MSC-4S Orchestra 1
Sound Card Set for the Korg M1 series
The MSC-4S "Orchestra 1" sound card set consists of the MPC-04 Program card, and the MSC-04 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 orchestral instruments. New PCM samples include bassoon, clarinet, oboe, french horns, new strings, harp, pipe organ, and even some new digital synthesizer waveforms. |
|
Rounding the offer, there are many new programs that focus on non-orchestral instruments. |
