MSC-12S Synth 3
Sound Card Set for the Korg M1 series

Korg MSC-12S Synth 3


The MSC-12S Synth 3 is the third set of synthesizer-based waveforms and programs in the MSC series.

This set introduces new synth waveforms:  Saw, Saw Oct, Square, Pulse Dual, High Pass, Sync, Whitenoise, SynBrass, SynPad, Syn Bass  2, Syn Bass  3, and Perc Bell.

The quality is typically Korg, and the set is well programmed.  Noteworthy the use of vibrato via modulation joystick that imparts a wonderful "analog quality" to the sound.

The Combis are mostly multi-timbral recreations of the Program sounds.

A nice addition to a keyboardist's sound set.

Click on the audio examples below to hear all 100 sounds contained in this Korg M1 classic expansion set.
