the said ribbon control on it. It also has 2 more wheels and 4 knobs... 1995 or 1996 knobs was a reinvention to synths.... Like I said Sounds excelent. Editing is not for the fain't at heart... Use software point blank... like most synths of this age it's better to use midi to edit the equipment.

    Price paid: $600 USD

    UTILIZATION

    Excelent for a performance based unit. It was designed as a lead synth... think of the synth parts from "the Killers" you have the idea. It's a secret weapon of mass cone distruction. It gets down lower than Lil John or the skirts…

    UTILIZATION

    Excelent for a performance based unit. It was designed as a lead synth... think of the synth parts from "the Killers" you have the idea. It's a secret weapon of mass cone distruction. It gets down lower than Lil John or the skirts in the video's. Great as a lead instrument, Pad, Bass synth. It is probably the most fun unit I have to play with and it has built in efects that sound good. I gave it a 7 because it's not that easy to edit in compared to some of the other gear I own. but again rember this was made in like 1996

    SOUNDS

    It's the origianl Korg moss bassed synth... It's monophonic... It's probably one of the best voices you will hear..... It's not the only thing in your studio.... unless your talented and have alot of time and software.... Idea Time!) It's the older brother to the Korg Z1, Trinity/triton Moss card, MS2000's, Minikorg. 128 patches based in 2 banks of 64... add a 512kb memory card and you have a "C" bank with 64 or 128 more patches.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Excelent contruction except top is plastic. Silver unit and 37 keys. No repair job's and likes to spit midi data out.

    It's still here in the studio... If it came up missing I would buy another one. Like most of my equipment it has a role to play in my music. It's light in the patch storage area. But it's 10 or so years old now. It still amazes me that it sounds so fresh and so lifelike as a woodwind, Brass, String, or Vintage analog. They are going for $200-350 on ebay... try one!
