Qi « SOS / SR1, room for spontaneity »
Published on 09/06/11 at 08:48I had a Boss BR600, but I used very few sold so quickly: I have not hung with the philosophy Roland and all the submenus that scatter spontaneity. I almost have a zoom or a Yamaha R24 AW16xx but finally I chose the Korg D3200 fuller (spdif, punch in, MIDI sync with my Motif, external display, ...) Very good machine (j ' I posted a notice), but not very portable so I was looking for a pocket recorder and more. And I came across a KORG SR1 / SOS offers and then the slap frankly, this stuff is brilliant: it holds in the hand, is fast everything was under the fingers, unlimited tracks!, Very creative effects with touch control in real time directly on the touch screen, there's way to much fun (one is tempted to show off but it is sometimes better to capture the effects and dry later in the mix), box basic but powerful rhythm, coupled with the recording functions (you can overlay drums, to apply individual effects, placing breaks on the fly).
Save an idea for a song takes a few minutes (guitars, bass, drums, vocals, choirs, etc.) is amazing. We do not think about the number of tracks available. 100 can be taken in stereo, it will return! THE SR1 is also a great looper for me who just wanted one: we almost feel Jamer with yourself so it goes fast. Perfect to compose a song by ear. It sets the point A and B, the input level (which will also be listening level of the track, not adjustable internally) and press REC.
At the end we all exports (of Reaper, for example) and the tracks will snap automatically to their original position on the timeline. But to mix the levels, adjust panning and effects and a song was canned in CD quality. Too bad we can not get into 24bit. But after all it's a notebook, not a professional studio, and the result is very clean.
UNDO mode erases the most recent taken. Erase the tracks of his choice would have been a definite plus. The machine is not perfect. I hope that an update or a new model bearing this defect soon.
In touot case it's a great pocket tool for creative song-writers. Quite simply, I can not do without! It perfectly complements my D3200, which I use as a workstation for audio and MIDI sequencer connected to the Motif. But on the creative, the SR1 has been largely the first place on the podium!
