MSC-3S Drums 1
Sound Card Set
|
The MSC-3S "Drums 1" sound card set consists of the MPC-03 Program card, and the MSC-03 PCM card. These two cards install in the slots of the Korg M1 series, adding several new waveforms and programs to the machine. The Drums 1 card features new drum & percussion sounds, but also adds numerous new Programs and Combinations of other types of sounds, like electric pianos, basses, pads, strings etc. The drum sounds improve on the stock M1 drum samples. |

Some of the best patches feature great-sounding, punchy acoustic, but also electronic drums. |
