Program Your Backup Patterns and Chord Progressions - a Valuable Assistant for Practice,

Recording, and Composing

It's like having your own session musicians ready to play along with your songs and arrangements. 

The PSS-50 lets you program both the backing pattern (drums+bass+ strings, brass, piano, etc.) and chord progression. You can then play it back to try out different arrangements, make demo tapes, or simply practice your instrument. 

The forty eight built-in backing patterns include 4, 8, and 16-beat, as well as fusion, reggae, disco, ballad, and many more. Each is amazingly realistic and has its own exciting original arrangement. 

Since you arefree to arrange the three parts in each backup pattern as you like, you have a possible variety of 100,000 new and different combinations. With the song writing function you can change the backup pattern and chord progression a bar at a time (or even at every half measure for chord changes). 

The PSS-50 will store eight of your songs for automatic playback. Add breaks and endings just the way you want them. 

The drum section uses digital storage technology to give you real drum sounds that are a far cry from an ordinary rhythm box. Songs can be linked for continuous play or to handle longer compositions. 

The tape interface permits infinite song data storage. 

Other features include external input jack (for mixing with guitar, keyboard, etc.) built-in stereo effect, stereo drum output with fixed array, drum-stick lead-in, and more.

Korg DRV-2000 Digital Reverb, June 1987, made in Japan

SPECIFICATIONS
Released: 1986
Quantization: 16 Bit
Sampling Frequency: Unknown
Frequency Response: 20Hz-15kHz
Dynamic Range: 95db
THD: o.o1%

The Korg DRV-2000 Digital Reverb is a creative digital reverb that responds like a musical instrument – because it responds to the way you play. The Korg DRV-2000. Much more than a professional 24-bit digital reverberation unit. Much more than a MIDI compatible multi-effects unit, featuring 16 programs like Gate Reverb, Stereo Echo, Flanger, Space Pan, and dual effects programs like Reverb and Echo and Reverb and Chorus.

Much more than a creative sound-processor that lets you program and store up to 80 of your own effects. The Korg DRV-2000, like a musical instrument, can actually be controlled by tile way you play. We call it Multi Modulation. It enables you to modulate parameters such as Reverb Time, Pan Speed, Echo Feedback Level and Gate Shape by the level of your playing, whether you play electric guitar sampling keyboard, sax or even drums.

Each of the DRV’s 96 powerful effects programs (16 presets, 80 User Programs) can respond to your playing just as expressively as your own instrument does. MIDI users can modulate the Korg DRV-2000’s effects by MIDI touch sensitivity and a full range of MIDI controllers. You can also use optional foot controllers for Multi Modulation, as well as for selecting programs and cancelling effects, leaving your hands free to play your music. The Korg DRV-2000 Digital Reverb – it responds like a musical instrument.

Multi-ModulationThe Korg DRV-2000 allow’s you to select, for each effects program. two parameters 10 be controlled by Multi Modulation You can then select a control source Irom Ihree calegones.

• INPUT LEVEL: The level of your playmg (or even your singmg)
• MIDI: A full range of MIDI controllers, as well as
• MIDI Note Number, Key Velocity, and After Touch
• VOLUME PEDAL An optional volume pedal

For each parameter, the Multi Modulation sensitivity can be set anywhere from – 100% to + 100%. For example, you could control Reverb Time by MIDI Key Veloclly. Set the Multi Modulation sensitivity 10 +100% and the Reverb Time will increase as you play louder, to add power to dynamic solos.

Set the sensitivity to – 100% and the Reverb Time Will Increase as you play more softly, to add atmosphere to quiet passages. On all programs, you can Multi Modulate the Input level or Output level, so that you have complete control over the overall level of the processed-sound direct-sound mix from your Instrument.

And when you change programs (using an optional foot switch) the parameters that you have selected for Multi Modulation change automatically. The Korg DRV-2000 is designed so that during performance you need never touch the controls on the main unit – you’re totally mobile.

Input LevelWith the DRV -2000. control of digital effects is not Just lor MIDI users. Arrt player can control parameters list by the level of their Playing. Natural, realistic effects can be created, such as having the Reverb Time increase when you play louder.

Special effects are easy too, like Multi Modulating the Space Pan so that when you turn up for a solo, the sound pans dramatically between your speakers. You could take advantage of the Korg DRV-2000’s variable Gate Shape feature and use Input level to modulate the Gate Reverb program so that your playing actually affects the type of reverberation that you hear.

Volume Pedal
Another plus for non MIDI users. A volume Pedal such as the Korg KVP-001 can be used to control any two selected parameters. For example, a pianist could use a volume pedal to increase the Reverb Time of any of the DRV-2000’s six natural reverberation programs, to instantly add just the right amount of ambience to his  sound or an electric guitarist could use a volume pedal to simultaneously control the speed and depth of the Flanger program.

MIDI ControlOf course, the Korg DRV-2000 IS fully compatible with MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), the technology that allows digital instruments to control each other. This means that you can set selected parameters to respond to a wide range of MIDI controls, including:

• Key Velocity
• After Touch
• MIDI Note
• NumberPitch Bender
• Foot Controller
• Data Entry Keys
• Modulation Controller

This permits an enormous variety of MIDI control possibilities. such as:

• Controlling Echo Feedback by the Pitch Bend controller of your synth. This lets you lengthen echo on high lead lines, then shorten echo to prevent muddying of lower pitched passages.
• Using a MIDI drum machine such as the Korg DDD-1 Dynamic Digital Drums to control Reverberation Time. You can set each instrument on the DDD·1 to transmit a different MIDI Note Number, automatically varying the reverb effect a long, thunderous reverb on the snare, medium reverb on the Toms, short reverb on the bass drum.
• Selecting MIDI Note Number for Multi modulation so that the depth and rate of chorus or flanging varies according to the pitch of the notes you play on your DSS-l Digital Sampling Synthesiser or any MIDI keyboard.
