Main features

❑ Detailed and powerful modeling sounds delivered by Korg's
modeling technology.
What is ?
(Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling Sys-
tem) is KORG's proprietary sound modeling technology which pre-
cisely reproduces the complex character and nature of both acoustic
and electric instruments as well as electronic circuits in real world
environments. emulates a wide variety of sound generation
characteristics including instrument bodies, speakers & cabinets,
acoustic fields, microphones, vacuum tubes, transistors, etc.
❑ 57 different modeling effect variations are built-in, and you can use
up to six different effects simultaneously (including noise reduction).
❑ You can edit all of the parameters for each effect in the four effect
categories (pre-effect, drive/amp, modulation, delay/reverb).
❑ Use these modeling effects to create your own sounds and store
them in internal memory as one of 40 user programs. In addition, 40
more programs are provided as presets for immediate use.
❑ Connect an optional Korg EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10 expres-
sion/volume pedal, and use it as a wah pedal or volume pedal.

❑ The delay sound is preserved when you switch between programs
that have the same delay type and TIME parameter [P1] setting. Simi-
larly, the reverberation is preserved when switching between pro-
grams that have the same reverb type.
❑ A built-in auto chromatic tuner lets you tune while bypassed or muted.
