Korg PSS50 Programmable Super Section (EMM Jul 84)

muzines.co.uk

The Korg PSS50 Programmable Super Section is an intriguing "backing band in a box" ideal for musicians lacking a full ensemble. Its compact design packs a punch with digital PCM percussion voices and programmable accompaniment patterns. While it impresses with authentic drum sounds and varied accompaniment voicings, its "preset" operation style may not suit everyone. The limited storage capacity of eight songs could be a drawback for live performers, and its complexity might intimidate less tech-savvy musicians. Despite these limitations, it offers a valuable tool for solo performers seeking ease of use and programmable backing tracks.

Nice but Cheesy and Honestly not that Usefull

Honestly I love the cheesy sound of this thing, Its got surprisingly nice drums and the chords sound nice. Its not for every style of music, I mostly use the drums as samples so you don't need the unit it self for that. A useful tip is in the tuning mode you can trigger the drum sounds and make a sine-ish drone with the keyboard. Not realistically not useful for much but I love using it for ambient jams. the chords that it makes are cheesy but useful. I also do enjoy running external gear through this, it does not do much but the stereo knob seems to add just a little spread to the signal. The external input and the addition of a headphone AND line output does allow you do some feedback with this that's rather interesting. Obviously not something that it was intended for and is risky to do.

The main use for this is as an accompaniment tool. I hardly use it for this, most patterns are too cheesy and I cant figure out how to use the song mode. If you want it for that I'd temper your expectations, It cant sync with anything easily and most patterns are not good.

Not something I'd recommend unless you can get it for super cheep, I got mine for 50 second hand and use it enough that I think that was worth it.
