The Korg DSS-1 (Digital Sampling Synthesizer) is a polyphonic sampling synthesizer released by Korg in 1986. As Korg's initial entry into the sampling market, the DSS-1 combines sampling, additive synthesis, and waveform drawing with an analog signal path.

A wonderful early digital synthesizer. With eight notes of polyphony, two oscillators per voice, a noise source, two multi-stage envelopes, a resonant filter and auto-bend, the DSS-1 has much in common with Korg's previous flagship DW-8000. But it went much further, boasting twin digital delays, oscillator sync, an improved unison mode, a lush ...

At the heart of the DSS1 is a 12‑bit sampler with fixed sampling rates of 16, 24, 32 and 48kHz; maximum sampling times range from 16 seconds down to a crisp clean 5.5 seconds at the (impressive) top rate of 48kHz.

The DSS-1 features the typical Korg joystick, perfect for controlling pitch-bend, vibrato, filter modulation and other effects. Keyboard controls include velocity, aftertouch, and key transpose - all programmable.

The Korg DSS-1, released in 1986, is a monster hybrid of analog, digital, and sampling-based synthesis. It has the best Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF) that Korg ever bestowed on a synthesizer (it was also the last VCF-based synth that Korg ever made).

2013年1月28日 · Introduced in 1986, the Korg DSS-1 was Korg’s answer to the 12-bit samplers of the day, namely E-mu’s EMAX, Sequential Circuits’ Prophet 2000/2002, Akai’s S612, and a plethora of others that were jockeying to become the sampler of choice. The DSS-1 shared some similarities with one of its earlier siblings, the DW-8000 synthesizer.

Korg DSS-1 Digital Sampling Synthesizer (1986) A huge digital/analog hybrid sampler with some basic synthesis functions. It looks like a bit like the synthesizer Korg DW-8000 but on steroids. DSS-1 is one of the most underrated sampler ever, boasting 16 …

The DSS-1 features a 61 key velocity sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. The pitch bend joystick features both normal modulation (-Y axis) and filter modulation (+Y axis). There are four front panel sliders: volume, tuning, and data entry A and B.
