Korg BPX-3 Analog Bass Synthesizer with Pedals


via this auction

via the description: "Korg BPX-3 Bass Pedal Synth. Really rare. There isn't much information on these. I remember reading that Royksopp used one on Melody AM in a magazine years back, but cant find the reference. I know they like rare Korg stuff though, since they appear on the cover of their most recent album with a Korg Synthe-bass.

The presets are much less aggressive than a Moog Taurus, and other pedals that are similar. The sounds are totally fat, smooth, pure analog bass. Very sub-bassy, deep, and full. You can control the tone with the bass and treble eq, as well as attack, sustain, and 'click'.. which is kind of like a decay setting. The controls arent that drastic, providing basic shaping to fit your bass sound in a mix, but the sounds themselves are totally bread and butter and can be used on anything."
