Main features
Rhythm Player function

drum and percussion accompaniment.
• Twenty-four dierent rhythm styles are built in. You can
directly select these rhythm styles by using the buons on
the top panel.
• Each rhythm style has two variations, and each of these
variations contains three rhythm paerns: basic, ll-in 1,

Acoustage (surround) function

sound eld.
* Acoustage (Virtual Surround Technology by KORG)
is Korg’s original and revolutionary virtual sound
technology for creating a unique personal acoustic space.
Using only front stereo speakers, this technology allows
an unprecedented three-dimensional acoustic listening
experience. The playback system itself is acoustically
analyzed, and optimizations are applied for that specic
system so that its full potential can be realized.
