The DSM-1 comes equipped with a full 1-Megaword PCM waveform
memory,
for perfectly sampling even the most memory-intensive sound sources.
This rich
sampling synthesizer module has 16 voice polyphony, 16 individual
outputs,
and is multitimbral a maximum of 64 sound source split points,
at the maximum
sampling frequency of 48 kHz, the DSM-1 is capable of recording
an audio
frequency spectrum even greater than that of the hearing range.
All elements of
the instrument's design were engineered for optimal sound quality.
The DSM-1
has a maximum sampling time of 64 seconds (over a total of 4 banks),
and a
built-in antialiasing input filter. Up to 512 samples and waveforms
can be stored
to memory. Wave editing functions include operations such as Reverse,
Link,
Mix, Cross Phase Looping, Back & Forth Looping, View &
Edit of sound data,
and Pitch Adjust. The built-in synthesizer sound processing function
provides 46
separate parameters, including such sound shaping tools as VCFs
and VCAs.
And with the memory storage capability of up to 32 Programs
and 32
Combinations, the DSM-1 is ideal for creating rich, multi-textured
sounds -
especially in live performance situations. The data of the DSM-1
is stored to
2-Megabyte, 3.5-inch 2HD disks, providing high capacity storage
with
exceptionally fast loading time. An optional SCSI interface is
available through
authorized KORG service centers.
