MSC-6S Fretted Insts 1
Sound Card Set

Korg MSC-6S Fretted Insts 1


The MSC-6S "Fretted Instruments 1" sound card set consists of the MPC-06 Program card, and the MSC-06 PCM card.  These two cards install in the slots of the Korg M1 series, adding several new waveforms and programs to the machine.

I find this card set to be very skillfully programmed.

The core of the new samples includes new guitar (electric and acoustic), bass, banjo, and even great-sounding middle-eastern stringed instruments.


Rounding the offer, there are many new programs that focus on non-stringed instruments, such as warm pads, organs, and strings.
