Korg MSC-8S Percussion
Sound Card Set
The MSC-8S "Percussion" sound card set consists of the MPC-08 Program card, and the MSC-08 PCM card. These two cards install in the slots of the Korg M1 series, adding several new waveforms and programs to the machine. The MSC-8S Percussion card set focuses on percussive sounds of various nature, and adds 26 new waveforms ranging from anvil, finger cymbal, gun shots, vibraslap, guiro, shaker, claves and many more. |
|
Many of the patches feature captivating sound programming, and in addition to "standard" patches, we find quite eccentric, unique creations as well. |
