MSC-2S Synth 1
Sound Card Set for the Korg M1 series
|
The MSC-2S "Synth 1" sound card set consists of the MPC-02 Program card, and the MSC-02 PCM card. These two cards install in the slots of the Korg M1 series, adding several new waveforms and programs to the machine. The focus of this card set is on new synthesizer-oriented waveforms. New PCM samples include Bell waves, pads, syn vox, synth bass, and various digital waveforms. |
|
|
Rounding the offer, there are many new programs that focus on non-synth instruments. |
