2-pole, 4-pole and an awesome 8-pole filter.

◆ Four filter types are available including: lowpass, high-pass, band-pass and notch filters.

Toggle switches allow you to immediately switch to any filter type, with having to scroll through unwanted choices.

◆ Dedicated controls are provided cutoff frequency and resonance allowing real-time sound sculpting – from sub-sonic to extreme weirdness.

◆ An assortment of standard inputs, plus direct turntable inputs, allows the MFC42 to be used in just about any application.

MFC42 MIDI Filter Controller

The MFC is a digitally controlled analog filter module optimized for use with Akai’s MPC-Series of Music Production Systems. It features four selectable filter types, real-time control of filter, LFO, distortion, phasing and envelope parameters. The MFC42 can be rackmounted or mounted directly on an MPC2000/MPC2000XL using the optional KIT-MFC

Mounting bracket kit.

In addition to the powerful filtering capabilities, the MFC42 provides one LFO, one Envelope Generator

Almost all of the controls on generate MIDI controller data, allowing performances to be recorded in the MPC’s sequencer.

◆ You can assign the LFO and EG (envelope generator) to either channel to provide real-time changes. The on-board LFO can sync to external MIDI clock to easily match the tempo of any beat.

◆ The LFO rate can also be controlled using

TAP TEMPO as well as BEAT SYNC which allows the duration of the LFO/Envelope when using the tap tempo feature.

◆ When using the stereo channel, you can shift the LFO phase between the left/right outs.

◆ While each of the channels is independent,

LINK and INVERT functions allow interaction between the channels. By linking the channels together, any changes made on one channel will actually affect both channels. The INVERT function allows the control of one channel to have the opposite effect on the other channel.

◆ A Trigger button allows instant filter triggering -no keyboard required.

◆ Large, dedicated control knobs

Built-in effects

◆ Even greater sound shaping possibilities are provided via the distortion, a stereo analog phaser, and EQ.

TRITON LE 61 • TRITON LE 76 • TRITON LE 88

Music Workstations

The TRITON Le inherits the main functionality of the "classic" TRITON music workstations within a streamlined and cost-effective package.

There are three TRITON Le models available: the 61-key TRITON Le 61 and the 76-key TRITON Le 76 both featuring synth action keyboards; and the 88-key

TRITON Le 88 which employs a piano weighted, graded hammer action. Featuring Korg's HI (Hyper

Integrated) synthesis technology, TRITON Le provides

62-voice polyphony. The 61-key and 76-key TRITON

Le models offer a robust 32MB of PCM ROM that provide numerous classic TRITON Programs and Combinations, along with a host of cutting-edge sounds geared toward electronic music. The TRITON Le 88 adds an additional 16MB piano-based ROM samples. The user-installable EXB-SMPL

Sampling option adds two mic/line audio inputs, SCSI, and supports 16-bit 48kHz linear mono/stereo sampling along with the sophisticated sample waveform editing functions you’d expect to find in a dedicated sampler.

FEATURES

TRITON Sound Data

◆ 512 Programs (448 factory and 64 user) and 24 drum kits are available in internal memory. 128 programs and 9 drum kits are also included for GM compatibility.

◆ Programs and drum kits are derived from

32 MegaBytes of internal PCM ROM using

Korg’s HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system and high-quality 48 kHz sampling.

These samples are divided among 425 multisamples and 413 drum samples and cover a broad range of instruments from piano, guitar, brass, strings and tuned percussion to cutting modern synth sounds. The

Triton Le 88 uses 48 Mbyte of PCM ROM and 429 multisounds.

◆ There are also 384 Combis available each comprised of up to eight Programs that can be layered, velocity layered and split.

Combinations are a great way of creating rich textures and for configuring complex live performance setups.

◆ 62 note polyphony in single oscillator mode and 32 note polyphony in double oscillator mode.

Studio Quality Effects

◆ There are a total of four independent studio quality effects processors available, based on 89 effects types, including one stereo insert effect, two master effects and a master 3-band EQ.

◆ Effects types include: filter and dynamics effects, such as EQ and compressor; Pitch and phase modulation effects, such as chorus, phaser, rotary speaker and pitch shifter; early reflection, delay effects and reverbs; as well as a number of mono and mono-chain effects in which two mono effects are connected in series.

◆ Each effect is fully editable and many of the effect’s parameters can be controlled in realtime.

◆ The BPM/MIDI SYNC function allows you to synchronize the modulation/delay time of effects to the internal or external tempo.

You can specify each delay time as a note value, easily setting up rhythms that will follow any changes that occur in the tempo of the arpeggiator, sequencer or external

MIDI clock.

Full-featured

16-track Sequencer

◆ The 16 track / 16 part multitimbral sequencer features a 200,000 note/event,

200 song capacity and offers the flexibility to record in real or step time.

◆ The Cue List allows you to assemble your song from separate elements (Intro, Verse,

Chorus, Bridge, etc.), and even convert them back into a single song for further recording or editing.

◆ 150 preset drum patterns and 100 user patterns are provided.

◆ Track Looping lets you play back specified measures of a track as a loop.

◆ The Template Song function provides 16 presets and 16 user template memories containing program and effect setups appropriate for various styles of music.

◆ Sequence data can be saved as SMF format

0 or 1, making it simple for you to exchange data with other sequencers.

KARMA

Music Workstation with Variable Performance Modeling

The KARMA is a totally unique Music Workstation that combines the sounds, effects and sequencing capabilities of Korg's award-winning TRITON with a powerful realtime performance modeling technology called KARMA. The result is a workstation that provides an unprecedented amount of user-interaction that will allow you to reach, what was once considered, unobtainable expressive control of your musical ideas. KARMA stands for

Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music Architecture and is the invention of musician/programmer Stephen Kay, who has worked closely with Korg for the past seven years to integrate and further enhance KARMA’s functionality. Based on the notes and chords that are played,

KARMA will automatically generate and manipulate phrases and patterns that are impossible to produce with conventional arpeggiators or static pattern playback functions. KARMA can produce anything from unhuman electronic rhythms and melodic textures to acoustic emulations of harp glissandos and finger-picking and provides control over almost 400 musical elements that allow you to interact with the phrases intuitively, and to change them in ways that can range from subtle to extreme.

FEATURES

KARMA Function (Variable

Performance Modeler)

◆ Karma (Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music

Architecture) is a patented algorithmic

MIDI data generating technology that takes input notes, chords and controller movements to generate complex and sophisticated musical phrases and effects.

◆ Phrases and patterns are produced by a GE

(Generated Effect). Each GE consist of nearly 400 parameters, such as note data, rhythm development, chord structure and velocity. Of these, 16 parameters are available for realtime control.

◆ There are over 1000 types of phrase or pattern available covering a wide range of instruments, playing styles and musical genres: Create swirling cascades of complex interweaving notes, tricked-out techno arpeggios, dense rhythmic and melodic textures, natural sounding glissandos for acoustic instrument programs, guitar strumming and finger-picking simulations, to name a few. And because phrases and patterns can evolve in response to realtime controller movements, your performance will never sound “canned” or static.

Realtime Control

◆ 61 note, synth action keyboard, Karma

Realtime control knobs 1-8, plus Joystick & latching controller switches.

◆ Alternate Modulation and Effect Dynamic

Modulation functions allow you to freely assign modulation to parameters that affect the pitch, filter, amp, EG, LFO, and effects etc.

HI Synthesis System

◆ Includes the same HI synthesis system and

32MB of PCM wave ROM with 425 multisamples and 413 drum samples as the classic TRITON.

◆ 640 user Programs and full General Midi level 2 with 256 Programs and 9 Drumkits.

768 user programmable Combi sounds and

64 User Drumkits.

◆ 5 Stereo Insert and 2 Stereo Master Effects, with 102 different effect types available and a Master EQ section.

◆ The 16 Track Sequencer has the same capabilities as the classic TRITON with the added ability to capture the performance of KARMA phrases and patterns.

KARMA MW Software

◆ KARMA MW software allows PC and Mac users to access all internal parameters of existing GE's as well as make new ones via their computer. Kamra MW also offers the ability to import SMF phrases and grooves (from any SMF source) as well as

TRITON Arpeggiator data and convert them into GE’s.

Connectors

◆ Left and right 1/4˝ main outputs plus two

1/4˝ individual outs.

Options

◆ Up to two TRITON series PCM expansion boards can be installed, for a total of 64

Mbytes of waveform data. The six-voice

MOSS DSP Synthesizer Board can also be installed (EXB-MOSS), allowing you to use both DSP and PCM synthesis technologies without connecting external equipment.

MS2000 & MS2000R

Analog Modeling Synthesizers

The MS2000 44-note velocity keyboard and the MS2000R 4U rack-mount are analog modeling synthesizers that use the latest DSP technology to recreate the coveted analog sounds and hands-on functionality of Korg’s classic MS20 analog synth, VC-10 vocoder and SQ10 analog sequencer. All major sound creation parameters are available on the front panel, with 35 dedicated knobs providing the ability to create and manipulate sounds in real-time. MS voices are built around two multi-waveform oscillators and a noise generator and have access to four types of analog-style filters, dual ADSR envelopes and two MIDI-synchable LFOs along with dedicated volume, pan and distortion controls. The Korg MS2000 is housed in a futuristic metallic blue-green body, with the keyboard version echoing traditional analog instruments with rosewood side panels. The rackmount MS2000R can also be used on a tabletop. Both have an angled front panel for excellent visibility and easy operation.

FEATURES

Hierarchy

◆ There are a total of 128 programs divided into 8 banks of 16 sounds.

◆ Each program can contain one or two timbres (4 voices total), effects and an arpeggitaor— If two timbres are used, they can be split, layered or accessed independently from different MIDI channels.

◆ Each timbre consists of Osc1, Osc2, and

Noise followed by a Mixer that allows you to adjust the levels of each.

◆ The tone generator uses a DSP-powered analog modeling system based on the

KORG Prophecy, Z1, and Electribe series and has been further refined to produce a wide range of sounds. From sharp, cutting leads to powerful and thick pads.

◆ After the mixer, signals are sent to the

Filter, Amp, EGs (envelope), LFO, Virtual

Patch, and a Mod Sequence.

◆ All major sound creation parameters are available on the front panel, with 35 dedicated knobs providing the ability to create and manipulate sounds in real-time.

OSC1/OSC2/NOISE

◆ OSC1 allows you to select from eight different oscillator algorithms, including basic analog synth waveforms such as SAW and PWM, Cross

Modulation, and 64 DWGS (Digital Waveform

Generator System) used on the Korg DW-8000 synthesizer.

◆ OSC2 allows you to select from three types of oscillator algorithms: SAW, SQU, and TRI. It can also be used as a modulator oscillator for the Sync or Ring modulation characteristic of analog synthesizers.

◆ You can also mix NOISE into the signal.

◆ There are a total of 70 possible waveforms which can be “wave-sequenced” using the Mod

Sequencer.

◆ All of the analog-modeled waveforms include modulation/shaping to help recreate the sound of pulse width modulation as well as generating frequency modulation from the Cross Wave.

◆ Oscillator 1 can be linked to Oscillator 2 for

Ring Mod and Sync timbres

◆ External audio signals can even be used as a waveform, and processed and modified with filter, effects, and parameters

Mixer

◆ The mixer section allows you adjust the levels of OSC1, OSC2 and NOISE, and send the combined signal to the

Filter section

Filter Section

◆ Four filter types are available: 12 and

24 dB low-pass as well as band pass and high pass, each with variable resonance that can be adjusted into self-oscillation

AMP Section

◆ In addition to volume and pan controls for each timbre, the amp section provides a Distortion on/off setting so that even soft sounds can be transformed into aggressive solo parts.

Envelope / LFO Section

◆ Dual ADSR envelope generators and two four-waveform MIDI-synchable

LFOs provide flexible sound shaping control

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO

Mod Sequence

◆ The Mod Sequence function allows you to apply time-variant changes to sound parameters in a way similar to varying the control voltage on an analog synthesizer.

◆ Each timbre can have up to three sequences with up to 16 steps each.

◆ Sixteen knobs on the front panel allow you to set the value for each of the 16 available steps. Knobs can be operated in realtime, and you can record the movements of the parameter values in each step using the

Motion Rec function.

◆ In addition to the 28 parameters on the front panel, you can apply time-variant change to the pitch or step length.

Inputs and Outputs

Classic Korg Instruments to Return in Virtual Form

Korg has a long history in the world of synthesizers and they will now be bringing many of the classic, discontinued instruments back to life for digital studios in the form of virtual instruments - the Korg Legacy

Collection. Korg uses Component Modeling Technology (CMT), to model the components that make up the signal chains of the instruments and how they interact in the original hardware instruments.

Currently, Korg has only confirmed that they will be producing virtual instrument versions for three of their synths: the MS-20, Polysix, and Wavestation.

Others Korg models are expected to be recreated as well, however.

The plug-ins will be available for both Windows and Mac OS (VST and AudioUnit formats). Release is expected in the third quarter of this year (2003). More details will likely be released at the Summer NAMM show in July.

Korg has created a special preview section on their web site, currently offering a video summary with an audio track produced with preliminary versions of the Legacy Collection instruments.

CX-3/BX-3

Single Manual and

Dual-Manual Combo Organs

For years, if you wanted the sound of a real tone-wheel organ, there was only one instrument that could deliver – until now. Korg’s

Combo Organs accurately and faithfully re-create that classic sound in two portable models – the single manual CX-3 and dual-manual

BX-3. The original Korg CX-3 first went on sale in 1979 followed by its dual-manual sibling, the BX-3. Both went on to become favorites in their own right, and are still widely used. Now, using advanced

DSP technology and painstaking attention to sound, touch and style, they have been reborn and vastly improved upon.

FEATURES

◆ DSP technology makes it possible to precisely re-create the unique sound that, until now, could only be produced by the real thing. Two different tone-wheel sounds are provided: “VINTAGE” and

“CLEAN”. The CX/BX-3’s amazing realism even extends to such details as allowing you to add the “leakage” noise generated by the tone-wheels, and the ability to adjust their overtone levels.

◆ The CX/BX-3 feature two sets of nine drawbars that duplicate the sonic characteristics of the originals – including the proper foldback settings and harmonic distortion. Select between the presets and these two sets of “live” drawbars while performing for real organ-playing experience. An EX mode in which all 18 drawbars can be utilized as one extended palette is provided. The resulting harmonics and percussion timbres can be used to create organ sounds never before heard.

◆ One of the unique characteristics of a genuine tone-wheel organ is the percussive effect that adds a readily identifiable sound to a note’s attack. The CX/BX3 re-creates that beautifully. The volume, decay rate and harmonic pitch (2nd, 3rd) of the percussion can be adjusted – and the percussion has the proper “multi-triggered-yetmonophonic” characteristic for authentic organ performance. You can even control the amount of key-click heard when you press or release a key, simulating the dirty contacts often found on older instruments.

◆ With 128 programs, the CX/BX-3 are ready to cover a wide range of musical styles including pop, hard rock, jazz, gospel, and rhythm and blues. Detailed drawbar and parameter settings are displayed, and can be easily edited and stored.

◆ Proprietary “REMS” modeling technology is applied to create effects that add further authenticity to the organ sound. The rotary speaker effect, so important to the organ experience, is recreated with total realism. You can even adjust the time required for the rotor and horn to speed up or slow down when switching speeds, or stop the rotation altogether.

◆ Three types of amp simulation are provided: a traditional rotary speaker sound, a blend of rotary and tube amp sounds, or a preamp-only signal. The amp simulations are dynamic, so your sound naturally evolves from a warm and fat sound to a natural overdrive as your volume increases. In addition, the classic vibrato and chorus settings are provided along with three types of reverb, featuring adjustable time and depth.

◆ Attention has been paid to the longneglected aspect of keyboard response speed. The key scanning method used on the CX/BX-3 starts the sound at the first key contact, ensuring a much faster response to your playing. Notes speak more crisply, allowing glissandi, trills and

“smears” to be played with total authenticity.

EQUIPMENT LEASING AVAILABLE

◆ Not limited to a vintage recreation, the

CX/BX-3 is equipped with many advanced

MIDI features. Every drawbar, switch and control can be transmitted as MIDI data so your performance can be perfectly captured by a sequencer. The keyboard can be set to transmit key dynamics via MIDI to an external device that can even be layered with the onboard organ sound.

◆ The BX-3 provides all these features in a dual manual model. Pitch Bend and

Modulation Wheels for improved MIDI control, additional voice parameters for even more authentic sound reproduction, and a newly-designed “waterfall” keybed for absolutely authentic look and feel have all been added.

◆ Different sets of drawbars, and Chorus/

Vibrato On/Off can be assigned independently to the BX-3’s UPPER and LOWER manuals, just like using a real tone-wheel organ. The single manual CX-3 gives you this functionality via a Split Mode, enabling you to play the single keyboard in two sections. Or you can plug in a second

MIDI keyboard to recreate the dual manual playing experience.

◆ Drawbars, vibrato/chorus, and percussion switches are placed in the same location as on the classic tone-wheel organs, demonstrating a total commitment to tradition and playability. The sturdy wood cabinet gives them the proper vintage look, as does theBX-3’s wooden stand.

C-3200/C-4500/C-6500

Concert Pianos

Korg’s Concert Series piano’s are housed in a stylish cabinet and come with all the essentials, including two types of piano sounds and a variety of valuable features only available from a digital piano.

And with their stunningly beautiful sound, they are sure to bring years of musical enjoyment. The C-3200 and C-6500 feature a real weighted hammer action keyboard that responds to every movement of your fingers. Just like a grand piano, the keyboard has a heavier action in the lower register and lighter action as you play upward, giving you the truest piano feel possible. All three models offer a three-position key touch control that lets you select light, medium, or heavy response, so you can choose how the sound will respond to your playing dynamics. A two-track, 14,000 note sequencer lets you record two parts separately (like a backing track and a melody). This can be a convenient function to use when you are practicing or working on a new lesson.

FEATURES

◆ Three separate pedals are provided for damper, soft, and sostenuto, allowing professional-level piano performance.

◆ They also support half-pedaling, a technique where you only slightly depress the damper or soft pedals for a wide range of tonal possibilities.

◆ In addition to two grand piano sounds, they give you a total of nine sounds (six on the C-4500) including electric piano, harpsichord, organ, string, and bass, all with the same quality as on Korg's professional synthesizers. You can choose to split these across the keyboard with different sounds in the high and low ranges, or layer them for rich new sounds.

◆ They come with chorus and reverb effects that enable you to further enhance its piano and other sounds. (On the C-3200 the effects can be adjusted in three stages.).

Brilliance is also adjustable in three steps to control the brightness of the sound.

◆ MIDI I/O allows connection to a synthesizer or other MIDI-equipped device. (IN addition, the C-4500 has a PC interface).

◆ Key transpose feature lets you transpose the pitch of the instrument so you can play in any key with ease.

◆ A convenient metronome function is builtin for practicing.

◆ In addition to the standard temperament, they provide two historical temperaments,

Kirnberger and Werckmeister.

◆ With a maximum 64-note polyphony, you’ll have plenty of notes for full piano performance even while using the sustain pedal.

◆ Utilizing Korg’s world-acclaimed technology, the C-4500 and C-6500 boast beautiful, professional piano sound and feel. Their tone generator is equipped with the same

HI synthesis system as best-selling Korg synthesizers, like the award-winning TRITON and KARMA workstations. With a new memory-rich, dynamic stereo-sampled piano sound, the C-4500 and C-6500 sound like a true grand piano and respond faithfully to your keyboard playing dynamics.

◆ On the C-6500, “Dynamic Stereo Sampled” piano sound actually switches between two different piano samples, one played softly and the other hard so your expressive playing is perfectly represented.

◆ Audio output jacks allow their sounds to be heard through external speakers. Or, via the audio inputs (not on the C-3200) you can plug an outside audio source and listen through their internal speakers.

◆ Their sophisticated and classic design features a brown walnut finish that looks good in any room. On the C-6500, the key cover that protects the keyboard is designed to close slowly, like a fine acoustic piano, giving an extra measure of safety in homes with small children.

New! EC-120 Concert Piano

The EC-120 is the most affordable 88-key Concert Series Piano. Using the latest sounds from Korg’s professional voicing technology, the 32-voice EC-120 delivers a high-quality, spacious stereo piano sound, plus electric piano, harpsichord, vibraphone, organ and string sounds. The EC-120’s full-scale keyboard provides the same feel as a traditional hammeraction acoustic piano and includes three levels of touch sensitivity.

Two pedals provide true piano performance, with the ability to switch the Sustain pedal to

Sostenuto function when needed. Reverb and Chorus effects add spaciousness and color to the sounds. A built-in, 4,000 note MIDI recorder can capture and playback the user’s performance for tracking progress or playing along to.Also features MIDI I/O, two headphone jacks, line inputs, and key transposition. Housed in a rich black walnut finish cabinet.

KSP-8

Multi-Bus Signal Processor

The KSP-8 is an eight channel, 2-space rack mount signal processor designed for the pro and semi-pro musician/engineer/producer requiring high quality signal processing and demanding unparalleled real-time control.

It is the world’s only 8-channel multi-effects processor with twice the processing power of

Kurzweil's KDFX system. The Kurzweil

KSP8 includes all the high-quality effects algorithms from KDFX, and adds surround reverbs and other new effects. The KSP8 breaks through traditional barriers and delivers with a wide range of flexibility. The base unit comes with 4 analog inputs and outputs, and stereo AES/EBU in and out, for a total of 6 possible channels. An I/O option slot provides a choice of expanding with 4 additional channels of analog I/O or 8 channels of Alesis Lightpipe I/O, Tascam TDIF, or AES/EBU I/O. Inputs and outputs may be flexibly routed. 24 bit precision is maintained throughout. The unit offers a selectable master clock, dedicated EQ, and can process 8 mono channels of audio simultaneously, making the KSP 8 an ideal tool for today’s MDM based studios.

FEATURES

Factory ROM

◆ 249 effect algorithms (expandable)

◆ 636 effect presets (up to 999 user presets)

◆ 138 effect chains (up to 999 user chains)

◆ 14 studios (up to 999 user studios)

Effect Routing

◆ Any 8 of up to 14 possible inputs can be processed and routed to any 8 of the

14 possible outputs. This allows the

KSP8 to be setup with 8 mono in, 8 mono out; 4 stereo in, 4 stereo out;

5.1 plus stereo I/O configurations and anything in between.

◆ Each input signal has its own multi-band

EQ and stereo or multi-channel panner.

◆ Input and output routings can be saved as part of the Studio.

◆ Effect buses can be routed directly to the

KSP8's outputs, or to internal mixdown buses for submixing.

◆ The unique multi-stage metering section allows for metering at 4 points in the signal path, for all 8 channels.

Architecture

◆ At the lowest level is the effect algorithm which are designed for use in mono, stereo, and surround applications.These high quality, and highly tweakable algorithms have been crafted exquisite effect presets ranging from spacious and gorgeous, to shocking and in your face rude.

◆ Effect presets are easily linked together to form effect chains on up to 8 buses. You can fully customize effect presets and chains and have all the control they want.

◆ Parameters can be controlled in realtime and automated via MIDI. A host of local modulation sources including up to 36 LFOs and

36 envelope generators, with 72 functions is also available for combining control sources.

The Studio

◆ The highest level of the KSP8 architecture is called the studio — a kind of “snapshot” of the total state of the KSP8 at one time.

◆ Studios contain all the physical connection settings, signal routing (analog and digital

I/O selections), analog and digital signal levels, as well as the assigned effect presets, effect chains, effect bus assignments

(including all MIDI channel and controller settings) and all multi-band EQ settings.

◆ A studio allows you to save and recall your entire project, quickly and easily.

V-SYNTH

61-Note Synthesizer

The Roland V-Synth is a distinctive and inspiring new instrument that opens up a world of new sounds full of life and motion. The V-Synth's sound engine is designed to be configured in several different ways by choosing from preset Structure types--just like a semi-modular synth. Imagine a synth that combines multiple oscillator technologies with realtime control of a waveform’s pitch, time and formant. Now add user sampling to create entirely new waveforms, powerful COSM filtering, a killer arpeggiator, touchscreen and a host of realtime controllers including the revolutionary

TimeTrip Pad.

FEATURES

◆ 61-note synthesizer with velocity and channel aftertouch

◆ 16 part multitimbral and 24 voices of polyphony (depending on available DSP).

Sound Generator

◆ Two variable oscillators, each with a choice of three sound generation techniques.

❑ The PCM oscillator uses Roland's

VariPhrase technology for independently manipulating the pitch, time and formant of the over 300 preset or user-sampled waveforms.

❑ The second oscillator type is Analog

Modeling which offers nine traditional waveforms, utilizing Roland's latest modeling technology to deliver sounds that are fat and warm.

❑ External Audio Processing is the third oscillator type, which allows any external sound to be used as a synth waveform.

◆ All oscillator types can be mixed and layered in several ways, or modulated using

FM, ring mod and hard sync to create sounds never heard before.

◆ Powerful COSM processing including filter modeling, guitar amp modeling, resonator and Side Band Filter.

Effects

Global reverb, chorus and multi-effects enhance the sonic palette even further.

TimeTrip Pad

◆ The TimeTrip Pad is an innovative controller that lets you adjust the time parameter of a waveform in real time—without affecting pitch or formant—simply by dragging your finger along the pad. You can speed up a waveform, slow it down, or freeze it at any point.

Realtime Control

◆ Over dedicated 20 knobs and sliders allow you to grab essential sound parameters quickly and easily.

◆ The large and intuitive touchscreen interface responds to dragging motions, allowing you to access more detailed parameters

– Imagine setting an envelope curve just by sliding your finger on the screen.

◆ The Twin D Beam controllers provide an expressive interface for controlling parameters in realtime

Programmable Arpeggiator

◆ Programmable arpeggiator provides additional rhythmic and timbral controls. It allows you to create complex riffs from a single note or chord, or to create timbral changes that add rhythmic motion to a sound.

Inputs and Outputs

RS7000

Music Production Studio - Integrated Sampling Sequencer

The RS7000 is a complete desktop studio designed to meet the needs of modern music production. It offers a unique and powerful feature set including sampling, a AWM2 tone generator, sequencing and effects with an intuitive user interface and real-time control of virtually every parameter. Perhaps the most unique function is the ability to seamlessly integrate audio and MIDI data. You can import samples from a variety of formats, sample actual sounds from external sources—or even created unique loops and phrases by re-sampling internally sequenced sounds within the RS7000 itself. The Integrated Sampling Sequencer

(ISS) automatically breaks the samples into discrete parts

(based on amplitude peaks and divisions of time) and generates a corresponding MIDI sequence. This allows loops and phrases of differing tempos to be synched together and processed using

MIDI controls to change the Tempo, Swing or any other musical parameter controllable by MIDI. Add to this a plethora of studio and DJ-style effects, SCSI and SmartMedia storage and you realize that the RS7000 is the ideal nerve-center for your next remix, electronica or hiphop project.

FEATURES

On-Board Synthesis

◆ Internal 62-voice AWM2 tone generator with over 1,000 onboard ROM-based synth voices and 63 drum kit sounds.

12dB Low Pass, Hi Pass, Band Pass and

Band Eliminate all controllable with a multi-stage envelope.

◆ The LFO section includes a number of

BPM-sync’d waveforms plus a unique user programmable wave for creating unique

BPM-sync’d effects.

◆ Sounds edits are stored as part of the song and pattern data, so a virtually unlimited range of user sounds can be created.

Sampling

◆ 4-MB of onboard sampling memory, expandable to 64 MB.

P90

Portable Professional Piano

As the successor of the famous P-80 the P-90 recommends itself as a professional portable

Digital Piano for the stage. Due to the triple

Dynamic Stereo Sampling (DSS) and special sustain and key-off samples its piano sound is incredible natural and accurate. With its 64 notes polyphony the P-90 stands even long sustained passages. 24 Voices include not only piano sound, but organs, strings, choirs and basses, too. Using the Split or Layer functions two Voices can be played simultaneously - in two separated keyboard ranges (Split) or unison or layered (Layer). Eight digital effects do the polish on the sound. The Graded Hammer keyboard is responsible for the realistic touch - like on a acoustic piano the weight of the keys increases to lower notes. Its 2 headphones jacks and many internal demo songs make the P-90 ideal for music lessons. MIDI In/Out and the TO HOST interface recommend it as a master keyboard for large setups or computer aided music production. Power adapter, music rest and a sustain pedal are included.

P250

Professional Stage Piano

Grand piano stereo samples for dynamic selection according to your touch on the keyboard. The result is a delicacy of tone and expression that emulates the experience of playing a real piano. And to give the P250 an even more richly detailed sound, note off samples, string resonance samples and sound board samples simulate the acoustic interaction between different notes. The sound is unmatched, and so is the touch, thanks to the GH (Graded Hammer Effect) keyboard. The GH keyboard uses weights and mechanical linkages to achieve an entirely new level of realism. And to go even further, the key weight is graded from heavier in the lower registers to lighter in the higher, exactly the same as a grand piano’s. To deliver the sampled instrument voices and 128 notes of polyphony with all the power and authority they deserve, the P250 features a new speaker system and high power stereo amplifier. The P250 features 16cm polypropylene woofers and a 30 watts per side stereo amplifier. The result is astonishingly lifelike power.

The first thing you’ll notice about the

PSR1100 and 2200 are the displays. Large, back lit, bit mapped graphic displays are able to show lyrics, scores and tons of information available in seven different languages. Just put in a disk, push play and the song starts, the sheet music is displayed and the words to the song appear in time to the music. If you care to sing along, the PSR2200 includes a microphone input with vocal harmony technology. As the song plays through the PSR2200, you read the words in the display as you sing through the microphone, and the PSR2200 harmonizes with you in your voice in real time. Amazing.

Improvements over previous models include double the voice wave ROM memory and new and improved style and voice content for spectacular sound, a USB connector for fast and easy computer connectivity, and improved operating functions.

Added to the PSR1100 over its previous model is the ability to display scores like the PSR2200.
